- Fill in the blank: Kanye West was ________ during the VMA’s.
You ready for J.Bakes’ and Steely D’s (me) snark? You better be, because it’s on and zesty! Relive all of MTV’s VideoMusicAward glory, through a flurry of our tweets. Think it’s fair to say that this year’s VMA’s MIGHT make up for the last SIX YEARS OF MEDIOCRITY? YOU BE THE JUDGE!

–wait. So Madonna are you saying that your mother dying is the reason why u are collecting African orphans? = WIN/FAIL (the jury’s out, kids needs homes, but so do the ones in that suburban Michigan hometown she mentioned)
we definitely vote NO.
–J.Lo its the dress or the sleeves….pick one. and stop impersonating Shera? = FAIL
–man of the hour is “Joe Jackson?” word? ugh… = obvious FAIL

–Bey, Katy, GaGa are a little upset right now. But Kanye, I don’t think Bey needs your help boo. Ye Kanye owes Taylor MAJOR apology. = show-stopping, getting escorted out of the show FAIL
–Justin Beiber is the cutest little girl = epic WIN for teenage girls everywhere- but this doesn’t discount the weirdness of his likeness to Shane from “The L Word”
Remind you of Madge's "Vogue" or "Like A Virgin" performance?
–Lady Gaga is single-handedly keeping the entire New York trimmings industry in business. wait, i dont understand the wheelchair, the paps killed her? am I smart enough for this performance? still… performance art = WIN
–RT @thashadow: RT @KingFame: RT: @MissBridge All- Kanye was just escorted out of the VMAs – wow!!!! [of course he was] = WIN (for Taylor), FAIL for Yeezy
-love how Nelly Furtado always has to remind you that she is Latin…since her debut marketing team did a great job at making us forget = cultural FAIL

A true lady, Tina and Matthew must be so proud. We know we are!
–Bey’s taking us to church w/ “Single Ladies!” why’s the hand thing so fun…Beyonce is the patron saint of bikini waxers everywhere = WIN
–ranting aside, Kanye’s new cut makes him look like he has burn scabs on his head. = ew FAIL

-Russel Brand calling lady gaga “an eskimo!!!” = hilarious WIN
–kanye is somewhere thanking GOD for LilMama right now [yeah, don’t think she saved him for the on-coming witch hunt for his head by middle America tho…] = smh FAIL
TALLY:
WINS = 12
FAILS = 12
TOSSES = 3
Overall, Beyonce, Gaga were best in show, however Green Day gets a pass for being 100 years old and still going. Ultimately, this was a FANTASTIC step up from the last six years of VMA’s where we couldn’t even be bother to liveblog/tweet. Go VIACOM/THE MAN!
