Jumpin' Jack Flash Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 VMAs is the time of the year the industry looks at itself and pats itself on the back all while lowering the bar every year. But seriously, what business does a GNR fan have commenting on mainstream music? The way people talk around here sometimes, you'd think we think everybody but GNR sucks...That's cuz it's true, meng.

Marky Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Many of those choices are well over a year old. And also, Womanizer up for Best Video, but not Best Female Video? That doesn't even make sense in relation to itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtylenny Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I empathize with you, but honestly, there was just as much disposable pop back thenYeah but ain't it great? Hermans Hermits, Jan & Dean, The Hollies, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch, Lulu...they were fuckin amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 For that Moonman category (the only one that sounds semi-interesting), I'm hoping Tom Petty wins. That's my favorite of the songs there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I hope Lady Gaga wins everything cause she is the best thing to happen to pop music for quite a while.I see Mike Patton has been singing Poker Face. Awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Rose Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've watched the VMA's and the EMA's since I was a little kid, which means from the mid-90's. I watch the shows mainly because I'm interested in popular music and how it develops. The last 2 years I've only watched EMA's (EMA's in general have always been better musically than VMA's) because of the nominees and the standard of pop music today. I can't believe how much utter shit this years list also holds. Beyonce in almost every fucking category? Eminem, excuse me? Of course not to mention Taylor Swift, Green Day, Al Rahmaan, Flo Rida and other shit. For example, why is Katy Perry nominated just in one category? Her songs thruout the year have been very catchy, she owns a great voice and has a "rebel" personality, all of which make a great pop artist.I am, though, very happy to see the Best Video (That Should Have Won a Moonman) category and extremely happy for Cold War Kids, Anjulie and Major Lazer for getting nominated, even if it's in the category that no one gives a shit about.
