1. Video of the Year winner Katy Perry Firecracker my pick Adele Rolling in the Deep. Nothing against the talented Katy Perry I like her too but The Official Charts Company announced that Adele is the first living artist to achieve the feat of two top five hits in both the Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since The Beatles in 1964 with her song "Someone Like You".
2. Best Video with a Message winner Lady Gaga, Born this Way my pick Pink, F**** Perfect both are harsh videos with a definite message. I don't know what to make of Lady Gaga sometimes, I was confused by the whole Joe Calderone entrance at the awards show. I liked when she power sang, "You and I", she's just as talented without the drama. Pink's video is disturbing but maybe something parent's should watch, and observe this generation, their emotions and what they are listening to and watching and singing about. Personally, I like Pink and she's a local. She grew up in Doylestown and attended Central Bucks West High School.
3. Best Male Video winner Justin Bieber, U Smile. I must admit it was my first experience with Bieber Fever. Maybe if I were 17 again, I would be dazzled. My crush was Davey Jones of the Monkees, David Cassidy and later when I matured Dave Mason. I am sensing a pattern here maybe I was star struck.
4. Best Female Video winner Lady Gaga, Born This Way. It must be her year. I am still staying consistent with Adele, Rolling in the Thunder. In my opinion she was definitely overlooked. It is such a powerful song. Every one has their own tastes.
5. Best Rock Video winner Foo Fighters "Walk" no dispute from me. I thought the video was creative, funny and very true to life, the ending was a little weird. Job well done, in my opinion. I was laughing throughout the video.
6. Britany Spears won the first ever Michael Jackson Vanguard Award the tribute was entertaining, highlighting some of her hits and choreography.
7. Beyonce is having a baby as she announced to the public while revealing a little bulge after her live performance of "Love on Top" at the MTV Video Awards. Imagine a combo of such talented parents, Beyonce and Jay Z. Congratulations to the parents to be.
8. Chris Brown's live performance of Yeah 3X, Protect Ya Neck, Teen Spirit and Beautiful was spectacular. I won't be a spoiler. Check out the video at MTV. I was mesmerized. How is he doing that? He rivals the great dancer Michael Jackson. I was impressed.
9. Russell Brand, an English comedian, actor, columnist, singer, author, radio/television presenter and husband of Katy Perry. Brand is a former heroin and sex addict and a recovering alcoholic. He spoke of Amy Winehouse and the first impression he had of her as a daft, spacey girl and then he heard her sing and thought she was a genius. He spoke of alcohol and drug addition and "you can get help". He then introduced Tony Bennett who praised her voice and showed clips of the last recording Amy Winehouse did with him at Abbey Road Studios on March 23, 2011f or an upcoming album called Duets, scheduled to be released September 20th, 2011, "Body and Soul" is the name of the track. I had read the song was going to be released as a single with all proceeds going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation but I haven't heard of any updates.
10. Bruno Mars sang "Valerie" a song written by the Zutons that later Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson covered. It became a big hit for both performers. Bruno Mars rocked the house. Warning the song is addictive, no disrespect intended. It was a very moving and sentimental tribute. I am a new fan of Bruno Mars.
Videos of all of the performances can be found at MTV.com and On Demand along with a full list of the nominees and the winners. I highly recommend Bruno Mars, "Valerie" and the Chris Brown spectacular. That is where my votes go. Two thumbs up! Valerie is best viewed on a big screen, if you do not have On Demand, phone a friend. It is worth it.
