MTV VMA's- The Auto Tune Awards Show

The channel that hasn't played a video since Michael Jackson died, and at the annual kiddie porn/ auto tune award show has provided their list for the "artists" they deem worthy of merit or have polluted the airwaves enough further bastardizing and decimating the music industry with lackluster auto tuned "talent". The interesting thing about this list is that most of these nominees were winners last year from the same album. Were there not enough new releases within the past year without this sad recycling? This list should be thrown in a land fill or that floating trash island.

Katy Perry's infantile bootleg album that is an insult to anyone over the age of 12, was released at the end of 2009, she was laughably nominated for a Grammy, Teen Choice, VMA, Brit, and then we are back full circle to a VMA? She should be sued by the writers of American Beauty. How does walking around and showing cleavage warrant video of the year? Wearing an ice cream cone or peppermint shaped bra, while Snoop Dog lazily raps in your video warrants an award? Wearing a pink wig and sticking your butt out has now become best female video? We have set the bar mighty low... Wearing an alien head, blue face paint with Oakley product placement, lee press on nails and having flashing lights in addition to showing more cleavage warrants a best collaboration award?

Love the Way you Lie, was on Relapse and the tone deaf Loud, both released at the end of last year. This song which is sang in 12 different keys, has been played adnauseum on numerous award shows, the radio, and malls coast to coast for over 6 months on 2 albums that were released almost a year ago. Bruno Mars has a song about doing nothing but farting...Ceelo looks like King Jafee Jaffur from coming to America and the song wasn't even good, Pink Friday was a rotten turkey crapped out on thanksgiving, Wiz Khalifa isn't a new artist, he's just commercial and Kanye's jumpoff's jumpoff and a very medicated Britney is dancing in a sewer. Britney Spears - Katy Perry - Rihanna, they might as well call this the MTV Auto tune awards show - they just needed to nominate Ashlee Simpson for a Lifetime achievemen­t award and then it would be complete.

As anyone can see, this is garbage at it's highest level, bought and paid for by the record companies and sold to the masses. Why is a song about doing nothing or weed on this list? Why are songs almost an entire year old competing with music that came out more recently? Love the Way You Lie was on both Eminem's and Rihanna's album, but this piece of seizure inducing fecal waste is being treated as if it were the greatest song ever and if it were a recent song. It's almost like MTV has OCD with the nomination process and logic be damned. Breasts are now called special effects? Who needs CGI or 3D, Hollywood is wasting millions of dollars when all we need to do is show our breasts and that's special effects.

An MTV VMA award has about as much respect as a Nickelodeo­n award. If you're willing to perform and show up, you'll either be nominated and/or awarded. In the real world, winning an MTV VMA award has about as much clout as a Lowe's credit card.

Till the World Ends nominated for best choreography, don't make me laugh. Britney was in a sewer with a body suit, basically pacing while her dancers did the dancing. All she could muster was slinging her hair, squint in the camera and do one or two dance moves. Hardly choreography...Vocally shes not better than Adele - yet has received more nomination­s, rhythmical­ly not better than Beyonce yet has received more nomination­s, even in the preteen popularity stakes, Bieber wins - yet she receives more nomination­s than any of them. Her over eager publicist has managed to make a complete mockery of this show. If this were the first of April, I would believe this were an April Fools joke. What's next for MTV, a reality trash TV award show, since that's all they play anyway. If I were Adele, I would seriously decline to attend and hand my nominations over to the MTV. Better to die in obscurity than be infamous like Paris Hilton or Katy Perry.

Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Rihanna seriously? They should all be nominated for best use of auto tune. I want to barf 360 degrees every time any of their songs come on the radio, then I change the station and the world is back to normal. Not one video worth watching a second time, outside of torture methodology or neurological testing. I raise my glass to these young women of the night, they are unique "singers" - queens of kiddie porn lite, in all fairness to them - the women do their best to give every five year old kid they meet an early entrance into puberty. Here's looking at you kids! 

No but seriously, they all need to retire.

If these people so called sold there souls to Satan to become famous, then he should at least be able to inspire better music than this...
