Britney Steals The Show?

What better excuse than an awards show to get absolutely hammered on martini’s with your bff’s on a Sunday night?

So that’s exactly what we did while sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting patiently for the televised resurrection of Brittney Spears on the VMA’s. After all, that’s what MTV had subliminally hyped us into believing. All you saw on every VMA commercial was a newly buffed Brit ready to retake her crown. But when the curtain came up all we got was yet another close look at her makeover, followed by an evening long ass-kissing session as the entire show slowly evolved into a Spears lifetime achievement award ceremony. Thank God the artists that really made inspiring music this past year showed up to celebrate in spite of it all.


Rihanna remade Tina Turner circa 1985’s Mad Max and The Thunderdome to get things started off on the right track.


... The Jonas Brothers (who I still don’t really understand) quietly dressed to kill and earned my attention anyhow.

... then Christina Aguilerra reminded us all that while we were all waiting on Brit to come back from the dead, maybe we should be watching out for her instead.

Performances by Wayne, Atlanta native T.I.P., and Pink were also hot. But it was the return of Mr. West to the MTV stage performing his two week old song “Love Lockdown” that made the whole evening worthwhile. The 80’s rock vibe clashed perfectly with his modern day Robert Palmer-esque attire (Tom Ford perhaps? Maybe YSL?). Either way, the new song is another trendsetter and made life after Graduation look very promising.
