MTV Generation

Does MTV deserves a spot in my blog? Well, I guess it does. Every year, the time I spend watching the VMAs shortens. I confess, I haven’t seen all the VMAs, but this year’s show must have been the worst of all. It is hosted by Chris Rock, to start with. No one can host a terrible party, but the corniest comedian in the planet. Secondly, is the VMA becoming a flea market or what? Even Iggy Pop is now selling his upcoming album. VMA is place where losers from The Grammys win, meaning, good music is no longer acknowledged. I thinked I’ve watched more presentations tonight than actually hearing music in the show because everytime they announce the winner I’m already in another channel watching Steven Seagal kicks ass. The only musicians in the show are the members of Coldplay who really represented the few (the talented).

Did VMA ruin my day? Hell no! My cousin emailed me tonight asking my thoughts on a musician that I’ve never heard of before called Viena Teng. After listening to a few samples off her album, I was immediately hooked. I’m off to Borders tomorrow to buy the album. She has a beautiful voices and her music is really moving. It’s orchestral, yet it rocks!
