A very nice opening act by Eminem’s Not Afraid followed by collaboration with Rihana, Love the way you lie. Also Eminem won best male and best hiphop, unfortunately Eminem left the building for a gig in New York and did not get the chance to accept his awards. The host was Chelsea which I think was not really impressive coz she often does character assassination plus below-the-belt remarks to almost everyone. Lady gaga on the other hand did very well, won best pop, best female and best video. How I wish she did the closing act instead of Kanye. Taylor Swift’s performance was brilliant. She earned her confidence very well on stage despite the unfortunate moment with Kanye from last year’s VMA. Also Florence and the Machine was excellent plus performances of Bruno Mars, B.o.B. and Hayley Williams and ending their act with Paramore. One of my disappointment was why Justin Bieber performed outside rather they used the poor boy for marketing/promoting VMA coz almost all their ads mentioned Justin Bieber but then it was Kanye doing the closing act where there was nothing much to see or hear about Kanye. Adding to it, Justin Bieber won the New Artist. Linkin Park performed very well that night, very impressive. And, Best Rock goes to 30 Seconds to Mars and I like it. Jack Ass 3D is something to look forward to. They were the presenter that night and it was rather hilarious. Mary J. Blige and Drake performed well. And last but not the least Usher burned the dance floor with his moves and the song OMG plus the effects. Usher and Justin Bieber could have closed the night with Lady Gaga which could have been something different and memorable.By: Vincent Ryan Borres
