If it’s any one who could deliver the most outrageous and jaw-dropping award show of the year, it has to be MTV. Not that I’m singing the channel’s praises just because. I’m saying this because it’s simply the gospel since 1984.

Case in point – The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Kanye West unexpectedly earning the “Jerk Of The Year” award by crushing a little lamb like Taylor Swift to tears, Madonna delivering a moving Michael Jackson speech and a fitting tribute by Janet Jackson, the limelight hogging Lady Gaga spurting blood, Muse and Green Day bringing the house down and Beyonce showing the world she is afterall, one of the top divas with superb class and grace. The red carpet has its moments too, with various stars arriving in style. Pink with her fire truck, 3OH!3 with their roses, Taylor Swift in a horse-drawn carriage. Those are the reasons why the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards is wholly all encompassing – It’s of mayhem, chaos, shocks, fairy tales and undeniably rock ‘n’ roll!
