Almost Famous



Finally Youtubed some of the music videos. Can you believe that today is the first time I actually saw the Damaged video, only because I heard the song and it's stuck in my head. The video's so weird, especially the ending where the girls were operating on some guy's heart or whatever.

When will the exams come? I'm getting so freaking restless!! And I'm sick!!!

Watched some of the Olympics. Got to watch the 200m finals. That Jamaican guy broke the world record and got first. The entertaining part was after the race ended. So, this Jamaican guy is celebrating and dancing, rightfully so. The camera's focused on him because he broke the world record. And the rest of the athletes are being ignored by the camera, rightfully so. Then when Jamaican guy is dancing, all of a sudden, this guy from USA who came in 3rd suddenly comes in and hugs the Jamaican guy and is all extra. I mean, the guy who came in 2nd was cool and wasn't hogging the spotlight. On the other hand, USA guy was all cocky and was like, "YEAHH!!!! WE MADE IT!!!!" to the Jamaican guy. Then they dissociate and then the camera's focused on the USA guy because the commentators were talking about how he could've been disqualified because they think that he stepped out of the line. So they show the replays and he kind of does, but it's not official yet. Then the camera focuses on USA guy who's all like, "FUCK YEAHHH!!!!" and showing his blue tongue and all and then he's all celebrating and all and then the screen shows that he's officially disqualified. The peak of the hilarity was that the screen at the stadium showed him and beside his name was DSQ in big bold letters, and he doesn't see the screen and is still celebrating cockily. Then somebody tells him about his disqualification and immediately, you can see the smile turn into a frown in an instant. IT'S SO FUNNY!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! See, you shouldn't get all cocky. I should've taped it!

Anyway, I was randomly watching TV in the morning and TRL was on. It's been such a freaking long time since I watched it. What happened to TRL? How come it's so sucky now. And what I hated the most about MTV Asia is..... They were showing a recap of the videos and Number 1 was I Kissed A Girl. MTV Asia muted the song AND actually censored the "Girl" from the title! I mean, fine, right? Well, the problem is that MTV Asia also airs Jackass and it's fine if they show asses and never censor them. I'm so pissed off! I would've written a letter to them if I weren't so busy/sick.

Anyhoo, the nominees for the VMA's are already up.

VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Chris Brown - Forever
Jonas Brothers - Burnin' Up
Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up
Britney Spears - Piece Of Me
The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go

You have to admit that this year's is really weak. I mean, the only video I like is When I Grow Up. And Forever? With You was so much better. And the freaking Jonas Brothers are nominated. Please don't win!!!! I watched the video... It was OK. Not Video Of The Year worthy. Piece Of Me is also OK, not Video Of The Year worthy. Shut Up And Let Me Go, on the other hand, is good, but doesn't it remind you of the White Stripe's video?
