Although I didn't get to watch them live, I certainly heard about it all reading people's facebook statuses during the show. Instead, I only watched the "highlighted clips" provided on MTV.com . From this, the highlights of Sunday's show were as follows:
First off, obviously Kanye West's award show rant (yet another one) is the hottest topic. But his antics have gotten old, and he just needs to get over himself (cuz he definately ain't the next Michael Jackson, as he previously claimed). See below as he takes over Taylor Swift's moment
The Michael Jackson tribute was phenomenal as professional choreographers came out to honor the talented dancer. As well, in the last half, Janet Jackson came out to sing and dance along side the video of her late brother to their 1996 hit "Scream" (one of my favorite songs)
Lady GaGa (as always) kept things interesting...and confusing. Although I understand the theme of the effects of fame, especially now with stalkerish paparazzi, I didn't realize she was going for a "Princess Diana" story until I read about it. I'll give her points though, she definately knows how to keep us guessing; the ending was great though
Lastly, Beyonce's performance of her worldwide smash hit "Single Ladies". As great as it was, I've seen her perform this song a thousand times on tv, and though she changed it up a little bit, i still was expecting something more. However, as always she's a dedicated and great performer all around. As well, she was classy in later giving Taylor Swift her time to shine by letting the country star finish her thank you speech after Beyonce had won the Video of the Year.
Overall, it seemed to be a pretty good show from the clips I've seen and MTV definately received the attention it was hoping for after the show was over (though the majority had to do with an unplanned moment, but that's just how the VMAs go!).
p.s. for whatever reaosn, blogger was letting me embed the videos, idk why, so just click the link and watch!
