2011 VMA’s

Lady Gaga opened the MTV Video Music Awards with a monologue mocking one of her exes. I’m not a fan of Gaga’s, but I thought that idea was genius. The big news of the show was Beyonce announcing that she’s pregnant. I guess Jay-Z was foreshadowing a little bit in the song ‘New Day’ off the ‘Watch the Throne’ album, when he rapped about his unborn son. The first award went to Britney Spears for “Best Pop Artist”. ‘Otis’ was performed by Jay-Z and Kanye West, which I wasn’t expecting.  In the middle of the performance a fan ran on stage, but was quickly apprehended by security. The performance wasn’t affected they still finished. It’s one of the best songs on the ‘Watch The Throne’ album. Nicki Minaj won the award for Best Hip Hop Video; I felt either Kanye or Chris Brown should have won. Kanye did receive redemption by sharing an award for ‘Best Collaboration’ on Katy Perry’s song ‘E.T.’. Adele did a great job with her performance, but I was distracted by her hairstyle, was that a wig she was wearing? Kim Kardashian coming out to present the best male video was a treat. Beber fever is alive; Justin Beiber won Best Male Video. Shout out to Chris Brown for doing a dance routine to ‘Protect Your Neck’ by the Wu-Tang Clan. The tribute to Britney Spears was real cool as she received the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, but nothing is better than seeing Beyonce perform. It was fantastic, and afterwards the cameras immediately showed Jay-Z who couldn’t be more proud of his wife and mother of his child. Tyler the Creator won Best New Artist edging out Wiz Khalifa, who for some reason I don’t think was too upset because he still gets to go home with Amber Rose. Lady Gaga’s weirdness finally exposed itself when she received the award for Best Video with A Message for her song ‘Born This Way’. Katy Perry won her second award of the night for Best Video of the Year. Lil’ Wayne’s performance once again showed why I don’t really care for him. He attempted to sing and it seemed like he’s still using auto-tune, which sounded horrible.  He then attempted to do a rock performance which some people may have enjoyed but, I think he needs to master the art of rap before he attempts to butcher another genre of music. On another note, unfortunately, Kevin Hart didn’t get much air time to actually host. I hope you enjoyed the awards. Congratulations to Jay-Z and Beyonce!!!
