First off, I thought what Madonna had to say was both amusing and beautiful. (I'm sorry, it may sound dumb, but I don't think anyone understands a shy person, like another shy person. He seems like once, you broke him out of his shell, he was a fun person to hang out and talk with. Interesting too...All the places he's been and the unique perspective he'd have on them...You know that question of you could have how ever many people living or dead to be your dinner guest and conversate with them. I have a handful in mind and he's definitely one. My paternal grandmother, My Gran Lee, and my maternal great-grandmother are some of the other ones. I like Alicia Keyes too. She seems like she's cool people and Beyonce too. More men...I'll get back to you on that one...I'm also getting off track. Ahem...)
The second part...I would've put together a different medley. Did they just not want to start with J5 stuff or things from Michael's solo albums on Motown? (I would've included something from them, and had some dancers who were children. Unless labor laws or rehearsal schedules prevented me from doing so.) I can't remember what the other songs were beyond Thriller and Bad. I just felt like the medley should have covered more of a span, but I know how tight the timing is with award shows, so I can only b*@# so much about that aspect of the performance without sounding like I'm nitpicking. The dancer's in different costumes of Michael dancing to Thriller (For some reason, that just gave me the heebie jeebies. The same way Return of the Living Dead Part II will from now on I guess.).
One of the dancer's didn't seem steady when they were doing that anti-gravity illusion from Smooth Criminal. That nagged at me a bit.
Janet Jackson's performance...I thought she did a wonderful job. I was reading what the person covering the VMA's for USA Today said, and they said she seemed almost angry...I don't know if it was anger so much as defiance...Like she was saying, "I'm still here and I'm going to make it through this. " I haven't heard her new single yet, but I plan to. I found out yesterday that Janet Jackson is on Twitter, I didn't know that before. Elizabeth Taylor is also on Twitter, I didn't know that either. I think that's so cool. A lot of older people don't like to fool with new things, so it's nice to find some that do. I got an e-mail from Eartha Kitt once. That blew my mind. : D
Which kind of brings me back to what I was saying in another post/entry, you have to let people know what they mean to you while they're still here.
