ashleyfanficSo, it is because of the VMA's that I have discovered the band Muse. I really loved the song they performed last night, "The Resistance".
Lady Gaga freaked the hell out of me. What was with the weird ass costumes! Here's how I feel about it. If you have talent, it will shine and you don't need the gimmicks of the weird clothes and stuff. Your talent should be enough.
Which brings me to Taylor Swift, who gave a great performance last night after Kanye did something completely vile to her. She turned a horrid thing into something shinning and she, and Beyonce, are the real winners from last night.
Just one more thing. I miss with the VMAs were full of unexpected things, from Kid Rock playing with Aerosmith, Pee-Wee Herman making jokes about getting caught with his pants down in a porn theater, to Brittney Spears dancing around on stage with a python, and Eddie Murphy going down into the women's bathroom during the show. I liked those things. But really, it should be about the music.
Do you realize that if a band like Led Zeppelin or Boston or Foreigner came out today that they would never get air play because they aren't attractive. They just made good music, gave good performances, and if it was based on looks they would have been screwed. Something is wrong with that.
One more thing about the Kanye outburst, notice that the only person defending him is Russell Brand who got in trouble last year for making fun of the Jonas Brothers for being virgins. Guess he knows what it's like to kick puppies and have people hate him for it.
