This old lady decided to watch the VMA's

Since Irene allowed me to catch up on everything on my DVR, I am watching the VMA's live. And I decided to watch because with the year of Adele and Gaga, surprise JayZ / Kanye performance and maybe some fun Beyonce / Katy Perry, the old lady felt like she actually knew enough of the performers. And I have to admit I had to see how MTV was going to give a tribute to Britney Spears.

Gaga opens the show looking like Pony Boy from the Outsiders (was that Ralph Macchio because that is who I mean). Weird monologue to open, but the performance was great. Simple reason why -- she is actually singing, live and well. Shocker! (Not a Gaga shocker, but a VMA shocker).

No host this year is a HUGE plus for me. But then someone named Kevin came out - I don't know who he is, but his stand up was terrible. Made me want to fast forward but I was watching live. Uggh.

Really, Britney beats Adele and Katy Perry for best Pop Video? Well these awards don't actually mean anything anyway since MTV doesn't actually play videos. Why isn't Amber from Teen Mom getting an award?

Jessie J from the "house band" is wearing a huge cast boot on her foot. That stinks. You get this opportunity and you have to just sit there. Well her voice is good.

Brad Pitt movie looks good -- wow he is a Robert Redford look a like - especially with the wrinkles now.

Now I finally know what song Nicky Minaj sings. They don't play that song in Nashville. Uh oh, I liked the Footloose trailer. Problem.

Jay Z and Kanye perform -- not a great performance, but I love the album so I was just psyched to see something from it. Yup, have been listening to this album a lot. I know, seems out of my zone, but I got both country and hip hop are from the people.

Katy Perry needs to stop wearing costumes and wear fashion.

Paul Rudd did a fun bit with some big rapper guy that I have never heard of. It was funny but I felt dumb because i don't know him. They introduced Pitbull / Neyo and some woman that was wearing a nude stocking that I did not recognize. I like Neyo. I forgot. Kim Kardashian was singing along in the audience. Uggh can't stand her.

Katy comes out in a purple lace gown but it is still tacky tacky. Wow her waist is teeny. Introduces Adele. I can't believe this woman is only 21. What an old soul. My favorite song. Someone Like You. She is so gorgeous and her voice is just amazing. I love her.

Uggh Kim Kardashian comes out. Blecch. Blah blah blah male video. Bieber won over Kanye, Eminem and Bruno Mars? Blecch.

Thank god Joe Jonas and Victorious girl came out after that. Seeing them made me feel better about Bieber's win.

Time for a Chris Brown dance off! Any punching moves planned in the choreography? Kanye is standing for this. Isn't he Rihanna's friend? Is this his third or fourth shot to try to make a comeback? This is better than Spiderman. Which I did not see, but I assume.

Gaga does tribute to Britney -- well gives the speech. Little girls get up and do a dance tribute to her. Very cute. Are we about to see another kiss on MTV? Britney is really tall next to Gaga. So no, kiss. But a simple thank you and an intro to Beyonce. Who announced on the carpet that she is preggers. Pop Rap royalty. So no major dance number expected. But she really sang it out. And then exposed the belly. Kanye was super happy for his man Jay. It was a nice family moment.

Someone I don't know wins Best New Artist. I probably never will. And then a band called Young the Giant performs and I don't know them either. But they are jumping up an down and having fun, so that's cool. And the lead singer is Indian -- go Sameer Gadhia! (Thanks Google!)

Jersey Shore ladies come out and look freakish - tan, colors, sparkles and fake boobs. Crazy. This Gaga / Jo Calderone thing is geting old. Gaga wins female video for Born This Way and gives her "It Gets Better Speech." She is nuts.

DID YOU SEE PREVIEW FOR NEW RYAN MURPHY SHOW WITH DYLAN MCDERMOTT AND CONNIE BRITTON CALLED AMERICAN HORROR STORY? So intrigued!!

Russell Brand just read the blog he put out after Amy Winehouse died. It's a little weird since I read it a while ago. Tony Bennett comes out to pay tribute. He and Amy had just recorded a duet. She looks great while recording that. Bruno comes out to do Valerie. Great choice.

Saw preview for a movie Gwyneth dies in - I can watch that.

Katy Perry wins Video of the Year with Firework. I can see that. She is wearing a box on her head. Then L'il Wayne performs and I turn off the TV. Yikes, that was scary! Old lady needs to go to bed.

Don't be ashamed of your obsessions, or not caring about L'il Wayne.
