Written by:stacia_dossMTV premiered its annual Video Music Award show Sunday night, hosted by comedienne Chelsea Handler in Los Angeles, California. While there were a few good performances, the overall show was pretty dull.
The night ended with eight VMA awards for Lady Gaga in a meat dress, Chelsea Handler in a hot tub with the Jersey Shore cast, a memorable performance by Usher, and two "interesting" performances by both Kanye West and Taylor Swift.
To provide a little background, West interrupted Swift last year during her award acceptance for video of the year, but this year, the two of them interrupted our televisions with odd performances that seemingly addressed last year's incident.
First, it was Swift. Her performance opened with a video showing West interjecting during her acceptance speech. Then, she proceeded to debut a song which rang "forgiveness" to West for his actions.
The song definitely wasn't the fairytale, Romeo and Juliet-type songs the 20-year-old's audience is used to hearing.
To close the show, Kanye West performed his song in a bright red suit with gold chains. No rapping from him, just singing.Runaway (Live):
The lyrics possibly alluded that he was going to change his ways. He spoke of someone being fed up with his actions and sang about "making a toast" to various groups including "douche bags", among other negative name-callings. Cool, huh?
And that was about all that made the show worth watching.
