I didn't grow up with cable and this was the first VMA performance I ever saw and it was intense!

Britney and Madonna just copied t.A.T.u from a few months before... YAWN.

ew they were all sick and i hated them all im not a fan of these stunts. cuz most of them are just overrated and sick anyway. however i do liked that awards show wen 50 cent got mad @ Evanescence when he lost the grammy to them then amy was like "thanks fifty" cuz he walked off stage. i think it was the grammys lol now that was entertaining

None of these for sure. I can't remember any that sticks out into my head. Swp2885 I can't stand Marilyn Manson but unfornuately I do find myself liking some of his songs even though they are demonic.

*unfortunately

Eminem and his clones were my favourite but I love Britney and the snake too.

What about the Tatu performance including a hundred school girls making out?

I think that'd be more scandalous to American audiences then Madonna giving Britney a kiss.

I loved Eminems performance , he can be an ass most of the time but he`s still cool .

Brit w\ the snake was good too .

Tatu is sick , can`t stand those freaks

Madonna's "Like a virgin" perf was 1993?? I thought it was a lot older than that, like 1987??!

britney and snake.. britney and madonna kiss was reallly nice too!! everyone was shocked.. ill never forget justin's face hahhaha they zoomed in on him too!!

BRITNEY.... either or. I was too young for the like a virgin but i heart madonna and it was cool

britney performing in the nude sparkling outfit to opps i did it again. Was classic.
I miss old britney.

I gotta say Britney and Madonna was the most memorable for me. And a whole load of people!!

Britney & the snake!

Adam Yauch storming the stage after the Beastie Boys lost to REM for best Direction.
Seriously...Everybody Hurts is better than SABOTAGE!?

Nirvana playing the intro to Rape Me, I'm pretty sure the show's producers had a heart attack. I remember thinking there's no way they are going to show this.

I think mine has to be Xtina performing with Fred Durst!

Rage Against the Machine

LoL XTina must love that people forget she kissed Madonna too ha ha ha ha ha

I loved with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog annoyed Eminem and begged to sniff J Lo's butt because for a dog it is the Mount Everest of butts.

I loved Britney's Oops performance -- I too, miss the good ol' days.

I'm pretty sure Madonna performed that in 1983. Maybe you just made a typo.

mmmm, prince in yellow with the butt cut-out was pretty hot....
and that madonna was 83, not 93. we're a decade off.

i do think, though, that the vma's might be more relevant from a channel that actually showed videos.....

was howard stern's appearance at the movie awards of the video awards?

loved the rage stunt, if only to see the rest of the band going all *facepalm* and embarassed when they usually try to be such hardasses. also loved britney with the snake and eminem's army. oh frick, i loved 'em all.

how to choose?? they're all nutty!

Brit and Madonna

I personally like it when celeb's snap or loose it... Courtney Love starting a fight with Madonna, Fiona Apple's "acceptance speech" lecture, the Rage stunt, Eminem getting PO'd at Triumph, Kanye flipping out because he didn't win last year (and flipping out yet again at tonight's show backstage) etc. This year's fight between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock was pretty interesting. You can see the clip on the MTV web site. I don't watch the VMA's anymore, its not as great as it used to be so I just watch the little clips online after it is over.

Diddy's 2002 performance featuring Usher, Busta and Pharrel

Michael Jackson's "surprise" guest dance on Nsync's pop performance. The place went nuts.

Did you guys know that Ta.tu. aren't even bi/lesbian?!? It was all for publicity. (rolling eyes)

I have my own top craziest moments, none were listed on this post. So here goes

Prince in 1991 performing "gett off" in a yellow suit, turns around and GASP the suit is missing its Arse part, and princes tight little buns are showing

Axl Rose challenging curt cobain to a fight on air

Howard stern floating in as Fart Man

Courtney love tossing a compact at madonna when Kurt loder was interviewing her

Micheal Jackson getting a birthday congrats from Britney spears, her saying "and here is the artist of the millenium" and him...thinking he just got the award for "artist of the millenium" proceeds to thank everyone for it!
