2015 VMAs: Best And Worst Moments

What happens at the VMAs definitely doesn't stay at the VMAs.

2015 VMAs: Best And Worst Moments

Everyone's favorite questionable, thought-provoking, fashion train wreck, and constant "Wait, did that just really happen?" awards show just aired. That's right, the annual Video Music Awards (VMAs) were held on MTV on August 30 in Los Angeles. Didn't see it live? You can catch up on all the big hits and misses here.

SPOILER ALERT: TSwift killed it (as usual) throughout the entire show (except her acceptance outfit for Blank Space).


BEST

Taylor Swift's new music video for "Wildest Dreams." Not only is her male co-star really cute (bonus points), she can pull off the dark hair really well.

Kanye West. I chose to put him in the best section simply because it was one of the weirdest acceptance speeches I've ever heard. I haven't been the world's biggest Kanye fan, but he was honored at the awards with the Video Vanguard award. His award speech was one of the most interesting I've heard in a while, and had a good point, but dragged on for a while, and I don't really know where he was going. But still... it's Kanye (for president 2020).


Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift's duo. Now you can idolize them, together.

Kanye, John Legend, Big Sean winning the category for best song with a message with "One Man." Not only is it a great song, but it also recognizes that sometimes there's a serious message behind the lyrics.


WORST

Miley Cyrus's outfits. Yes, Miley, we love you, but at a certain point, what you wear is really way too over the top.

Justin Bieber's performance. He hasn't been on the MTV stage in five years, and he definitely let people down. The dancing was okay, but the dancers were off at some points. You could also tell when he was actually singing versus the auto-tuned version of himself.

Iggy Azalea and Demi Lovato's duo. I thought Demi was performing fairly well except for the fact that she was over-sexualizing every body movement, but she and Iggy just did not have good chemistry on stage.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
