VMA's thread.

Aretha Franklin rollin over in her grave right now.

Aretha can't roll over.

all your favorite artists from the past would embrace these spots. your purism don't mean shit. ask them.

Maybe if they didnt have talent and had no choice but resorting to gimmickry. But they did have talent and didnt need to. Id rather watch Ree sing into a microphone for two hours than miley cyrus crawl around stage doing a raunchy billy idol impersonation.


Shit is so sad.

[DuMa]

MTV is a sad tv channel

Aretha can't roll over.

You know Miley Cyrus must have really shocked people when their even talking about her on ESPN. I was watching Mike & Mike in the morning and Greeny was talking about how disgusted he was.

Yep, altho just blaming Miley takes the easy way out, if thats what anyone is doing.

Its the producers who decide how this stuff goes down. And how do they decide? Simply by what they know viewers will watch.


The average person doesnt know what quality is if it smacks them in the god damn face. Theyre happy to settle for raunchy celebrity shock video. Thats the standard today.

Ariana Grande has a voice but she needs to enunciate her words. Half the time I can't hear what she's singing about.

[Take Your Lumps]

About this Miley Cyrus business...I really only know her name but what the hell do you expect?

Have you seen the video for that song?

Have you read the lyrics?

You expect her to come out in a sweater and ankle length skirt?

This is what the masses want. This is all people wanted to talk about.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Miley Cyrus is hilarious. It's like some dumbass make a wish child said they wanted to be a pop star and everybody pretended to like it because she was dying. Except people actually like it...

Its watercooler talk. Nobody wants to watch an engaging science documentary on a Sunday night, because theyll miss out on the program everyone else is gonna watch and talk about at work and on facebook and so forth.

Entertainment media is geared for the broadest audiece possible. And the broadest part of any pyramid is the bottom. People actually want to fit in more than they want to learn, be stimulated, be engaged. They could literally air ANYTHING on the vmas (rather anything that requires no thought or understanding), and folks will watch because they need to be part of the next days social conversation. Theyre afraid to be left out. So they have to see what ridiculous sideshow of smut took place on the televitz. Its more important that they watch what everyone elses watching than it is they watch something WORTH watching.

Had no idea Gaga had an ass like that. straight put Miley to shame.
