Track 27: GET UP! To the VMAs

WHOO!!! WHAT IS GOOD BLOGGER?! It is I, Headphones, bringing you a post on the stuff that has got you talking and I'm gonna talk about what had occurred last night on the tube. Yes you know it and you love it (....yeah right?) YES! I'm talking about the Video Music Awards or VMAs so let us begin with the good, the bad, and the just plain dumb occurrences so let us begin SHALL WE?!


Alright, so Sunday night at 9PM was the showing of the VMAs hosted by Russel Brand and I gotta say OVERALL it was a good show but some of it....ummm....meh....



I'm here to bring you a blog about what I saw at the VMAs and I liked what I saw but I hate what's happening now.....It didn't help that the show starting off with Madonna giving a speech about MJ because I really didn't want to cry but when I heard her talk I agreed with her...We had abandoned at least I felt I did....when the 2005 molestation trial occurred I was so disappointed in Michael and I just said why did you let this happen again. I didn't say he was guilty but I didn't show my support for his innocence. But when his acquittal came I prayed....prayed he'd be cleared that way he can just get on with his life. Now as I write this and think about Madonna's speech my vision's blurring from tears rising. I'm so sorry Michael that I lost faith in you....Madonna's speech showed us the truth about Michael and that yes he was human but DAMMIT HE WAS A KING!! I thank you Madonna for showing people that Michael was more then a legend....he was a man....Probably the first time I actually agree with Madonna...of course it's never complete with me to find something to bitch about (severely bad habit I need to work on) but on some parts I felt that she was looking for more sympathy for herself and talking about MJ as if those two were the same....I mean she could've talked about him as a whole to us not just comparing each other....but that's just me and yes I cried....a lot....

I admit I'm somewhat disappointed with Janet's performance I mean don't get me wrong it was really great to me but it was just too short. But then again she is hurting and to perform a song without your brother being there physically I wouldn't know how to handle that so for that Janet I commend your strength. So by far her tribute may be the most real and best to her brother. When I watched her I thought she sounded rough but it was still great because this song was directed towards anybody who wants to **** with this ***** (no insult :P) or her big brother. She had messed up on one part of her choreography but to me it didn't matter she was overall good. I mean her slip up is minimal compared to the failtacular lean one of the supposed best dancer did at the end of the Smooth Criminal dance....I don't care what reason he gives he screwed up one of MJ greatest creation aside from the Moonwalk but then again he didn't invented that so mmhm. In a way now that he's gone he can't defend himself anymore so Janet will keep this song alive with her....at the end she looked almost angry but whatever she was feeling or thinking she was entitled to it. Thank you Janet for your dedication to Michael.

But all this...Madonna's heartfelt speech, Janet's performance for her brother, and MJ's This Is It trailer were overshadowed by Kanye West and a case of a douchebaggery...Look, I love Kanye West's music but sometimes I don't approve of his behavior and the VMAs are the prime example. I wanted Beyonce to win but instead Taylor Swift won the award for "Best Female Video" I guess...which I wasn't really bothered I was just like hey she won something she didn't expected good for her. Then Kanye had to go at it and at first I thought he was just playing like he usually pokes fun at his diva like attitude but then I really saw it. I was like NO DAMMIT KANYE DON'T MAKE YOURSELF LOOK STUPID!! Too late....he got booed throughout the night, he was kicked out, and his act took away from the real reason...a tribute to MJ - LOVE EACH OTHER!! RESPECT EACH OTHER!! What would Michael think if he saw that? Now every musician is out for his head....Look I'm gonna clear something up Kanye West never claimed he was the new 'King of Pop' and that an interview that was being passed around was a made up interview filled with misleading quotes. I know many don't see it but Kanye has too much respect to Michael to make those kind of claims especially since without Michael there would not be half the musician we have today.Now I agree that what Kanye did was a very messed up thing to do especially since this was Taylor Swift's first VMA award. I don't listen to her music and I actually enjoyed her performance it was very creative I give her that. But that doesn't give the right tp go up on stage and take her microphone and say what Kanye said. SHAME ON YOU KNAYE!I have a message to all the musicians: GROW THE **** UP!! Yes it was wrong what Kanye did by taking away from Taylor but there is no need for you and Taylor Swift fans to go on your little Twitter pages stating things like "Kanye you're a piece of ****" or "Kanye should be banned from the radio" or "KANYE SHOULD DIE!!". Saying **** like that only goes to annoy us who don't take things so literal. Yes, Kanye was the douchebag of the night. But Kanye had an opinion. He is entitled to an opinion. He should've keep that opinion to himself. He was kicked out of the show. He later apologized to Taylor and her mom. Beyonce was the bigger person and allowed Taylor to finished her speech. Plus Taylor is a big girl she can fend for herself so I don't know why people are treating her like this child. She's ****in' 19 years old so dammit all y'all need to chill the **** out with the manhunt threats.This is something that will disappear in less than a week....if not I really don't care because whether y'all diss me I still like Kanye West. And Taylor Swift congratulations on our first VMA awards...This night was for you MJ but unfortunately it was overshadowed by pure childish antics and overreacting musicians...

