8 Reasons Why PCD Shouldn’t Win Their 8 VMA Categories

August 22nd, 2008

Is anybody else surprised about the Pussycat Dolls domination of the VMA nominations? Not that it matters, but they haven’t even released their album yet – which, by the way, is called Doll Domination. Ohhh, we see what you’re doing here, Pussycat PR geniuses. I can imagine the post-awards headlines: PUSSYCAT DOLLS DOMINATE VMAs (buy their album Doll Domination on September 28!). You sneaky devils. This could be the cheekiest marketing plan of the week.

PCD trail Britney by one nomination for the lead: le Spears clocks in at nine, whereas the hot trannies have eight – and they shouldn’t win any of them. But Wait, don’t get me wrong – I have an unhealthy love for PCD; my ringtone collection includes “I Don’t Need A Man” and “Beep”, and if I could magically transform into a superior human, I might choose Nicole Scherzinger. But if this awards ceremony is truly down for awarding the most influential, resonating, memorable videos of the year … will you remember “When I Grow Up” in 2010? How about next month? Anyway, here’s why I think they shouldn’t go home with any moonmen:

1. “When I Grow Up” hasn’t even topped the charts – it maxed out at #9.

2. Britney Spears, with all her pop influence throughout the past decade, has yet to win a VMA. The girl deserves some sympathy wins. So if it comes down to Brit and PCD? Brit every time. Well, except for Best Choreography. Brit kind of phoned in “Gimme More”.

3. In the Best Direction category, they’re up against Coldplay. Coldplay wins.

4. Video of the Year? REALLY?! Not that I agree with any of the choices, but they should probably go with Jonas Brothers. This was truly the year of the JoBros.

5. Best Art Direction? Aren’t they in the street? Call me ignorant but have you SEEN Kanye’s “Homecoming” or Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”?

6. I get the suspicious feeling that the mob was involved with these nominations. Cheaters never win. I mean, they do.. but then they should feel bad about it.

7. Ok, so maybe they could win the Best Dancing category. I’ll give them that. Although…. Chris Brown is kind of superior.

8. Will “When I Grow Up” define 2008? No. And in the end, winners should be the jerks who shaped a year of music. I bet Kanye’s pretty bummed that he’s not on this list more…
