#20- Janet Jackson was the most anticipated guest of the night. After a Michael Jackson song  and dance medley including hits like Beat It and Smooth Operator, 2 classics that set the foundation for Michael Jackson’s signature dance moves along with Billie Jean, Janet came out on time and in line to replicate the same moves of her big brother in perfect sync  against the back screen. She didn’t miss a move., has dropped at least 10 pounds since her appearance during her late brother’s funeral and looked just as did when she started her Control Tour. It is clear that Janet is prepared to live on her brother’s legacy and take off on her own comeback as expected by her millions of fans and new fans who had never seen a female artist command the stage like Janet.  Many of the stars screamed just as loud as her fans without shame. Baby Janet did her thing, and remarkably does not do the same moves as Michael at all. She has her own signature dance moves. Janet could take over if she wanted to.

#19- Madonna- A music icon in her own right  who exceeded expectations as  America’s Materialistic girl by default, Madonna  appeared with a defiant 50 year old youthful and regal appearance. She shared many commonalities between herself and Michael such as having 8 brothers and sisters, but one thing she said was different was that she had a childhood. Michael shared he did not on a date with Madonna that resulted in MJ throwing his shades out a window to reveal his eyes at Madonna’s request. She apologized on behalf of many who failed to reach out when Michael gave signs he was in trouble, but I don’t think Madonna should have blamed all on herself or the fans or the world. Every celebrity is responsible for one’s own decisions in life and that is the hand of fate you are dealt upon making those decisions. The world owes you nothing when you mess it up so  one needs to take control of their own lives. However, it was very gracious for Madonna to place the blame on herself.

#18- Lady Gaga’s dress attire and antics on stage overwhelmed her talent as a musician and instrumentalist. Coming out on the stage in underwear and pulling one’s own plug to become a bloody mess was too graphic for kids watching the VMA’s for the first time . Killing oneself to get the paps to like you won’t help and wearing barely nothing to prove you are a woman is like falling into the hands of  media who won’t quit until you are dead. Okay, I get it, that was the point of the performance.  My bad.

 

DELETED BY REQUEST FROM COMMUNITY.

 

 

#17-  Solange Knowles- She recently cut off her natural hair  and who knew Solange was so pretty under all of  that overpowering hair. She certainly has her own look now and eventhough the singer, actress and entrepreneur with her own ABC JAMZ patented learning game could wear long or short hair if she chooses to. Solange is showing you can be feminine and stylish with or without hair and beauty is all in how you feel inside.  I believe that was her voice singing along with Wale for the show transitions and I am sure there is more to come from this artist who I think didn’t get her fair share for a very decent album, but maybe two songs that should have been saved for a different album in my opinion.

#16- Kanye West and Amber Rose- Kanye West looked ultra cool and maybe that’s why he stayed on stage just a little bit longer. Notice how he showed his flashy hair cut from both angles while  stealing the spotlight from Taylor. I knwo puppy love when I see it. I think Kanye would drop Amber in a minute for Taylor.  I won’t be surprised if everyone gets his swirled out look. As far as Amber Rose,  her figure is a lot like mine so if you got it flaunt it. She gets props for starting a short hair revolution. All of these female celebs are shaving off their heads and doing all they can to get Kanye’s attention  and still asking what does Amber have that they don’t have. One thing Kanye does have is a bottle of alcohol in his hand and let’s just see who comes out and provides intervention.  Kanye is going to find out who his real friends are. Thus far, I have only seen Russell Simmons say something nice on Twitter.  A very humble giant who can forgive teaches tolerance when these artists just lose it at times.  Could be sleep deprivation or anxiety. If this isn’t an absolute crying out for help than I don’t know what is.  This kid is way too talented for shock therapy as Obama voluntered to call him a jackass liek any father  figure would to brush off the severity of the situation with humor. Barack may have saved Kanye by displacing the most verbal  whipping on him for all media . I mean that just took the cake. And as disrespectful as Kanye can be he would never disrespect President Barack Obama. If he goes there his career is over.  He’s not too grown for a father figure.  

