AP’s music writer, Nekesa Mumbi Moody had little good to say about MTV’s Music Awards. In fact, it was 99 percent bad news reviews.

I guess it did make one long for the old Michael Jackson days. But Moody was just in too bad a humor to even recall those times fondly. Instead, the zingers continued with “The lack of outrageousness almost made you long for the days when Michael Jackson was making out with Lisa Marie Presley - that was creepy, but at least it kept viewers talking.”

Creepy? What was so creepy about that? That dip still looks pretty classy to me.

Then, why not reflect on where was the high drama and fun of the MTV awards when MTV awarded Michael Jackson Best Dance Video for “Scream,” Best Choreography for “Scream,” Best Art Direction for “Scream?” How about Best Song In A Movie for “Will You Be There?” Or when the Video Vanguard Award was renamed “The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award?” Or when “Thriller” walked away with the title of greatest music video of all time? And, remember 1984, when Thriller walked away with the show, taking Best Overall Video, Best Choreography and the Viewer’s Choice Award.

But we understand. It’s tres chic to be jaded and oh so bored.

Thanks, Edith, for bringing this to our attention.
