Fergie opens the 2007 MMVAs with a performance
It's 9pm ET and the show is live! If you're not watching it live on TV, be sure to tune in to the live feed on MuchAXS!
9:00pm - Fergie is opening the show with a sweet performance of Big Girls Don't Cry! She sounds pretty good! She just tore her hoodie off and revealed a sexay outfit underneath, and is now doing a medley of Fergalicious!
9:06pm - Here come the opening credits!
9:08pm - Alexisonfire are performing on the John Street stage. Wow, they sound incredible! I photographed these guys two MMVAs ago on this very stage and it was a total rush. How amazing does their stage setup look? And the Toronto skyline...wow. It's already dark, too. This is getting better and better. Wow...crowd surfing AND confetti. I'm on the fifth floor of the CHUM building right now and TONS of confetti is flying by my window!!!!
9:13pm - Avril Lavigne just won the MMVA for Best International Video By A Canadian for Girlfriend. Yay!
9:20pm - Matte's introducing Avril again, to present an award! MuchMoreMusic Award...the winner is...Nickelback!
9:24pm - Here's Belly's performance, featuring Ginuwine. Belly DID promise that this would be the performance of the EVENING. So watch and see! So far so good...sexy dancers...gaggles of female onlookers...string section...now they're heading outside and they have a choir clad in white singing along!
9:33pm - Oh here comes Hedley again with their blowup doll! Nice, we just got a shot of a guy's butt - must be Jacob's standin since he's not around to moon the crowd like he usually does. Nadine, MMVA SuperSTAR winner, just introduced Finger Eleven, who are performing on the rooftop - it's the first time this has ever happened. Wowee, it looks RIDICULOUS!
9:43pm - Um. Perez Hilton is wearing a poncho. I don't know what else to say about that!
9:57pm - Wow, you guys are enthusiastic commenters! I missed a few minutes of recaps just now cause I was busy catching up on approving your comments. We've had to shut down comments till the end of the show unfortunately - please keep reading/refreshing, and we will continue our discussion in the comments after the show :)
In the meantime - The Used are performing right now. That song that scares me The Bird & The Worm, I believe it's called.
ALSO - earlier today, I forgot to mention that Ben of Billy Talent and I had an in-depth discussion about the show Lost. He described himself as a 'borderline obsessive' Lost fan. Heh. And I just walked by one of the offices and saw him rocking out on Guitar Hero 2. Cool!!
10:09pm - Amber Tamblyn is throwing to Hilary Duff! This should be good...With Love....nice trenchcoats. Wow, Hilary looks smokin' hot! Kyle's sitting beside me and his jaw is agape.
10:15pm - Best Rap Video Award...the winner is: Belly! Nice, first win of the night for him! I wonder if there will be more...
10:23pm - Jay Manuel is here to present People's Choice - Favourite Canadian Artist, and it goes to...Avril Lavigne!!! And she is in tears! Holy emotional. She's SUPER happy :)
10:27pm - Joss Stone just introduced Maroon 5, who are performing on the John Street stage. I don't need to reiterate what has already been said: Adam Levine is sexay!!! They sound great!
10:33pm - Fan favourites Marianas Trench are presenting the award for People's Choice Award - Favourite International Group...and the winner is My Chemical Romance! Congrats AGAIN MCR!
10:37pm - Tara Reid seems a bit subdued. Like, almost as if she's...under the influence. OK...Billy Talent are about to perform! Yesss!
10:43pm - Hilary Duff just won People's Choice Award - Favourite International Artist! I can't stress how great "Hils" looks. Oh look, Leah and Hilary are having a lovefest on stage. They're totally bff.
10:45pm - Sam Roberts is presenting People's Choice Award - Favourite Canadian Group. The winner is...Billy Talent! The guys seem kinda shocked! oooh Ian is hurling confetti into the audience! Ben says "THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!" Indeed!
10:51 - Wow, we're in the home stretch! Only nine minutes remaining! Fergie is presenting the award for Best Video! And the winner is...Billy Talent!
10:53 - SUM 41 are on stage, and guess who they're introducing? Deryck just said it! Mrs. Whibley...aww, so cute! Will Avril drop an f-bomb? Ohhh...she said "mothereffing". Good girl, Avril!
10:59pm - And that's a wrap! Watch the MMVAs again right now, OR watch choice clips on MuchAXS soon-ish.

