A Wrap on MTV's Video Music Awards 2008

So, MTV is at it again. This years Video Music Awards are here again, hosted by The UK's hottest rocker, Russel Brand. The VMA's are known for their wild and outrageous times and nothing less is expected for 2008.

The pre-show had interviews with celebrites of all flavors, for example, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Christina Augilera, TI, Kobe Bryant, etc... There was also a dance battle performance between the last two standing groups of America's Best Dance Crew, and the winner was presented during the VMA's later in the night.

The VMA's are opening yet another year with the infamous Britney Spears. But this year she will not be performing, Rihanna however will be. Rihanna's preformance was nothing but spectacular! The Jonas Brothers seemed a little fake, and so do their personaltites, Leona Lewis was beautiful as always, while Lil Wayne and T-Payne, showed off their vocal skills, Paramore, who recently visited Charlotte, rocked out as always, and Pink who recently settled for divorce, dissed her ex-hubby with her newly released single 'so what'.

The second half of the Video Music Awards continued to impress. TI and Rhianna reminded why we love them so much, Christina Augilera, who recently had a baby, showed the comeback that Britney Spears wished she had last year, Kid Rock featuring Lil' Wayne, performed his new single 'summer time', and rocked the stage, and lastly, Kanye West closed the show like a professional.
