For those of you who missed the MTV VMA’s you missed one of the best award shows I’ve ever seen despite another bland performance from host Russell Brand (whom I normally think is very funny) and one of the most shocking interruptions in award show history. All that to go along with Lady Gaga’s bizarre but oh so attention-grabbing theatrics followed by Pink’s Cirque Du Soleil inspired acrobatics. Then add maybe the best rock performance at the VMA’s since Nirvana’s Kurt and Dave tore apart the stage while Krist stumbled around after hitting himself in the head with his bass guitar was Green Day.

The night did end on two amazingly cool notes, the first being Beyonce calling Taylor Swift back on stage to let her finish the acceptance speech that was cut short. It was a very classy moment that drew a standing ovation for the packed house. Then came the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys duo to cap off a night full of very memorable moments. Speaking of which did I mention the Michael Jackson tribute? There was that too.

If you didn’t happen to catch this years VMA’s don’t worry, I’m sure it’s being repeated on MTV even as you read this.

What a night!

T-Pain is officially brilliant no . . . dare I say genius!  He Paired up Antares (the maker of Auto-Tune), Smule (an inovative music software creator), and Nappy Boy Online.com (T-Pain’s record label and general robo-soulishpere) to create an iPhone application that gives your voice the robo-soul that you’ve always needed.

You know I’m hooking this up, it’s too much fun!

All I can say is RIP ODB

The number 2 video on my list is not only one of my all time favorite hip-hop videos but also one of my all time favorite music videos. Long before Coldplay’s backward masterpiece for The Scientist; Pharcyde, with a little help for legendary director Spike Jonze tapped in on the reverse angle.
