I'm sure by now, everyone has heard about what happened at the Mtv Video Music Awards this past Sunday night. I want to discuss two events in particular: Miley Cyrus' performance and the NSYNC reunion.
Miley, Miley, Miley.
I wonder what happened in her childhood to lead her to this. I'm sure part of it has to do with being a child Disney star. Imagine growing up in the spotlight with such high expectations before you can even spell the word "expectation." I'm sure these kids have a lot on them to be successful, to be a star, to be a role model, etc. So it's no surprise that when they grow up and break away from Disney, they go wild with all the things they couldn't do before. That I completely understand. What I do not understand is the need to jump around like an idiot and hump foam fingers on stage in front of thousands of people. It was just bad and trashy. And to be all over a 30-something year old married man is not ok. I'm just glad that I don't have to explain what happened on that stage to a young child.
And NSYNC. The rumored reunion was the only thing that motivated me to watch the VMAs this year. I was so excited and hyped up for it....only to be majorly let down. It lasted all of 90 seconds and didn't seem like anything special. It was awesome to see one of my favorite childhood groups back together, but it felt like a huge tease. And, I don't know, it just didn't feel special. It was just like "hi we're here, we're singing together, now we're gone."
Overall, the VMAs were a waste of time but not without hilarious moments of stupidity where I question humanity. I honestly had more fun reading people's tweets during the show than watching it.
