First off, I want to shout out a few people that I know who are vying for the chance to be Much Music's newest VJ! Tika Simone, Shannon Boodram, Kamakacci Juice and Ron Dias, you guys each deserve that role so, good luck! For anyone else interested in getting into the competition, hit up the Much Music website. You guys have until midnight Sunday, September 27th to get your entries in! This month has been great for Toronto with TIFF and Manifesto so, I hope everyone has had a chance to check them both out! I heard some good reviews about the movie 'Precious' and I'm really looking forward to seeing it when it comes to theatres in November. There are so many things going on this week and weekend... Birthdays, BBQs, babyshowers and photoshoots! Toronto is buzzin' and I love it!
Ok... Now let's get to the nitty-gritty. *sigh* The MTV VMAs. One word to describe it: WOW! First off, where were the fashionistas hiding? Besides Lady Gaga's crazy costume changes, the only two ensembles worth mentioning were from the Knowles sisters! Beyonce was the hottest lady in red and Solange kept it sexy in black. I don't even remember what the men were wearing and that's really disappointing! Anywho, I was on the edge of my seat impatiently waiting for the MJ tribute! I don't mean to sound insensitive but, Madonna was making me cringe! I couldn't wait for her to stop talking! The dance tribute was LIVE in my opinion but I was upset that a few dancers were making mistakes. I mean, yeah, everyone's human but.... COME ON! I already knew deep down that Janet was going to dance to 'Scream' so she and Michael could do their dance solo together (tear) but... I kind of expected more out of it. Anyways, I was in a good mood after the tribute and I really thought the show was going to run smoothly! Of course, that was too much to ask for.... :(
Leave it up to the ignorance of Kanye West to hope up on stage, ruin Taylor Swift's acceptance speech with his unwanted and unasked for opinion, and hand her back the mic like he did something gold medal worthy... *eye roll*. From there, the vibe of the show kind of went down hill! Lady Gaga smashed her performance for 'Paparazzi', Pink confused me with her Cirque du Soleil-esque performance (but I love the song she sang) and Beyonce BORED me with the 'Single Ladies' joint! I know, I know... You Beyonce stans are flying off the handle right now but look, I've seen that damn performance a trillion times now! Doesn't matter how many clones she brought on stage to "spice it up', IT WAS BORING! I will give her credit for trying to defuse the situation with Taylor Swift though. She's definately a classy woman for that! Last but not least, the super fan that is Lil' Mama. I always try to justify her ways, I really do, but she makes it soooo hard! I mean, I personally could careless about Jay-Z but, when an artist of that calibre is on stage performing, it is NOT cute nor is it cool to jump on stage unannounced! Lil' Mama, I understand how much you love Brooklyn and I know how easy it is to get caught up in the music you love... but that's no excuse for what you did. I don't agree with Jay-Z hitting you with that 'you're T-Painning it' crap but hey, you put yourself in the line of fire!
It's really sad that the focus of the show was stolen from MJ memory.... I really wish these "celebrities" would get over themselves!

One other thing I wanted to touch on was New York Fasion Week... What the heck happend? I can count on one hand how many designers brought the dopeness but even then, there were
only a few pieces that got me excited!
Here are a few fresh pics:
Alright, I'm out of here people... Going to catch some early shut eye. I have a long day tomorrow that'll end with Industry Mag's Model Search photoshoot... Can we say, excitement?!
Remember to stay dope & keep it fresh! I leave you now with a throwback joint from Zhane... Yeah, I'm in that kind of mood right now!

-Ms. MusiQ is feeling oh so lovey-dovey right now... Ooowwwwww!
Yo! I agree the focus was lost, ONCE AGAIN @ another awards show! Mr West should have taken time to grieve. Dude is parading around with a stripper, with a bottle of Henney, and interrupting moments that have nothing to do with him! C'mon Mr West!? Chill and regroup!
