DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hard to believe it's been 10 years since Britney Spears had her comeback begin at the 2008 VMAs Let's look back at the award show from 10 years ago. The award show was held on September 7, 2008 and the show was hosted by Russel Brand and took place at the Paramont Pictures Studio in LA You may remember this promo for the show: The red carpet was popping with music royalty Rihanna came to shine P!nk wowed in perhaps her best look ever Future queens of 2013, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, posed together Lady Gag....I mean Christina Aguilera was there ...as was country singer Taylor Swift Ne-Yo, one of the top male artists at the time, was present Fad Jordin Sparks was there too Underrated talent, Ciara, was still doing okay with her career, so she was there. (She was just about to begin her decline that fall) Chris Brown, the biggest male artist of 2008 was just in America's hearts Here's a trash can on the carpet Chrissy and John were just starting their relationship. She got the Green Light Lil Wayne was still releasing music and the Pussycat Dolls were still together THE PERFORMANCES Rihanna gave an amazing performance of Disturbia and Seven Nation Army (literally no videos of it on youtube) Christina gave her last performance as a dominant female artist in the industry Okay Youtube like doesn't have any of the 2008 vma performances... Paramore performed Misery Business Kanye performed Love Lockdown P!nk performed "So What" on the back lot stage (yea they had different stages that year) so did the Jonas Brothers with their song "Lovebug" Katy Perry was the in house talent: AWARD WINNERS Britney owned the night with Video of the Year, Best Female Video and Best Pop Video Chris Brown won Best Male Video for "With You" Tokio Hotel received best new artist Linkin Park won Best Rock Video for "Shadow of the Day". love you Chester Lil Wayne won Best Hip-Hop Pussycat Dolls won Best Dancing in a Video and to end this post, Russel Brand called George W Bush "that retard and cowboy fella" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisGuyTony 31,024 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 They could at least get A-list and relevant pop superstars to attend. Now they only get Youtubers and people ain't nobody heard about or cares about to attend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMKKARDASHiAN 8,570 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The only thing I remember from the 2008 VMAs was Rihanna’s Disturbia performance and it was EXCELLENT! Also, your scathing commentary is just Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,621 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 A good throwback. When the pants were tight, the guys were linered, we were all emo, and things were alright Lol check out Hollywood Undead handing the moonman to Lil Wayne, haven't thought about that band in a long time My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMonster08 4,528 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I won't comment about Rih's vocals but that performance was actually lit. And you know this is hella old when you see Ne-Yo, Jordin and Tokio Hotel there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lana Del Gay 853 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 OMG I never knew P!nk sounded that good live! Usually when singers perform they sound different because no autotune, but P!nk sounded amazing... Unless she was lip-syncing Other great live performers are Lorde and of course Gaga. But Britney... That rah rah bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Nook 37,808 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I feel like back then there was an iconic variety of artists from different genres nowadays the lineup is so bland Uh Red Wine... Convict... Gah Gah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Wow. A lot can happen in 10 years. I'd love to go back to those days when music was fun. Nowadays there are too many stan wars and the artists are too competitive and bitter. I think this shows how millennials really are to blame for the state of the music industry these days.