I love watching the mmvas every year at home but this year the sound SUCKS!!! it sounds like we're hearing everything through a tunnel. even before you guys cut to commercial we can barely hear what people are singing because of the echo!!!
Posted by: shannon at June 17, 2007 09:27 PM
Terrible audio. Fire the sound engineer that's running the show..
Posted by: Tim at June 17, 2007 09:31 PM

Congratulations to Nickelback! That makes me very happy. I hope they will win another one. Keep my fingers crossed :D

what's Finger Eleven performing???
Posted by: ahh at June 17, 2007 09:45 PM
Belly's video is a waste of time... the Point Blank video deserved to win for Best Rap.
At least we don't have to ever hear from mr. beer gut again -- sounds like Kardinall's aldum will be HUGE... and we can expect him to win next year's Best Rap Video award.
Posted by: BC at June 17, 2007 10:44 PM
So I love Leah but if she calls someone sweetheart once more on stage i swear i'll jump.
Posted by: courteney at June 17, 2007 10:46 PM

Posted by: tom at June 17, 2007 10:49 PM

Fishy Award Results?
Did anyone else find it weird that both Fergie and Hilary Duff won awards tonight? In the categories that they were in I really really didn�t feel they deserved the awards over some of the competition. ESPECIALLY Hilary duff (whose performance was awful - do you really need to lip sync when your hardly moving around the stage?) I just really felt they were only given the awards because they were there. I mean Hilary duff's popularity versus Justin Timberlake for...seriously it just felt like a big rip. Meh could just be me.

^^ I thought it was great the Fergie and Hilary won awards. And personally loved HILARY'S performance. I didn't think she lip-synched because in the chorus there were vocal changes in pitch and tone and what not and she actually did dance. And also note people LOVE her new song With Love......As for Fergie her perfromance was amazinggggggg and I thought the video for Fergalicious was AMAZING and creative so I think she should've won...
Posted by: Khizer at June 17, 2007 11:27 PM
Chantelle...maybe Hilary won because she has better fans. And mayeb Hilary won because SHE PROMOTED IT. Her myspace, iTunes podcast, and offical website protmoting it as well as her HUGE fansites like oh-hilary.com, hilarynews.com, hilaryduff.net and even perezhilton.com. It was a no brainer that she won.
You might have hated her performance but I think it was one of the hottest of the night. Did you see the crowd? They loved it.
Posted by: Anna at June 17, 2007 11:36 PM
I just re-watched her performance and it was totally live and amazinngggg! The only thing that was kinda off was the cameras at the end of the song where she break dances....You couldn't see much of her but she looked amazingg in that perfromance!
Posted by: Khizer at June 17, 2007 11:43 PM
the rockbands rock the whole toronto.. omg i wish i was there.. but i am in quebec,i dont want to spend a lot just to watch it... but i want to watch how alexisonfire, billy talent and maroon 5 perform and rock the stage...
FERGIE owns, too. she made me cry coz of her song.. i love that..
to hilary, omg you are trying hard to be an actress.. go home and find a life..
i lvoe you avril, i wish you marry me instead of him ^_^

did you guys see hilary give the middle finger during her performance near the end where she's walking back the stage? i swear i saw her middle finger go up. lol
Posted by: Drew at June 18, 2007 02:19 AM
Her voice sounded too polished to me. I could be wrong. But she sounded like she was lip syncing...like she always does. I'm not against Fergie winning really. I just felt there were some artists who had more hits but again I have nothing against Fergie. Hilary on the other hand...I don't get that one. Sure her album may have done well but there were others (ie Justin Tinberlake) who deserved it more. But Much Music treats her like a Goddess so w/e.
Lol Drew I doubt she did.
Posted by: Chantelle at June 18, 2007 05:50 AM
MuchMusic and the Junos have no backbone!
Rap category is a complete joke every year. Wtf does a suit know about this genre of music, nothing...next year stay in ya lane.

I am super disappointed that the Independent Video nominees got zero exposure :-( We need to support up and coming Canadian talent and not just "fergalicious."

THE USED FRIGIN' ROCKS!!! OBSESSED WITH THEM!!! I LOVE JEPH HOWARD TOO! <3
P.S.: GET LIES FOR THE LIARS!!!
