The 2006 MTV VMA's: An Example of How Boring the Music Industry Is

Saying that the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards show was a night filled with sub-par performances, horrible fashion, and moments that made you want to turn and watch re-runs of The Golden Girls would be putting it nicely. While some Americans still love awards shows, I personally can do without them. Here are some moments from the show that just made me want to throw my remote at the television screen.

1. Beyonce’s “Ring the Alarm” Performance

I love Beyonce but it just doesn't seem like she’s trying any more. Her performance of "Ring The Alarm" was so boring that I knocked my head on my TV screen after it put me to asleep. Plus, I’m tired of all these R&B girls ripping off Janet Jackson’s outfits and past performances. Note to Beyonce: look up “original” in the dictionary. Everything you’re doing now I've seen before. I'm still waiting for that magical moment when it all just comes together for you and I'm blown away.

2. Nicole Ritchie's Weight Loss

What in the world is going on with Nicole Ritchie? Can someone please fax her a Happy Meal? She’s really sending a bad message to our young girls. Her weight loss sends the message to young girls that it's okay to look that way. She needs a serious wake-up call. Note to Nicole Ritchie: McDonalds Happy Meals, KFC, Krispy Kreme and more. Eat, girl, eat!

3. Paris Hilton's Dress

I love Paris Hilton, but that dress was horrible. It looked like a combination of three different looks from different generations of fashion trends. It just didn’t come together right. But of course she’s the most photographed person of the night. She loves the cameras and they love her back. Note to Paris Hilton: Stars are blind, and so is your stylist.

    "You're Old"

    Yeah...Didn't you know, that it's the new trend with youngsters to watch people kiss each others ass for producing such useless garbage under the guise of music.
