From a recent interview with Newsweek:
"It's less of me singing the song, and more of an art installation. A performance-art piece. It's very well-designed and thought out, and we've been planning it for months and months. It is for me a very meaningful performance, [for] where I am in my career, as well as the experiences I've had, as well as the co-headlining tour I'm going on in the fall. […] I sort of have this philosophy about things: there's never a reason to do something unless it's going to be memorable, unless it's going to change things, unless it's going to inspire a movement. With the song and with the performance, I hope to say something very grave about fame and the price of it."
Please note –– she's genius. I would post her performance here, but it's currently being hunted down and removed from Youtube by MTV.

Dear Talentless Hack,
14/09/09 10:45 AM
I like my celebs with talent. I like a little
scandal. But I like them to have class, capable of
being humble.
I dislike how Kanye West is so completely devoid of common sense. In a show being dedicated to the 'greatest entertainer the world has ever seen', the greatest douche bag the world has ever seen needed to remind us how he will never be in the league of greats like Michael Jackson.
Let alone the sore-loser antics of the past. This time he ruined possibly one of the greatest moments thus far in a young new artist's career. I will never buy a single, an album, or go to a concert that this loser puts out. I implore you to do the same.
*k fine, he's not talentless.. He's a tactless hack. And his douchebaggery far eclipses his talent. That's all.

VMAs

MTV VMAs were an amazing show, really impressed.
Highlights:
1. Beyoncé's performance was quite possibly the fiercest thing I've ever seen. I was actually kinda scared.
2. Lady Gaga's performance was royally disturbing (as were her multiple outfits throughout the evening), but I ate it up. F'd up performance art / living art installation = confuse the shit outta people = AWESOME.
3. Pink's performance was amazing, I love her. She's incredibly gorgeous + I love her small (thus, gravity defying) boobs!
4. Madonna's MJ eulogy literally had me crying. The montage / dance tribute was amazing. JJ was amazing performing Scream / I love how they'd removed her from the video screen and had her instead standing in place performing live.
5. Love love looooove Beyonce for being such a classy lady and handing the mic to Taylor Swift when she herself had won for video of the year.
