I have to be honest, I needed some time to recover from the VMAs on Sunday night.  Maybe it's the nostalgia for a more 'innocent' time (Do you remember when the Madonna/Britney kiss was so crazy?!) , but I have to say, I just don't get it.  I also realized some very important truths while watching them this year:

* I am getting too old for this.  Reference several moments when I had to google people on the red carpet.

* To that end, I'm going to go out a limb and say that the demographic that these awards appeal to does not know the origin of the song 'No Sleep 'til Brooklyn' and might actually think it was developed for this specific awards show.

* There is such a thing as 'bad press'.  Reference Miley Cyrus (what.on.earth) I'll really just let the Smith Family do the talking for me.


* NSYNC always was and always will be the most talented boy band (behind NKOTB, of course).


* Justin Timberlake is possibly the most humble, crazy talented entertainer that is currently on the scene.  I loved that he acknowledged where he came from during his speech.

* Jimmy Fallon, although he continues to bug me (seriously, get through one of your own jokes without laughing at yourself) has a serious man-crush on JT and I get it.

* Robin Thicke needs to fire his manager ASAP, whoever let Sunday night happen needs to seriously re-consider what defines a 'good idea'.

* I miss the days of Britney Spears...she might have been a hot mess, but give me a boa constrictor any day over dancing teddy bears.


* And lastly, but certainly not least, Selena Gomez, THANK YOU for rocking couture on the red carpet....
