    2011 MTV Video Music Awards...

    I have mixed emotions about last nights VMAs... some really great performances, even if your not a fan of the music or the artist, but if you have much love for music, you can give respect when deserved.   I'll be completely honest, best performance goes to Adele, hands down.  I get chills with that voice of hers and you can tell she is an emotional person especially with that song, 'Someone Like You'.   Beyonce's performance was great (she sang 'Love on Top') and loved the ending - obviously, by the time she was performing, most people knew that she had just confirmed she was pregnant with her first child with husband, rapper, entrepreneur, iconic Jay-Z.  At the end of her performance she unbuttons her jacket to reveal a small bump and starts circling the belly and camera moves onto Jay-Z who is glowing, like really glowing of pure joy, happiness, love and admiration for his wife, the mother of his baby.  Kanye West stood next to him, hugging and obviously being that they are so close, he is super happy for his friends, which is nice.  Speaking of Jay-Z and Kanye.. they also did a surprise performance of their hit, 'Otis'.  The indie rock band, Young the Giant, were awesome - totally rocked the place with the song I personally like 'My Body' - I thought they were going to play the other single, 'Cough Syrup', which is good - but I like 'My Body' better.    The rest of the performances were good, Lady Gaga, was joined by legendary Queen's guitarist, Brian May - a little disappointed in the audience to have not given them a standing ovation, just alone for Brian May, a legend.  HELLO people.   Anyway... you can check out all the performances (including Lil'Wayne, Cobra Starship, and Chris Brown) on MTV's website.

    Britney Spears was given the MTV's Vanguard Award...  Lady Gaga in her alter ego, Joe, introduced Britney and she said some really nice and true things about Britney.  When the cameras would turn to Britney, she looked like she was tearing up, which was sweet.  Britney wanted to be an entertainer since she was a little girl and her dreams came true.  She may have had some up and downs and people can joke about pop singers and music, but it's a part of music history.  And that is in fact something she has made herself, contributed much to the music industry, whether it be sales, tours, or some drama - it's in the books.  And then Russell Brand and Tony Bennett spoke for the tribute to Amy Winehouse, which Bruno Mars sang Mark Ronson song, 'Valerie' which Amy was featured in and made the song what it is and Ronson and Winehouse were really great friends, so its really perfect.
