OK, I did not watch the entirety of the VMAs tonight; it was too hard to follow and I really didn't enjoy the layout of the show. The 'main' stage was small if that was the main stage and all the suites and whatnot confused me (if I was there in real life, than I probably wouldn't be complaining, but I'm not, so boo) and yeah.

But the reason I'm writing this entry at all is because of a certain Ms. Britney Spears. I'm not a real big fan of her music personally, although I did enjoy her in I'm a Slave 4 U and some of her more personal songs like Let Me Be and Overprotected. But man oh man, something must have gone terribly wrong before she was to go on stage because she looked like she did not want to be there. From what I saw, she seemed bothered or uncomfortable; maybe both, maybe neither. Whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant as the cameras caught some pretty expressionless faces on some of the spectators tonight.

Someone who did rock my socks though was Alicia Keys. She was awesome and totally rocked the Palms.

I hope that Britney comes out of this performance and kicks it up several notches. Even though I'm not much of a fan or a fan at all in the sense, it still sucks to see her going through all the media blitz that is her life. She is still human even beyond what seemed like a trainwreck of a ride these past couple of years.

Look, let's put a little perspective on this. It's one thing to lower the price of a product six months after its release. But two months? I just bought my iPhone less than a month ago. It's the 4Gb version, and I paid $499 for it. Damn right I'm just a wee bit peeved. Will I get over it? Sure. Will I still buy Apple products? Sure. But let me add this: if Apple did take care of us early adopters with some kind of credit or gift certificate, my loyalty quotient would go up exponentially. Apple should do something to make amends. It's the right thing to do. Prove that they do indeed Think Different.
