MTV Awards

[plexisys]

And people wonder why the music industry is dying......

[sfoote]

I couldn't help but watch. Some of the production values were straight out of Sabado Gigante!, but Britney is doing the Oprah thing right now --- meaning sometimes she's thin, sometimes she's not. Right now she's thin.

Yep, I'm going straight to h*ll.

[JordanA]

It really needs to stop. The music industry is really getting bad. Everything is too fake. My girlfriend needs to stop watching it!

Agreed!
Then Family Guy was a rerun... and I played Peggle instead of watching anything.

I saw the guy from Good Charlotte on the red carpet with Paris Hilton. I wanted to throw up.

I spent the better part of last week on the Paramount lot, decommissioning my console. The MTV kids had taken over pretty much the entire property, meaning I had to park off-site, because they had taken all the visitor parking. 90% of them were 20-somethings, trying to outdo each other with how friggin' hip they were. Annoying little bastards that seemed to be more interested in chatting with each other than getting any work done. How many millions of $$ were wasted on that stupid show?

It's been at least 5 years since I've watched MTV. I'm sure I'm not missing anything of value.

The music was dribble, and with the constant lip syncing and the choice of "artist" you might as well be watching Sesame Street. Actually I shouldn't insult Sesame Street. The host was the most obnoxious personality in years.

I watched the show to see if there was anything that was new in the business that might be worth looking at or listening to. If anything what I saw and heard made me want to cry for the entire music business.

Music industry has hit the "Paris Hilton" era. Fame and fashion, and a good publicist is what rules the industry. 15 minutes of fame for everyone. Talent is no longer a requirement.

Do you look good in videos? Do you look good in designer clothes? Can you learn to dance and lip sync? Please sign the contract here.

MTV is to music and culture as the popped collar is to fashion. It's only for the pretentious and clueless.

ha!




of course we're all pretentiously laughing at those jackasses...

[plexisys]

I don't need a vocal coach, I need a full length mirror.

[mbradzick]

What a puke-fest.

[musikwerks]

Firstly, 'MTV' is a complete misnomer. They rarely play music these days.

Secondly, I was struggling to actually know who a lot of the "artists" were.

Sad days indeed.

[mbradzick]

Well, we gotta remember that .0004% of artists out there, even ones signed to major labels get played on Empty-V. Fortunately the more I think about it the more I realize that it's a small fraction of the amount of music out there. What's sad though is that MTV has long been a reality show network rather than music, and it's a showbiz conglomerate. It's almost like musical theater...where your ability to look good and dance out-shadows any sense of musical originality or taste.

Funny you should mention Sesame Street, I have this song in my car stereo right now, and I jam to it.... JAM TO IT!!! This sh*t is REAL MUSIC, I bet that's Wayne Shorter on Soprano Sax

Why Sesame Street is better than MTV

[mbradzick]

Can someone show Lil Wayne how to use a belt? I mean I know he sold 2 billion records his first week but I think all that money went to tattoos.

He seems like a nice guy though.

Wikipedia says it's due to the lack of belts in jails to prevent inmates from hanging themselves but my girl said it's to spot the ones "ready to receive" in jail. I thought it started from hand-me-downs in the hood, where the older siblings would pass down the larger clothes to the younger ones. Either way it looks ******** and I can't believe it was allowed on national TV. I can't believe Lil Wayne is compared to Shawn Carter/Jay-Z.
