a childhood dream

raise your hand if you spent sunday night watching the VMA’s!
*virtually raises hand*

i live for award show season. i love everything about it. the gorgeous gowns, the weird antics, and the television-worthy moments. oh and the awards, i guess. the VMA’s are one of my favorite award shows because i usually know pretty much every nominee and why they’re nominated. (things get a little messy with the golden globes and such because i don’t tend to see many of the movies that get nominated). anyway, the VMA’s this year may have been one of my favorites. mostly because it’s where NSYNC reunited and Justin Timberlake blew my mind. i mean, honestly, the man can do no wrong. his performance made the whole show worth it. if you haven’t seen it, you should look it up and watch it.

that moment when all my childhood dreams came true. again.

in other news, Miley Cyrus has officially lost her mind. i always kind of knew she was wild and a little bit crazy, but she’s up there with Amanda Bynes and bald-headed Britney now. during her performance, Mike made this declaration: “if I had kids and they were watching this, I would turn it off”. i kinda totally wish that Robin Thicke performed without her. the less time with her in the spotlight, the better. i fast-forwarded through Gaga’s performance (she just weirds me out and i don’t like any of her music) and thought Kanye’s was pretty boring. i really wish he would’ve brought his baby and debuted her. THAT would have been good television.

i love Bruno Mars but secretly wish he would’ve done “Treasure” (because i can’t get enough of that song) but enjoyed his performance nonetheless. Macklemore was entertaining and i was happy for him that he won a few awards. it always cracks me up when i see him because his voice/sound does not match his look at all, but i like it.

oh, and i liked Katy Perry’s performance! i really like her new song and like her much more after watching her documentary on Netflix (hello, how i usually spend my Friday nights).

my favorite moment, though, was probably when Taylor swift was caught on camera speaking some profanities while her ex was announcing an award. nice move, Tay Tay.

    Oh my word!!! You were dead on with me on every comment! I love the awards show too, but Miley ruined the beginning for all of us. That was a train wreck. …and sad at the same time. FYI…love your blog and rarely comment but had to agree with you!

    I love love love Bruno! I'm so glad he did Gorilla, it's one of the best on his album. I just had the pleasure of seeing him last week in Nashville & he is awesome in person. And so is his band!
