a couple of other random vma observations:
1. jimmy fallon was painfully unfunny as host.
2. eminem has lost any sense of humor he might've ever had. he's talented and all, but what a dick.
3. justin timberlake, while clearly lip-synching, is a born performer. he can dance (not as well as usher, but can you?), and he's got a supple, soulful voice on him. I've suggested to friends for the last couple of years that his solo debut (justified, 11/12) could be a faith for a new generation. I'm doubting that now, largely because of the whole "I must get every super producer for my project" mindset most popstars have these days. [george, you might remember, produced himself.] but it could still be massive. and he, or pharrell, or whoever, gets bonus points for putting the clipse - the clipse?! - on his debut solo single. weird. the verses are bland lyrically and musically. the chorus is just bland lyrically. the bridge is the shit.
4. christina aguilera officially frightens me. we all knew she was following the mariah career template, but mariah never looked this bad, or this hookerish.
5. good god, nelly's an idiot.
