VMAs, Throw Missy a Frickin' Bone Here
Entertainment
Jennifer Lopez has been announced as the recipient of this year’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards, which is a real triumph for beautiful women with thin voices dancing well under green lasers and on stoops.
How silly. Everyone knows Missy Elliott deserves the lifetime achievement award for turning out the kind of video work that’s been routinely indelible enough that their visuals project in your mind’s eye, any time you hear their respective songs. The term “eye-popping” was invented to eventually describe Missy Elliott videos. This is not an argument, though it has been made repeatedly as every year’s Video Vanguard announcement is received with dismay from people on the internet with sense.
