RE: The VMA's/Britney Spears


The note that follows is my strongly worded email to MTV.

Dear MTV,

You really faked us all out didn't you? As I turned on my television last night in anticipation of seeing Britney's comeback performance I was impressed with you all for giving her a second chance. Little did I know that it was all a big fat farce!

As you know, Britney did not perform and for those of us expecting a song, a glimmer something we (I) were sorely disappointed. I know that you never said she was going to sing but you led us to believe (and you know that you did) while touting her as the artist that was opening the show; that she would be on stage dancing and singing.

As for the rest of the show, there is no easy way to say this; it sucked! The performances were lackluster and the host (my God where did you find him?) was crass, without being funny, and just looked dirty. After about half the show I had had enough and changed the channel back to Sunday Night Football.

In conclusion just note that if you screw with your viewership we get mad and retaliate. I will not watch the VMA's again and see no reason to participate in the farce that once was Music Television. As for Britney, she deserved a second chance to show what she could or could not do and you all failed.

Sincerely,
Tivo Mom

Tivo Mom -

I couldn't agree more. While it was GREAT to see a sober/pretty Britney, I was expecting some kind of performance.

And you are also right about that host - whomever he was, he needs to go back to the U.K. and stay there. As a VERY liberal Democrat (as you well know), even I cringed at his crass commentary about our current president. It was uncalled for and unfunny. He even had the nerve to insult the Queen of England! This queen doesn't take kindly to insults toward THE Queen.

I turned the channel after that, and only checked in a few times during the rest of the show. Pretty much a sucky experience all around.

XOXOXO
