Having an opinion, whether deemed right or wrong by others, should not be a bad thing. Jordin’s only ‘mistake’ was saying it out loud. She has since stated that she may have used better phrasing, but she stands by what she said. I say good for her!

I think what Jordin said was a knee-jerk reaction and just her voicing her support for The Jonas Brothers.

Good on her.[/quote]
No, opinions are very good things…calling people who disagree with your views on premarital sex “sluts” however is intolerance, yes indeed.

Good on her.

[even though that's probably not how she meant it]

And the entire Britney thing was hysterical. Having won the awards or not, thats all she did was go up there and accept her award so how is that a comeback?[/quote]
Of course that’s how Ms. Sparks meant it. Intolerance runs deep.

As to BS…Winning three awards anywhere after her last year counts as a comeback. She had to do some work to win the awards.

This wasn’t a Comedy Central Roast – this was the MTV VMA’s. His comments were WAY out of line. The Jonas Brothers have been in the entertainment business since they were about 6 years old. The purity rings were talked about back then. Their personal decision is personal. They don’t talk about it in interviews anymore just for that fact. They don’t want it to be the main focus of their band. If the VMA host wanted to make a joke or comment about it – that would have been fine – but to go on and on in such a distasteful rampage was completely uncalled for. Nick is only 15 years old. I applaud Jordin Sparks (and so did the majority of the VMA audience) for sticking up for the Jonas Brothers. The host ruined the entire show. I sure hope they don’t invite him back next year ![/quote]

I did finish watching the show last night in bed only because I wanted to see how bad it got.

Ok so I think the host was an ass. a lot of his comments were uncalled for but remember this is MTV we are talking about. This is the way a lot of their shows are. That is what makes them MTV. they will go where no other network dares to go. I am not saying that is right but so much of MTV is “Real Life” and someone has to point that out.

You have your conservative networks like ABC, CBS and FOX and then you have the networks that go a little beyond like MTV and BET. We don’t have to like what they do. Some people appreciate that type of show. Those who don’t just need to change the channel like I am sure so many people did last night. That’s what is nice about cable. There is a show for everyone.

I went on just now to add the winner and low and behold it was done. Thanks Joyce for adding that.

Did you actually watch the show? Other than Kid Rock, it was awful.[/quote]

Oh hell no.
