Rapper Eminem and Rihanna performed their hit song “Love The Way You Lie” during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
I love Rihanna but that wig is dreadful!
MORE after the break
A year after Kanye West nearly destroyed his career by snatching the mic from singer Taylor Swift, she returned triumphantly to the VMAs last night. Taylor sang a sad ballad about a man who’s lost his way in life. “I guess you really did it this time/ Left yourself in your war path/ Lost your balance on a tight rope/ Lost your mind trying to get it back,” she sang. Many believe she was referring to Kanye. Swift lost the Best Female Video Moonman to Lady Gaga.
Troubled producer/rapper Kanye West closed out the show with an off-key performance of his new single titled “Runaway”. It’s too bad Kanye decided to mount his comeback by pointed the finger of blame at everyone but the man directly responsible for his troubles.
“Let’s have a toast for the douchebags/ Lets have a toast for the assholes/ Let’s have a toast for the jerkoffs/ Every one of them that I know…,” he ranted.
But why should we be surprised that a narcissist such as Kanye would find it hard to humble himself before others and accept full blame for his own failures? Last night’s comeback performance should have been an epiphany moment for a man who finally understood the error of his ways. Instead, his “pity me” performance sounded like a broken record that was mediocre at best. Do better Kanye!
Lady Gaga took home the Best Female Pop Award and the Best Female Video Award. Lady Gaga also announced the name of her upcoming album, Born That Way. I can only imagine she’s alluding to the rampant rumors that the Lady was born with functioning male parts. I could be wrong though.
Singer Mary J. Blige (L) and rapper Drake performed his hit “Fancy” onstage during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards at NOKIA Theatre L.A.
Usher did his best Michael Jackson impersonation. Everyone is complaining that artists today lack originality in their craft. It’s one thing to draw inspiration from a legend like Michael, but it’s another thing to copy his every move night after night.
