I'd like to brake a lance to the fact that those VMA's might not be the best choice for a review, as you can hardly review the actual "performance" of who won what in which category. This is all subject to personal taste, and money, and who paid for what award That would be like reviewing the Acadamy Arwards ceremony over who won what, and this would lead to an absolute subjective and thus pointless review. That being said, I don't give a damn about who won what this night.
I want to review this from the standpoint of an entertaining overall broadcast. And boy, did Lady Gaga open this show with a stunning performance.
Which goes hand in hand with an incredible well thought producing. Having herself dress as a man with a self-deprecating monologue, collapsing in a great musical performance including Bernie May, Gaga slipping of the piano, dancing, great editing and a great sound for a live performance, is everything you can wish for your casual award evening.
Credits go to director Hamish Hamilton, which I - to leave a neutral review - admit to adore as a live director, and who captures all this in his usual effortless and entertaining way. Especially the following act by Adele struck my search pattern on Youtube several times. The heartwarming song "Someone Like You" captured in a one-shot, wide-angle, dead-slow-moving Steadicam-shot is a second to non venture on an award show like this.
Every other director would probably have cut this performance to bits and pieces with close-ups and stuff. And that is a rare good nowadays, Award-Show or not. On paper, it probably looked great: Lady Gaga, the pop diva du jour , presenting an achievement award to Britney Spears, the pop diva du decade.
But Gaga was still in drag, and Spears seemed a bit flustered by the whole event. Intriguingly, this was the first time Spears attended the VMAs since For a second, it seemed like Britney and Gaga were going to kiss, thus continuing the cycle begun when Madonna smooched Britney in Readers, what did you think of the show? Do you feel confident that you now know who Tyler, The Creator is?
And is there anybody you think should host next year? My vote is for Rick Ross. But only if he finds time for a painting lesson.
