Everyone else can listen to "Can't Believe It", but I'm playing this one way more often.

Here's Love Lockdown. No clue what's going on here, the live version sounded better. This sounds like KanyeVersion2K9.

Sexy Time, Its Nice!!

No "Love Lockdown" out yet, but a tentative date is December 16th and the title is set at "808's & Heartbreak." I liked Good Ass Job better, but oh well. Heres a little something from Ye, ignore the corny title and its pretty smooth.

VMA diary

What's up? I'm Ted, the new Entertainment Editor and music blogger for The Review. I'm going to run this space a little differently then in the past, starting with my running diary of MTV's Video Music Awards tonight:

8:42p.m. - Just tuned into the pre-show, and here are some pre-thoughts. I dont know who Russel Brand really is, but people seem to like him and he managed to land the hosting job, well see. Britney is opening up, MTV obviously subscribes by my motto - if something fails horribly one year, try it again... on national TV

There's an interview between Sway in a helicopter and a faceless Paris Hilton in a limousine, information and intrigue is oozing through the television screen.

9:00p.m. - Here we go. No bare midriff from Brit tonight, maybe no catastrophes either? - heres to hoping not.

Dancing zombies with glow sticks lead Rihanna out as she sings "Disturbia." I'm looking for Britney among them bit can't seem to find her.

A vampire joins them - no, thats Russel Brand. He reassures us that he's famous - if you say so. Then he gives Obama an endorsement, McCain doesnt stand a chance now. Old school monologue works well, and now we know Russel Brand thinks a lot about the Jonas Brothers' virginity.

The nights first winner is...Britney Spears, who gets the Best Female Video award for "Piece of Me" her first VMA ever. She keeps the speech short, but makes sure to thank her boys "for inspiring her", inspiring her to avoid the camera tonight.

9:26p.m. - Demi Moore descends a revolving spiral staircase to say...Nothing. She forgot her microphone and now is searching the stage frantically for help. Thats more like it.

Best Male Video - Chris Brown "With You"

The Jonas Brothers perform acapella outside the Paramount Lot. Then expand to a bigger, plugged in setting, it goes without saying theres more screaming girls here then at an R.Kelly slumber party.

9:39p.m. - Our next presenter? Michael Phelps. He presents Lil Wayne, who's performing with Leona Lewis and T-pain. Chain to shirt ratio is 2:0 right now. Pain comes out and the two run around the crowd like crazed maniacs, like, like, T-pain and Lil Wayne.

Lindsay Lohan declares Fanny Pak the dance off challenge winner. The most exciting thing she's done since Jared Leto.

Best Dancing in a Video - Pussy Cat Dolls "When I Grow Up" they take the award with their hands, cause it doesnt fit in their underwear.

9:57p.m. - Brand rambles, then tells everyone to welcome the cast of "Twilight" three times. I haven't figured out if hes actually hammered, or if its an act. If its legitimate, then maybe he can give Kobe Bryant a drink, the dude looks uncomfortable everywhere, especially when unknown androgynous British comedians are making fun of him.

10:07p.m. - More jokes about the Jonas Penis'.

Best Rock Video - Linkin Park "Shadow of the Day."

Miley Cyrus wants to play Rockband but has to introduce Pink. She also want to eat ice cream, text message, and go to recess. Im doing two of those things right now.

10:22 - McLovin joins Slipknot on stage, says hes trashed. This is like when your adolescent brother runs into your psychotic uncle at Thanksgiving and the two share their problems over glasses of red wine.

Best Hip Hop Video - Lil Wayne "Lollipop" - no one saw this coming. no one.

Rihanna comes out a second time to perform with T.I. The song sample the ozone youtube hit. One more tally in the bizare column, thank you.

Side note: Rihanna might be staeling the show, regardless if she wins. Everyones mentioning her and Chris Brown, she performed twice, and is on her 12th single off her album. She kind of a big deal right now.

10:37p.m. - The stars of HSM3 come out. Corbin Blue looks 31 years old.

Christina Aguilera perfoms in black leather and mask. Im paying full attention. She starts with a "Genie in a Bottle" Remix while declining some comtraption, again, bizare. She loses the mask and sings her new single "Keeps Gettin' Better." Easily one of the best performances of the night.

Best New Artist - Tokio Hotel, nice knowin ya boys. Theres two options here, either they sky rocket and become huge, or well never hear from them again. Which do you think is more likely?

Memo: Paris Hilton is looking for a new BFF. And by best friend, she means someone who can turn this reality show into another one in 4 months.

10:50p.m. - Paris finally graces the stage with her presence. The camera shows McLovin in the crowd. I swear this the MTV Awkward Awards.

Best Pop Video - Britney Spears "Piece of Me." Shes only allowed 2 minutes on stage at a time.

10:59p.m. - Kid Rock performs "Sweet Home Alabama" with a drink in hand. Both are complete surprises. Wayne comes out and does a verse, this borders classic and dreadful at the same time.

11:10p.m. - Kobe Bryant presents video of the year. Hopefully this is the end, and the Spears pity party will stop.

Nope.

Video of the Year - Britney Spears "Piece of Me"

The camera shows Chris Brown laughing. I mean, she was in all the VMA promos, she opened the show, and after last years stinker, how could MTV not shower Britney in awards. I'm not saying the show is fixed, just that MTV might be playing favorites here.

Kanye closes the show out with his new single from his upcoming album to be released in December. A perfect note to end on. Ill keep you updated on his album, and look for a post of the song tomorrow, the 8th, when he releases it on the web.
