Guest croweater Report post Posted July 28, 2004 That's just awful. None of the video clips are original, God, most of them are barely watchable. Outkast will win for "Hey ya" Christina Aguilera, "The Voice Within" should win in its categories (It's a friggin' beautiful one take clip) Apart from that and possibly The White Stripes clip, none of the recipients will be even remotely deserving. Jet???? PLEASE! They stand there and play the ENTIRE CLIP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 It IS music, but I'm one of the very few here who likes mainstream stuff so whatever. "Yeah," despite being a great song, is not a VOTY candidate. It'd be between Jay-Z and Outkast for me. They're complete opposites, so it's difficult to compare and see which one I like better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 I don't have a problem at all with most mainstream music...i'm not going to be like everyone else and list a bunch of bands that no one but them has heard of yet they proclaim them to be "the greatest bands ever!" when we do one of those stupid threads...hell, Dr. Dre's The Chronic and GNRs Appetite are on my all-time top 5 list and it didn't get more mainstream at the time of their release than that... Besides, I usually watch the awards because 9 times out of 10 SOMETHING interesting happens whether it be the opening comedy act (Chris Rock is usually solid) or a musical act (GNR's surprise appearance)...so yeah I'll be watching it...as for predictions, anything by Outkast, Jay-Z or Beyonce will win the main categories because MTV has been pimping those acts hard all year round on all channels...

I quite like most mainstream stuff, if not brilliant it's generally easy to listen to. My problem is that all of these videos are just so...... plain and crappy and generik. was the Junior/Senior "move your feet" is the best clip I've seen for a while. But I don't know if it was this year. that and it's not very MTV like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't know if it was this year. that and it's not very MTV like. that's funny because I was thinking about Junior/Senior as well while going through the more obscure categories...the video was pretty cool, the song is very catchy and their CD actually is pretty decent...they came out last summer so it should be in the same year as all the other videos nominated...hell i thought Get Low came out in 2002!

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 28, 2004 I don't dislike stuff because it's mainstream. I dislike MTV because they still have "video awards" when their rotation is slim, and the majority of their airtime is countdowns and reality tv. I don't care what anyone says, that station showcases celebrity, not music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 im not sure if that's a true statement though, AoO...MTV2 still plays mostly videos, though more shows are showing up on it and then there's that MTV Hits channel that shows nothing BUT videos (though mostly mainstream stuff)...im not sure if everyone gets MTV Hits, but if BFE Nebraska does, then surely everyone else does...

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 28, 2004 The fact that they've created branch off sub-stations that not all providers even carry reinforces my point. It's an afterthought, like "oh yeah, we used to do this...umm..here." My "commercial" quip was mainly me being snarky, but it's a valid argument that the 2 minute clips of video and sound and shiny things are there solely to sell something.

Guest Dids Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Video Of The Year Britney Spears, "Toxic" - I don't care about the fact that the other songs were better. This video was hot and about the only thing worth watching on MTV that wasn't The Real World. Best Male Video Jay-Z, "99 Problems" - best song of the year, plus Rick Rubin is a pimp. Best Female Video Beyoncé, "Naughty Girl" - I gave Britney one, I'll I'll give this one to the second hottest video of the year. Best Group Video D12, "My Band" - not only is this good, but the rest of the bands lick donkey cock. Best Rap Video Jay-Z, "99 Problems" - see above Best R&B Video FUCK YOU. Best Hip-Hop Video Dear MTV, Having seperate "rap" and "hip-hop" videos shows a fantastic misunderstanding of hip-hop culture. Please go fuck yourself. Love, Dids. Best Dance Video Usher featuring Lil Jon & Ludacris, "Yeah!" - because it's a DOPE dance song. Best Rock Video Hoobastank, "The Reason" - I confess to kinda liking this video, and the song doesn't make me want to tear my ears off. That said, if that list was what passes for rock, you rock fans have it worse than us hip-hop heads. Best Pop Video Isn't everything on every list here pop music? Best New Artist In A Video Kanye West featuring Syleena Johnson, "All Falls Down" - in typical MTV fasion, Kanye- who's been around for years is "new". LICK GOAT BALLS MTV. MTV2 Award Twista featuring Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, "Slow Jamz" Modest Mouse, "Float On" - tie, because a love the first song, and I saw one of Modest Mouses first shows and find it weird that they're on fucking MTV now. Best Choreography In A Video -that list omitted the tit twisty thingy from Toxic, which is the best choreography in years. Breakthrough Video -AKA best video that we decided would breakthrough. I WILL SKULLFUCK YOU MTV. Best Direction In A Video Jay-Z, "99 Problems" (Director: Mark Romanek) - actually good video. Best Special Effects In A Video -NO. Best Art Direction In A Video -this catagory can fuck itself in the ear. Best Editing In A Video Jay-Z, "99 Problems" - I especially liked the part where MTV edited the beginning to warn us about "gun violence". Best Cinematography In A Video Jay-Z, "99 Problems" - Rick Rubin in Fur Motherfuckers. Christ I hate MTV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 LOL @ Modest Mouse getting nominated for a "breakthrough" award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 It is admittedly very weird to see Modest Mouse of all bands with three nominations from anything associated with MTV. Breakthrough makes sense, though; they've been around for just about a decade, and this *was* the song/video that made them break through. "Best New Artist" would've been funnier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dids Report post Posted July 28, 2004 But all "breakthrough" means is that MTV decided to play their video. It isn't like a bunch of underground video shows played it and the MTV was like "wow, the kids really dig these Mighty Mouse guys, we should play them". MTV shapes who "breaks through" for a largre portion of the music buying public. They might as well name the award "Newish band who we decided to make rich".

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 It is kind of depressing to see the MTV2 award totally shutout any and all videos that appear on Headbangers ball. Other then that, scanning quickly though the list it seems like almost every category features the same video nominees, which I guess makes sense since MTV has about a 10 music video rotation......Have the VMAs been watchable since 1994 anyway?

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Oh and I don't hate "mainstream" music for the fact that it is "mainstream" hell, I loved the rap genre before about 1996. I dislike music on the radio these days simply because it is mundane, repatative, uncreative, and poorly written, and I think the wrong apsects of an artist are being focused in on these days in the mainstream market.
