###...big black ### everywherePlease use spoiler tags. It's tape delayed on the West Coast.
Ship already sailed...Her headlining tour was sold out almost instantly this year, with resale tickets at insane markups. I like her, but the wife and son really wanted to go. I wasn't paying a grand for two tickets in the back.Cardi B was a hard pass for my crew at Bonnaroo this year. I heard a minute of her set walking to a different show and that was enough for me.
Pretty sure that Eilish will be a headliner next year. Not sure what to think about that.
I'm getting old.
I have a very hard time believing someone who admitted to going to an Imagine Dragons concert doesn’t know who those other performers are. You’re swimming in the same pool.All things considered I vote for myself.
My pool has lane lines, bud.I have a very hard time believing someone who admitted to going to an Imagine Dragons concert doesn’t know who those other performers are. You’re swimming in the same pool.
lizzo's awesome. as is billie eilish (she might be "the chick").I watched it for the 1st time in a long time being i grew up a few blocks away.
Wasn't bad.
I know the cool thing to say is you don't recognize any of this new crap...
Yea you had your typical younger performers/presenters who look out of place but i actually was surprised by the lizzo chick. She seems very talented.
The host was meh but par for the course.
I checked out after the girl who's performance ended with her in basketball shorts?
I know it's corny pop music but last night was some good performances.
Jonas brothers, lizzo, taylor, shawn mendes and the chick. The other chick from Barcelona. Missy Elliott was good.
what can i say...I like to have lawn parties?
she's great. And your instincts were right about the talent. Although these days who isn't a singer/rapper/classically trained flautist.Yea you had your typical younger performers/presenters who look out of place but i actually was surprised by the lizzo chick. She seems very talented.
Yea, i heard that song and that she was a large woman.she's great. And your instincts were right about the talent. Although these days who isn't a singer/rapper/classically trained flautist.
Lil Nas X has the record for song at #1 for the most days in a row for Old Town Road. I don't know if he's any good, but he's definitely is "a thing".what an awful show. lil nas x is a thing? i mean, he didn’t even try to speak or sing, that jonas brothers thing went on for like an hour, for the jonas brothers? my tv got hepatitis c when whore d b “spoke”. i also needed more screen shots of queen latifah and the babib sisters or whatever they are. ugh
It looks like they do...the bigger question is done MTV air them or are they on other sites?Does VMA still stand for "Video Music Awards"? Do they even make or show videos anymore to award them for?
I have a 10year old daughter so I have heard of most of the acts., but still didn't watch.
The movie awards used to be the better award show.
Yep. I know someone up thread mentioned it being "cool" to not know or watch or some such. But the fact is, I simply know none of these artists. If they had some rock acts, then maybe. But I am absolutely clueless about the pop scene and I am ok with that. So I really don't get the whole "you are trying to be cool" thing.This and the Grammys not too long ago cemented to me that I’ve gotten old (44). I literally didn’t know 1 single “artist” on the commercials that were running for them. Not one.
That's on the precipice, anyway. Good luck the next few years.All I know is my daughter is not quite into boys yet but if Shawn Mendes asked her to marry him, she would leave this family and go
IMO Taylor will hold up very well. Jonas brothers i think will. Billie Elish is a sleeper. She has a distinctive sound that is pretty unique.I wonder what music will actually hold up from all of this, though. My bet is not too much. I don't think it's my age informing that, I think there are many things, such as a fracturing of pop culture, the waning interest in an entertainment medium like music (yes, music writ large), and a general corporate attention to algorithms and internet web hits, trying to disguise corporatism under different banners.
It's all really upside-down, this pop culture stuff. I'm stunned MTV even has the VMAs. They're certainly the cutting edge of nothing these days...
I do. The #metoo/sexual assault awareness movement over the past two years has not elevated men victimized by this stuff to come forth and speak freely. Part of that is the remnants of masculine cultural standards, part is that nobody takes it seriously. Whatever the case, it was always pretty clear that there was, if not a double standard, then at least muted aspersions cast towards the female aggressor when it came to male victims.I don't know how Cardi B is still relevant after straight up admitting that she has drugged and sexually assaulted guys.
Meh. Tried too hard imo. I’m not sure how many in that crowd know who he is.Was Maniscalco ok as host?
