Its amazing how much this show has fallen off in the past 25 years. I remember how cool it was. I was just graduating High School and the channel was getting ready to launch. The Moon Man was everywhere. People really didnt know what MTV was until Prince and Madonna showed up and real stars with talent embraced the network. Now its a bunch of bullshit wanna be poptarts, pregnant kids who tune into TMZ,and would rather talk about Britney and Lindsey than music. I haven’t seen a great video on MTV since Jeremy or Enter Sandman. I keep on trying to figure out why they dont show video anymore and the reason may seem kind of funny, but the reality is they cant compete- With YOUTUBE. Thats right. They have no way to compete. With YouTUBE you get over 9000 hrs of video per day. And its targeted to specific audiences. Not mass appeal but focused, really targeted videos. If you want to see cars – you got it. If you want to see it backed up by strippers – You got it. Wanna see a Michael Jackson Thriller video animated with Animals dancing – You got it. Now instead of Videos you get reality TV, Gossip shows and a bunch of Bullshit. Truth is, they won the battle but lost the war.
I saw Britney tonight in her shimmery dress. I thought she looked quite Plump actually. I thought Katy Perry looked cute and giving Brit the award was a joke. Probably was owed for her wack performance a few years back. You know all these shows are rigged. Its a known fact. You perform on Grammys – you get a Grammy. Perform on AMA’s you get an AMA. Thats why there is always a major debate on which show to do. The best of all the award shows has always been People’s Choice Awards. You get the best of everything. I think MTV should put a fork in it and change the Entire format of the station to ALL Video all the time. Make the Reality stuff its own channel, and bring back the news and a real reporting team to get back in to the music business. I also suggest moving the Award Show to Miami and make it a weekend thing. Its the only place you can really do it right. Keep it all on the beach. One Street and Let the whole place rock for a weekend. And please for the love of G-d, get someone to host the fucking show. That guy although very smart and witty, could not command a stage at all. There was no laughter, no delivery, and no interaction whatsoever. It looked like a school play. A bad one at that. Oh look at that, Its time for Entourage. Saved by Vinny Chase and Drama. Thanks HBO for always keeping up your standards of excellence.
