I think Madonna looks pretty good for her age. When my husband first saw her Gap ad, said "God she looks old", but I disagree.

My over-arching VMA observation is that whoever directed it should be fired and killed to prevent him/her from ever working again. WELL before the Duran Duran sound problem, the s/o and I were making comments every 10 minutes about how terrible the sound was, both during the speeches and the performances. At the Duran Duran point, I said "this show doesn't deserve my audience," and I went to bed. You couldn't hear Redman during Dirrrty. Hell, you could barely hear Xtina.
BUT
The opening number was hot. Chris Rock was very funny, as usual. I particularly liked his: "we have to be real careful on the seating arrangements. Can't sit 50 cent anywhere near Ja Rule, can't sit Jay-Z and Nas together, and since the Olsen twins are down here, R. Kelly's gotta be way way up there." Even if he did double clutch on the joke, like he was considering not doing it.
Good Charlotte is a fraud, but from what I hear, the 12-14 y.o. girls love em. Personally, I think they're a poor man's Sum 41.
50 was good, but I'd rather have seen him do "If I Can't Do It" or "21 Questions," but then we wouldn't have gotten to see Snoop all decked out in his P.I.M.P. gear. And was that Don Bishop Magic Juan with him? Sweet.
WIthout the sound problems, I'd have given it an 8. As it was, a 2.
