The Poojer Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 who was that doing a duet with christina aguilara? what song was that? they sounded awesome! she may be a skank, but shes got a set of pipes on her
gantrules Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Yeah, I watched half of it....then I turned it off because it was horrible. The guy from Hoobastank couldn't even sing the high notes...I've seen better band at the Penny Arcade. And when did it become that you lumped all the metal groups together but that retarded fool "lil'Jon" is on every single set??? It's not the "Video Music Awards" it's the "Video R&B & Rap Awards".....
The Poojer Posted August 31, 2004 Author Posted August 31, 2004 far too much hip hop rap, and it seems that usher or lil john or ludakris ARE on every single song out...it gets old after a while, but christina can sing, alicia keys/stevie wonder/lenny kravitz was pretty decent also.

jarthur31 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 MTV died for me the day they kicked rock out the door for stinking RAP!!! !@#$em! I washed my hands of them long ago.
mcjeff215 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I caught it about half way through... I got so sick of... "MIIIAAMMMIII What up MIIAAMMIIII!!!! In the house!!" All of the "your city rocks" crap. Was painfully obvious it was geared toward teenagers.

I've got nothing against different cultures but this is going a little to far for me....I must be getting old.

I'm sick of all that crap too. The only reason to watch those awards is to make fun of the stupidity and vanity of the majority of the celebrities. Go Bills

sidbuff Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I grew up listening to rap and hip-hop when it was fun an enjoyable to listen. NOW I can't lsten to it at all except for probably LL COOL J, EMINEM, JAY-Z and the Black -Eyed Peas. Now all I listen to is K-Rock........... My biddues that I grew up with can't believe hoiw much of a change I made. I changed the way I dress and to what i like listening to. Hip-Hop and rap died when the old school rap died away Remember SLICK RICK, RUN DMC, SIR MIX ALOT, 3RD BASE, SPECIAL ED, etc..
Cugalabanza Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Anyone watch the MTV Video Music Awards? I was gonna, but then I decided it would be more entertaining to slowly tear all the skin off my legs. I was right.

BillsFanNC Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I guess I'm officially getting old, but I'm proud to say that I have absolutely no idea who most of the "artists" are that are mentioned in this thread.
mcjeff215 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Dude, it's not even a culture thing - I'm black and I can't stand that stuff - I KNOW it is because I am too old and glad about it......... 13371[/snapback] I think a lot of it is just an act put on to whip a crowd of teenagers into a frenzy. For those of you complaining about all of the Rap/R&B sucking... I agree. But take a look at the rock groups they had... wow. Freaking horrible. That one dude sounded horrible. He couldn't even hit the high "notes." Not to mention that "sleep all day, stayin' up all niiiiiight" junk. Wow. All of the guitar driven stuff coming out now sounds EXACTLY the same. Weak riffs highlighted by guys who all try to sound like stereotypical punk singers. I can proudly say that I didn't know who 75% of the people on there were. I found it funny that in 5 years, they'll all be no names again. I can't say that I think any of those "artists" treasure their moon-men awards. It's just a giant MTV publicity stunt. I've said it before around here... I've started going BACKWARDS to find good music. The "2000-2009" years are shaping up to be another 1980's when it comes to music. There is plenty of stuff around still new to me. I don't need this new crap.
todd Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I didn't watch, but I just wanted to take a look at who here would admit to watching that dreck.
gantrules Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 mcjeff I agree with you completely. I listen to the 80's station all the time. The good thing is that typically when music gets to this point someone comes out with something that will change the direction of what is produced.
gantrules Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 my daughter wanted me to watch it with her. She was the one who wanted to turn it off. We ended up watching Who's the Boss.....back to the 80's again.
1billsfan Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Video Music Awards? Given out by a network that no longer plays music videos? Hmmmm, interesting concept. People who buy rock oriented music are not in their demographic (aka 9 to 16 year olds). If your not a Britney-clone tart or a wind-up flavor of the month supergansta rapper then you aint "hot" enough for the MTV music generation. MTV is no longer for music lovers in general.
Corp000085 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 who was that doing a duet with christina aguilara? what song was that? they sounded awesome! she may be a skank, but shes got a set of pipes on her nelly... that was a great song One thing i noticed was that big boi pushed the bible during his speech, then during outkast's songs, he yelled "play the goddamn song andre". I thought that was funny. Those monk looking people and that song was just plain odd.
Cugalabanza Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 There is plenty of good music from any era, including this one. You just have to look below the surface. I do agree though that the surface right now looks mighty bad. Usher? Hoo boy! No thank you please!
/dev/null Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 mtv=rj didn't bother watching, but i did catch the highlites. well, actually they're more like lowlites with one highlight...they bit with sweet sweet jenna and her hot sister barbara
