Who else watched it? I personally enjoyed the performances of Justin Bieber and Nick Jonas. I'm not sure if it was joy or not, but at the of Justin Bieber's performance, he seemed to be a bit emotional. Perhaps it's because he hadn't been there for five years, I'm not sure, but he hit that same point Britney Spears did, and, as of March 2015, has been turning his life around.

I dunno, it's been a while since Britney's case so I don't really remember it, but I don't really think they're all that similar? Britney's low point seemed like it was the result of having her image controlled for so long and having people hound at her/her relationships that she just couldn't handle it anymore. Biebs had some similarity, but I think fundamentally his was because of a lack of control, that either no one was telling him "hey this is not good to do" and/or he ignored them b/c he had money. I'm still put off by him because of what he did before, but I do hope that he's able to take steps to take responsibility for the past few years and put in consistent effort to do better for himself and the people he cares about. All that said, I didn't watch the VMAs but I've been watching videos and Nicki dragging Miley halfway 'cross the country in 10 seconds and how Miley's face just loses all color as "WHAT'S GOOD, MILEY" hits omg i cried laughing. AND NICKI THANKING HER PASTOR RIGHT BEFORE IT LMAO. miley startin' beef and expectin to come out unscathed she THOUGHT. And tbh, I'm so glad someone finally called her out, I'm getting so sick of the racist stunts she pulled, and that "mammy" comment was the absolute last straw for me. Big Sean's shoutout to his grandma was also really sweet :') as was Kanye's speech (tho "we're millenial bros the next generation" fam you 37???) also, KanYES 2020.
I think for Justin Bieber it's that he became famous at such a young age and didn't really know how to handle it, so by the time he got to be 18, he started acting out and getting into legal trouble (I think that's around the age it started). Obviously, this isn't the case for everyone, because the Sprouse twins, for example, became famous at a young age and haven't had legal troubles since becoming 18 (or even before that in their early-mid teenage years). That's because they had the right support, but even without the right support or any support at all, for that matter, some people can still handle the fame. It all depends. I don't know them personally, so I don't want to make it seem like I'm bad-mouthing anyone, and I'm not trying to, but from what I've read it doesn't sound like Justin Bieber's father was a very good role model and he just didn't have the right support from anybody on how to handle the fame. I'm not saying what he did was right, and this was discussed to death before here, but I don't put all the blame on him. His parents, producers, and whoever else is/was associated with his music career also had a responsibility to educate him on fame. I guess it finally hit him sometime after the last time he was in legal trouble, which was his low point. In regard to Britney Spears, I actually don't know much, either, but I think it was somewhat the same thing. She became famous at a young age and started doing stupid things as she grew up. The only difference, I think, is that her stupid things were more private, such as doing drugs, eventually leading to her baby being taken away until she got her life back together.
There's a difference between having a drug problem after someone close to you dies and being a spoiled brat. Glad to see that he's apparently changing for the better after realizing that he's a joke to most people, but it's going to take more than some tears at the VMA for him to earn my respect. On a related note, I'm watching his performance right now and it's not bad. There are the tears. Miley just ruined the moment.
the thread about the music awards isnt even about the music why should i give a **** about people with **** taste voting which **** artist is the best or whatever
