Taylor Swift really rubbed me the worst out of everyone (Miley included). She's a little snob. And her hair looked stupid. Gaga actually surprised me the most out of the night. GaGa came off as someone who is really down to earth and normal tonight. The only thing over the top about her was her lack of clothing. Taylor came off as a total bitch tonight. I lol'ed when she said "Shut the f**k up" while her ex from 1D was speaking when they presented that award Taylor is so pressed and bitter lol. "Sorry for my arm." And: But no, y'all keep talking shit. She'll wipe her tears with her millions.

I don't see how anyone in their right mind could say that JT was not the best performance of the night. I mean, c'MON. And it really shows that the VMAs continue to lack star power. They continuously just kept panning to Taylor and Selena and then 1D and sometimes Rihanna. I guess no other important people decided to show up. When an awards show for VIDEOS and MUSIC keeps panning to Will Smith and his kids, you know there is a problem in terms of attendance. They had plenty of celebrities in the building. The issue is that the seating in the Barclays Center is absolute sh!t. It's not traditional theater seating like the past years. It's all over the place and they were only able to focus on certain sections.

I'm still wishing Britney will go back and perform at the VMA's. Even her Gimme More performance shits on most of tonight's acts. Honestly, the Gimme More performance wasn't bad. If Miley or Katy or Rihanna or someone did the same performance, no one would have batted an eye.

My internet went out literally right before Katy performed. She didn't sound too bad I guess. And then Gaga right after. I know they didn't show it back to back for that reason, but it still felt almost shady.

Some thoughts: * The opening- Stefani Gaga's performance was fine, but not nearly as memorable as Stefani Gaga's "Paparazzi" performance * Miley Cyrus: HOT HOT mess, but I knew it would be something people would talk about, for better or worse * Mackelmore & Lewis/Mary Lambert: Nice * Kanye West: Good, as always * Justin Timberlake: Entertaining, but I kept wondering when it would end * Bruno Mars: Not my favorite of the singles from this album, but he delivered * Katy Perry: The boxing theme in the music world has been done ad nauseam by now, but 'Roar's" so anthemic that it doesn't matter. An actual lion would have been a nice touch (even though that's been done before in pop, too)

Eh, I still cant get over how bad the VMA was last night. I agree that this year, it seriously lacked star power. I mean, was I watching the Disney awards?!
Rihanna, Katy Perry, 1D, JT, Taylor were probably the biggest names in that stadium but they don't have presence or command your fucking attention like when Beyonce, Britney, and even Adele. How MTV chose Katy to close still baffles me when shes not remotely close to a great performer. Biggest fail of the night.

Just my 2 cents about Miley :
The sad thing about all these child/tween stars is that their idea - or at least their management's ideas - of how to lose the teen pop idol vibe and graduate to being an 'adult' performer is to simply ramp up the sexuality. It's as if they're thinking of Adult in the porn sense and that's it.
Ramping up the sexuality is the most creatively bankrupt thing ever for a Pop star. It's actually the "safe" and predictable thing to do and not edgey or refreshing in the least.
It would be nice if someone told Miley that learning how to write songs, making decent albums and behaving like an actual human being would be a more difficult but ultimately more rewarding method of gaining credibility.
I'm not complaining. Miley just sent Middle America, their suburban moms and daughters running screaming into the arms of Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

Taylor at the VMA Afterparty with Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles. Now this should put a end to the nonsense about Taylor.

Well, people do act differently when they're face to face with someone, compared to when they're not. But, I agree- who cares, anyhow.

Looking at the gif it really seems like she says 'sorry for my arm'. Or even if she did say 'shut the fuck up' I don't think it was towards Harry since he wasn't even talking when she said that and looking at Selena's reaction she probably said sth to Taylor that annoyed her and so she cursed her. Still hilarious tho.

If someone I love like Britney or Christina or Adele is there next year, I'm just gonna watch their part on YouTube the next day. I can't watch the whole show again. I am STILL in shock of how BAD that was.
By the way what is with the VMA's and always hiring this Kevin Hart dude? Outside of the VMA's I NEVER have heard of him and he's NOT FUNNY at all. Omg he needs to stop already.

Didn't watch the whole thing. I was busy watching "Breaking Bad" which was really good while during commercials I was watching the VMA's. I wasn't impressed. It was nice seeing the NERVO twins on the preshow or whatever it's called.
Props to Ellie Goulding, Justin Timerlake, Lady Gaga & Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis. Didn't care for the rest.

Before we get ahead of ourselves lets all keep in mind Britney Spears stopped attending the VMAs before it was cool.

Now this should put a end to the nonsense about Taylor. ugh, you should tell Taylor that. She's the one keeps stirring the shit up. None of her dating lasted more than 2 month, so yeah, enough of this nonsense.

Can we just let the Taylor thing drop? So she's a hater, don't tell me you don't have that one ex you wish would get hit by a truck.
Of all things to criticize her for, this is not one of them.

Gaga's performance was solid, awesome job I really enjoyed it.
Miley.....no words.
Bruno and Justin were the highlights of the night, both of them killed it.
Katy was really underwhelming.
