Last Sunday, the 28th of August the MTV-VMA 2011 Awards aired and it was exciting to watch, as usual. But, some performances were what I would call mediocre (not calling out names) and some artists took it to the next level. I'm going to show video of the performances I thought were pretty outstanding to very good.
First off, the best performance of VMA 2011 was the dance by Chris Brown. He really did not come to sing. It was a Modern Dance, folks. This young man is outstanding! He has his "trademark" moves and choreographed his creation to near perfection! "Michael Jackson" would be proud. Of course, Chris Brown has forever tarnished his legacy in some people's eyes for punching Rihanna. We don't know what all happened that fateful night, but there is no excuse for his past action. However, he asked for forgiveness and has tried to go on with his life and entertain millions with his tremendous talent. It was a joy to watch him perform! Check it out below:
The next great performance at the VMA awards was by a young woman with a powerful voice! She has a voice we have been missing, lately. Her name is
Adele. Check out her singing, below. If you close your eyes while she sings, you will have a peaceful feeling all over your body:
Bruno Mars' tribute to the late Amy Winehouse was well done:
I'm sure you've heard that Beyonce announced on the "Black Carpet" before the show started that she is "with child." Beyonce and Jay-Z are expecting their first child. Some say this is no big surprise since Beyonce has said many times that she wanted to have a baby by the time she turned 30-years-of-age. She sang "Love on Top." I love Beyonce's energy, but don't care too much for that song. Check out what she does at the end of her performance:
