While music is finally starting to get interesting again, the MTV Video Music Awards have been kind of hit or miss the last few years. This year was no exception.

The set was pretty cool. Interesting use of water, especially given all of the lights.

Green Day started the show, and it never really got better than that. In fact, it kinda got worse right after that when Puffy Puff P Daddy Diddy D came out. He's a great businessman, but he's still the biggest poseur in music.

It is refreshing though to see that some of the most beautiful people in the world are also the most talented. Alicia Keys and Shakira come to mind (how does Shakira move like that?). I'm so into Kelly Clarkson (the closet goth chick) and Joss Stone (the soul music hippy chick) right now.

It seems like every year they have an orchestra or a dead rapper on, so it only makes sense that this year they did both at the same time.

The Gap started running a series of ads equating favorite jeans to favorite songs, with Alanis, Joss Stone, John Legend and a few others. The morons paid all that money for the ads and to air during the show, and lame and unprofessional as can be, have a message on their Web site that says they're updating their site.

Did you see what Eva Longoria was wearing? Holy shit, I can't believe she could wear that on TV.

How the hell did Mariah Carey get nominated for anything? She hasn't been relevant in like 12 years. She sold out ages ago and hasn't made a good album in a decade. Her performance wasn't interesting either. What is it with her always posing?

I have to admit that I miss Beavis and Butthead. I think they're ripe for a revival.

Playing the role of Billy Corgan's creepy little brother was the lead singer from My Chemical Romance.

Kelly Clarkson was worth waiting for. She's intense, very much the real deal.

Other than that, it was easily one of the most forgettable shows ever. It's sad when the Grammy's have become the more interesting awards show.