#15- Jay Z, Alicia Keys and Lil Mama too!

 

Oh no Lil Mama didn’t crash the VMA’s and come up on stage  at the end of Jay Z’s performance with Alicia Keys because she felt an odl school connection as a New Yorker. That’s the conversation people are pumping in media like they need  gas for a moped. Our resources claim that Lil Mama was told to go on stage at the end and that Jay Z wouldn’t mind. Notice how the pose was so on time like she knew what was up, but for some  reason she got shunned by the incident and decided to apologize for the backlash.  Folks don’t want tobelieve that Alicia Keys and Jay Z were mad at the long time fan. After all, on twitter the celebs are fans of each other  and find comfort talking to each other, but I guess if you aren’t living in Beverly Hills you aren’t worthy of their conversation. So for all of the folks who love Lil Mama as a dies hard New Yorker, they may find confort in holding back buying an album that should have sold 1 million copies 1st day, but  only sold 495,000 which is commendable, but low for someone like Jay Z. You mean to tell me with over 20 million viewers of shows like the VMA’s jay only got half a mil in sales and u know most were in New York. Jay may want to embrace Lil mama and get her other 500,000 plus fans sales. She’s a girl and young. She’s not a criminal or  thug. You heard her.She’s the voice of the young nation.  Just messing with folks because the pic of all three of them is cute. Lil Mama needs to take this kind of humility artists experience on the way to the top, get stronger and just take over.  I have never purchased a Rihanna album although some of her fashions are the biz, but I have downloaded an ITUNE of Lil mama’s. That’s saying a whole lot. Her songs may be silly to serious, but I’m a New Yorker so I am going to relate to ther music no matter what just like the kids! It will be funny as hell if she heads up the VMA’s one year as a host. Never say never.

#14-  Nelly Furtado is supposed to rejoining Timberlake. For a moment I thought she had left the scene, but it is clear that  Nelly is not only back, but creating trends in fashion to watch.  The hair do returns glamour to the game and very Hepburnish. Who knows the Nelly look may take off.

 

#13- Jimmy Falon is kind of funny and did his thing, but when he hosted the Emmys this evening he really was funny as hell on that vocoder; and proving anyone can sing with this machine which beats lip synching.

#12- Alicia Keys continues to have longevity in the game as well as surprise folks with her sense of style which gets better and better each time she appears at a red carpet event. I don’t doubt that Alicia Keys will launch her own clothing line. I predict it will be called  A. Keys.  Someone asked me what is my favorite Alicia Keys song and that’s a tough one, but I would have to say Superwoman.

#11- Cassie has been making headlines for everything lately from someone hacking into her personal computer and releasing nude pics to all major media to shaving off the side of her head and setting off a new trend.  Now a new track is spinning on the radio with a long intro by Diddy that I won’t lie, I turn the song down until Cassie’s part arrives.  It looks like she has a hit  that is sufficient enough for her to lay off any more publicity stunts and it’s not that I don’t want to hear Diddy, but like he’s on all of his artist’s best  tracks. What’s up with that. “It Must Be Love!” That is the name of the track.  In all seriousness,  Diddy needs to make his own album. 

#10-  Shakira may look like the girl next door, but right now there isn’t a single artist who can out dance her. Like a gymnast in her racy videos, we already know that this Latin artist is going to be around for a lifetime.  She stole the red carpet with simplicity and effortless style.

#9 Keri Hilson- Keri wasn’t a presenter or honoree for the night which is pretty strange, but she still won points for the best styled diva on the red carpet of the night with this simple jumpsuit  and classic  zip down barely exposing any skin at all and just as sexy as all the other revealing outfits won by presenters. It’s official, covering up is the new sexy. We aew going to end this countdown with Keri on the Top Pages of Disilgold.com for the next few days because    we are routing for Keri to win a few VMA’s next year!

 #8 Beyonce- Exposing all because when you’re hot you’re hot, Beyonce never disappoints with consistent flair for do or die showmanship and why she’s the 80 million dollar lady approaching 1 billion very soon.  Jay Z better watch out.
