ThE vMa'S 2011 hAd A lOt BrEwInG iN tHe PoT tHiS yEaR!

Among the many faces that stood out at the VMA 2011 awards (Video Music Awards), Beyonce's face seemed 2 stick out the most. Or maybe it was just her belly! Beyoncé (above) and hubby Jay-Z are having a baby! This news has been much anticipated 4 years now! Congrats 2 the elated couple!

The performances I most enjoyed:

1)  Beyoncé delivered an exhilarating performance! Hitting every note on key and still partaking in a little booty shaking. I was nervous 4 her the whole time in those heels. You know they say in pregnant women their equilibrium is usually off so I was hoping she wouldn't hurt herself.

2) You always expect Lady Gaga 2 come out with an original outfit every time and this night she definitely did. Her performance was the true work of an artist. She is very talented.

3) Adele's voice was angelic and strong. I love listening 2 her sing and even though she doesn't move around on stage a lot, you still feel her obvious passion and emotion with every verse.

4) I enjoyed watching Kanye West and Jay-Z's incredible energy on the stage. Especially with them sampling 1 of my favorite Otis Redding songs!

5) Last but not least, I enjoyed watching the little kids perform 4 Britney Spears', Michael Jackson Vanguard award moment. I had 4gotten the many songs Britney sang over the years and I thoroughly enjoyed being reminded of them. Britney is an excellent performer who gives 100% 2 her craft. I'm glad 2 see her back on the right track.

BUT! We do have 2 give it up 4 rapper Nicki Minaj (above) who took home the moon man award 4 'Best Hip Hop Video'! Minaj went on 2 say this after winning:

"Oh my god!" Minaj screamed. "Southside Jamaica, Queens, underground female rapper, Young Money, Cash Money ... I want to thank God. I want to thank my family. I want to thank Sanaa [Hamri] for directing an amazing video.


"And the Barbz. I love you, Barbz. I love you so much. And MTV, I thank you."

In the category 4 'Best Hip Hop Video' Nicki Minaj won over, Chris Brown's "Look at Me Now" (featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes), Kanye West's "All of the Lights" (featuring Rihanna and Kid Cudi), Lil Wayne's "6 Foot, 7 Foot" and Lupe Fiasco's "The Show Goes On."

Actor Russell Brand delivered a heartfelt tribute 2 singer Amy Winehouse (above), and spoke of her in such a way that you knew he personally related 2 what she had gone through. He sincerely felt the young singer's pain and at the same time praised her artistry, and compared her 'old soul' voice 2 the likes of Blues singers, Billy Holiday and Etta James. This is an enormous compliment, and Amy Winehouse will go down in history being uniquely known 4 her bluesy, jazzy, soulful voice. R.I.P AW.

Overall, the VMA's were exciting this year! I did miss Alicia Keys and Pink (both of whom recently had babies! Congrats guys!) but maybe they'll make a cameo next year.

VMA 2012 let's go!
