I have been watching the MTV VMAs since 1998 if I had to guess? I really only remember 2000 when Britney Spears performed with NSync and the pop music obsession for me began.
Well flash forward to over 10 years later and I got the pleasure of going to this years MTV Music Awards! I can’t even express how freaking excited I was. Not only was I going, but I got to stand in the pit! Dreams of me slapping hands with all the different artists as they came down the stage and me getting on television filled my nights of sleep. Unfortunately, none of that happened but that’s ok! It was still an amazing experience. I loved seeing how everything went on behind the scenes. From the stage crew setting up for the next performance while Lady Gaga was presenting Britney Spears with a lifetime achievement awards, watching the back up dancers pump themselves up before going out on stage as they stood right next to me, to the announcer yelling out “30 seconds till show people. 30 seconds. Please get to your seats”.
I pretty much stared at Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Taylor Lautner and Britney Spears during every commercial break. It was just too surreal. See posts below for my comments on the different VMA performances this year.