But aside from Kanye's douchebaggery, I was really looking forward to Lady Gaga's performance and she did not disappoint...OH I WANNA MARRY YOU LADY GAGA!!! Her performance was so great and shocking as hell but I loved it anyway because I like originality...Another performance was Pink's...hers was even better because she did it all while thirty feet in the friggin' air....I have no other words....Anyways to sum it up....the VMAs were dope but Kanye just ruined it for me because now all I hear is Kanye and Taylor...I'm sick of it....

Anyways until next time y'all I take my bow so I'll see y'all bitches later....I know this post is late as hell but I don't give a damn I have a life to live but I still make time for you Blogger so it's all good...

Track 26: Remember The Time

Hello lovely Blogger....how I miss thee? What is good? It is I, your absolutely distraught Headphones, coming at you with my feelings like every other blogger who hates themselves (just kidding about that last part)

As we all know....two months ago we lost our great entertainer....the legend....The King of Pop...y'all know him as Michael Jackson....Throughout these two months we heard nothing again about Michael Jackson as a person....a son, a brother, a father, a friend since his July 7th memorial at the Staples Center. All we ever here is the cocktail of drugs found in his body, his death being ruled homicide, Dr. Conrad Murray at the center of the whole entire investigation, money problems....all of it and unfortunately it may never go away.

But yesterday, September 3rd all that was pushed aside when Michael was finally laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. I watched the coverage of it up until the hearse with his coffin pulled up into the service when the Live Pool Feed (*basically this a camera feed that was set up for the media outlet that they all had to share) cut to an end just before it began. The service was nothing like what the family had said but it was still just as touching. It was intimate but had over 200 people in attendance but all close personal friends and family (he had a huge family....), there were actual cameras there and it was stated that this footage may be used in an upcoming Jackson's reality show or the This Is It movie coming soon to a theater near you but still no confirmation.

Aside from all the technical stuff because I really don't want to repeat it because all I want as a fan is some closure I couldn't stop crying yesterday. But thankfully he was not buried on his birthday because that was a time for celebration of his LIFE and burying him would've have just been too somber. I was in California the week of his birthday and on that day I went to visit my uncle who had passed 3 years ago and the emotions of his birthday and losing my uncle was so much for to not shed tears. I tried hard to be happy for you Michael and Uncle but it still so hard to grip the fact that we lost you. He's finally buried in privacy and maybe now he can rest in peace away from the media madhouse. I'm still shock and numb because it's like I believe that he's not dead but every time I hear his name it's like...I get so excited inside but it dawns on me that he's really dead....At one point I wanted to know how he was going to look one final time actually see him. But now I don't think I could handle seeing him sleeping in his last bed forever if they actually caught it. It's just too hard...but finally Michael you can sleep....and we'll miss you always but you'll never be silent...We love you MJ....

Sleep Well Michael

Rest In Peace
