MMVA08: Done Like Dinnah! (And It Was Good)

June 16th, 2008

MMVA08: c’est fini. Il es kaputo. Je ne souviens the french speak. And judging by the hour break I just took after writing that poor excuse for an intro, I am still recovering. And judging by the 7 minute break I just took after THAT sentence, I need more sleep.

Rain! Lightning! Famouser people than you! RAIN! Ziplines! Collabos! Fierceness combined with rain! You get it. Last night’s festivities made me feel special inside (plus a stiff neck and internal freezing due to rain soakage), and hopefully it gave you warm fuzzies too (but not the soreness and soakage .. unless you were here, in which case you definitely got drenched. On behalf of the weather, I apologize).

To highlight some of the best (or worst) MMVA mo’s, here are my impromptu awards:

Best Villain – the rain. For serious. Who cares about the paltry lightning, the rain during the red carpet was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. Grape size!!

Weirdest, Yet Oddly Enjoyable Collabo – Simple Plan rocking out the end of Flo Rida’s “Low” performance. Holla at Flo for flying onto the stage with a zipline, too.

The Right Stuff Award – NKOTB, for pulling out the “Right Stuff” dance. How amazing would it have been if they did the “Step By Step” upsy downsy stair dance?

Sauciest Cheeky Monkeys – Girlicious. Too bad the audio was wack – their choreography was tight.

Best Dance Moves – Melanie C’s running man when she presented an award. Anybody who does that in heels deserves some props. Especially when the “anybody” is somebody who spent 7 years in sneakers.

Too Bad You Missed Rehearsal – Akon. When your chorus starts, mic goes to mouth.

Unexpectedly Cutest – Brody Jenner. I never saw it before. Honourable Mention: Joey Joe McIntyre (I was always a Donnie chick)

Anyway, today is Day One in the approximately 364 day countdown til next year. But we’ve got a few little awesome-filled fun bites to keep you entertained for now (ahem):

* Watch the whole show from front to back and back to front and side to side. It’s like a dance, but with less moving. Kind of like the Rockaway (lean back, lean back).

* That includes the torrential downpour red carpet show, btw.

* That also includes a couple clips from the rambunctious and awesome Aftermath show.

* And then you should look at our photos. We worked hard in the rain with anvils on our back.

* And – oh yeah – this is an awards show??? Hehe. Check out the list of all the winners.

* Plus, we captured all of the MMV-haaaaay action on our blog! Here are the highlights:
