VMA's

So last night was the MTV Music Awards which included a host of interesting performances with most of the artists trying to out do one another from what they wore to how they dazzled the crowds during their performances.


The internet has been talking for weeks it seems trying to figure out what Lady Gaga was going to be wearing for the VMA award show but this year her "little monsters" didn't get Lady Gaga they got a guy names Jo Calderone for the entire night. Gaga didn't break character once.

International Business Times reports,
Gaga was no lady at MTV's 2011 Video Music Awards (VMAs) Sunday night. Dressed in a dirty white T-shirt, black pants, boots and a pompadour a la John Travolta in "Grease," Lady Gaga shocked yet again, kicking off the show in drag.
"Hey. My name is Jo Calderone and I was an a-hole," Gaga yelled, opening the awards show with a monologue. "Gaga? Yeah her. Lady Gaga. She left me. She said it always starts out good and then the guys, meaning me, I'm one of the guys, we get crazy. I did. I got crazy, but she's f---ing crazy too, right?"
After the opening monologue, Calderone (aka Lady Gaga) jumped onto a piano bench and began belting "Yoü and I," with rock legend Brian May of Queen.
Calderone danced around the stage with a group of male lookalikes before climbing on the piano and spraying the front row of the audience with beer.



Nicki Minaj sported a very interesting outfit. I can't really describe what you would call the outfit she had on. All I know is that it looked like she was sick with that face mask on and was dragging some sort of stuff animal around all night.

MTV.com reports it as,
"channeling her Harajuku Barbie alter ego in an outfit that could only be described as eclectic. Minaj layered a shiny, structural purple bodice with a frothy tutu under-pinning. Accessories ran the gamut from a chunky, soft-serve ice cream necklace to layers of cartoon-covered socks, leg warmers and slippers. She topped off the look with a Japanese face mask and a mop of blond, red, yellow and orange locks."


Other highlights from the evening included the Beyonce baby announcement. After the performance of one of her latest singles, she dropped the mic and made the reveal to the world. (fast forward to 4:20)

Aside from the Beyonce announcement I thought Chris Brown did his thing. If there is one thing I can say about Chris Brown it is that he can sure dance.



So what did you all think about the show? Was it your cup of tea or not?
