Lady Gaga the Show Stopper
Lady Gaga generates the most provocatively entertaining story from the 2009 MTV VMA’s. Host Russell Grand discreetly sheds light on the not so quiet whispers that Lady Gaga may actually be Sir Gaga. Then Interscope Records product Gaga tailors her show perfectly by closing the performance in mock death, fake blood dripping from her body as it dangles from a cord above stage.
In true showman (no pun intended, lol) fashion Gaga steps her couture headgear up throughout the show (adding fuel to the hot rumor that she has an Adams Apple and penis), donning a spiked out red crown, with face mask attached, to receive her very first Moon Man for Best New Artist (dedicated to God and gays, btw); her closing piece? A white birds’ nest/Christmas reef number… guess she’s a Fallout type of girl – doesn’t care what you say as long as it’s about her.
P.S. – Hip hop’s DC ambassador Wale holds down the emcee role for the house band and is in position to benefit from Lady Gaga’s show stealing antics (CLICK POST TITLE 2 VIEW “CHILLIN,” feat. LADY GAGA; RFM is sure glad Wale ditches the burgundy bowtie mid-show for a Redskins colored varsity jacket).
Kanye’s Losing Fans
As if we even dare to think that a key hand in crafting an event album like ‘Blueprint 3’ plus capitalizing off his pop-art glamour/hip hop swagger with custom designed Nike AND Louis Vuitton kicks and continuously raping the world’s hottest live music venues can sustain Kanye’s gi-normous ego. His hair cut low and engraved Gucci-man style with many symbols and lettering, Mr. MTV Heartbreak busts up Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video victory speech to announce that Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” vid is not only a best of 2009 but one the greatest pieces ever shot.
RFM frowns upon this type of seemingly unwarranted revelry as does Ms. Beyonce Knowles-Carter; she selflessly invites Swift to the stage when B wins a Moon Man for Best Video of the Year. Kanye does too much again. RFM loves him, but if he loses fans, sales and respect then… oh well.
Jay-Z.
Young Hova’s voice cracks when he does back to back heavy shows; MSG houses the big homie on 911 and Hova two nights later closes out the 2009 VMAs with Alicia Keys. (Side Note - Alicia is so bomb; are thick thighs and booty trendy right now? I sincerely hope so; Janet, B and Alicia all rock that shit so well). The guy arrives in a frickin motorcade El Presidente style. In all reality he’s probably napping before the show.
At the end of the song Alicia rises from the piano to bring Hova some respiration because he really starts to lose wind in the third verse of “Empire State of Mind.” But we respect the King of Rap for having no hype man and continuing to give %1000 at his shows. He’s folk hero Hova now.
Green Day
The American Idiots seem never to disappoint a crowd; Mike TV is all ready for a “21 Guns” salute, but album cycles are real and its third-single-time for the band formally known as Sweet Children.
First Green Day’s lead man Billie Joe Armstrong bounds from the stage in search of some good old fashion mush-pit love. An unshakable security guy is bent on preventing the crowd chaos, so our man, quick on his feet as he is, invites the roaring twenty-somethings onto the stage and achieves his goal – kicking and swimming toward the heavens courtesy of the people for whom Green Day rocks.
GOOD SHOW MTV!
Thanks for the recap! I don't usually watch VMAs, but thankfully I did last night. You should have included a bit about the MJ Tribute by Janet and Pink's AWESOME performance! Those were my favorite parts, although everything was a bit anticlimactic after Kanye's outburst.
