MTV Video Music Awards 2014: performance e vincitori

Gli MTV Video Music Awards sono stati aperti da una tripla performance di Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj e Jessie J in Break Free / Anaconda / Bang Bang e chiusi da un medley di oltre diciotto minuti di Beyoncé.
Nel mezzo?
Poco e nulla.
Dall'esibizione di Sam Smith a quella dei Maroon 5 nel parcheggio dietro l'angolo, fino a quella inutile dei 5 Seconds Of Summer e quella ridicola di Taylor Swift.
Unica cosa positiva?
Le mille gif animate che usciranno in questi giorni di Taylor Swift che balla durante il medley di Beyoncé.
Sembrava un insetto stecco scoordinato con un parrucchino biondo.

Per quanto riguardano i premi trovo giustissima la premiazione di Wrecking Ball come video dell'anno, imbarazzante quella di Lord nella categoria "Rock" e molto tenera quella di Beyoncé premiata da Jay-Z e Jay-Z Junior.
Anche se beh.
Miglior coreografia Partition?
Eddai.
