Snaps

B & L would like to give "Snaps" to a few well deserving entertainers after last night's VMAs.

Madonna started the show when she gave a heartfelt introduction to Michael Jackson's tribute. After her introduction there were clips of some of Jackson's most memorable music videos with corresponding choreography. After several videos, Janet Jackson came out and did an unbelievable performance of "Scream" where she actually imitated her brother's dance moves while the music video of "Scream" performed above showing Micheal doing the same moves. The tribute ended when Janet struck her pose and on the screen above there was a snapshot of Michael and Janet side by side in the "Scream" video.

Britney Spears won Best Pop Video for "Womanizer". Unfortunately she did not attend the VMAs but did an acceptance speech via satellite. She was in one of her costumes for The Circus surrounded by her dancers. By the end of the short speech everyone, including Britney, was dancing due to the excitement of winning a Moonman.

Lady Gaga not only won Best New Artist but performed a jaw dropping number that included a couple lines from "Poker Face" before bursting into "Paparazzi". Needless to say Lady Gaga's performance was completely original and absolutely crazy - but did you expect anything less from Gaga?

Pink performed "Sober" while suspended above the crowd and doing aerial stunts.

Beyoncé brought Taylor Swift on stage after Beyoncé won Best Video of the Year so Swift could finish giving her acceptance speech for Best Female Video after Kanye West rudely interrupted Swift's original speech when he stormed the stage, took the microphone from Swift and proceeded to rant that Beyoncé's video was better earlier in the show.

The VMAs totally stepped it up this year and put on an entertaining award show that many could enjoy.
