Really quick she sent the message back that she feels bad for them but she is SO happy to be there. She looks really good and VERY happy.

I just turned it on EXACTLY at the moment they were interviewing Jun!! 7:15 EST...She looked wonderful her hair, and her black dress w/shawl. A big burly guy (probably her body guard) stood by her! How cool it must be to be there!!!!!

Are you all on the east coast? Do you know what time on the west coast?

Pre-show starts at 6:30 on the west coast... Jun's appearance should be around 7:12.

How could they keep people from yelling stuff out at her?? or keeping people from holding up signs about BB?? Did anyone notice if people were around her?

I would think that she would be the last person that people were there to see. I think BB is safe

I agree Carigsby - this was announce by CBS less then 24 hours before she appeared. All those fans either already bought their tickets, or were already in-line to get in. They weren't there to see Jun.

IMO Jun in particular really won't be corrupted by outside influence. There are no secrets in the house that she doesn't know. I don't think she would easily be swayed by anyone's opinion.

lol Kelli... I was just saying to my husband that I am really starting to feel old. I remember when Madonna performed "Like a Virgin" on the VMAs 20 years ago.

I know how you feel Tera. My husband and I were talking earlier about how we use to enjoy MTV and the awards and we were talking about Madonna too. Seems like not that long ago. Time does fly!

I was just wondering, Does anyone know exactly when Jun was on the VMA's? Was she on the actual award show, or was it just the pre-show? Could you tell me like what part she was after? Thanks!

Kellirippa. I think that "yall chill, yall ite" would translate to regular language as "Have a good time everybody,okay?". Yall=you all Chill=sit back and relax ite=Alright.

Dancer, she was on the pre show, about 30 minutes in. I didn't see her on the actual award show.

I saw her at about 7:10pm EDT on the preshow. Her 'interview' was about two sentances long, but still fun. I didn't watch the actual awards.

Sounds like the HGs only saw Jun during the preshow as well. Said all they saw was 'an arrow' pointing to where she was in the audience, but didn't actually see Jun durning the show. (I imagined something like a football game analysis arrow - we'll see on the next TV show.)

Thanks for the explanation Highdesertgal! I figured out the first half of that, but the second half of that had me stumped. Dangit, it sucks to be old and out of it.

I TiVo'd the award show and just watched it (since my cable internet was down.) After watching the show (and thankfully being able to fast forward through much of it), I realize that I am no longer within the target demographic for the folks at MTV.

First, who were half those performers? Never heard of them. Justin Timberlake won Best Video of the Year!? (Johnny Cash should've won.) And, I have to agree about some of the talk. I so did not understand it.

Who'd think that at age 34 one would be too old for MTV. LOL!

(I will say, I, too, watched Madonna perform Like A Virgin those many years ago. That's one you never forget. It was fun seeing her in the opening act.)

Those of us old enough to remember the first VMA are much too old for this one. The music industry and MTV in particular is so entrenched in big business it barely plays videos by new artists. If they didn't have a request show I doubt they would ever play videos by emerging artists and the viewers would be subjected to (and mostly are, anyway) the songs by 50 Cent, whose song -- In Da Club -- was bleeped more often than Robert would be during one of his tirades, lol.

And I like the song, great beat and I'm no prude, but the misogyny on display in most of the rap lyrics really does make one wonder. And, more importantly, you see the young women singing every word. It is a sad reality. Who would have thought 20 years ago you'd see Madonna on stage singing and doing a faux-lesbian act, haha. I wonder if the popular female singers can sing as well when they are fully clothed?

I've really tried to stick with MTV (still watch Real World) and my cable doesn't provide MTV2. So, I've switched to MuchMusic and VH1.

That said, I'm glad for Jun, she looked terrific and I hope she had a great time. And, CBS achieved their goal by manipulating some of us to watch this shameful parade of mostly marginal talent.

I missed it myself and I wasn't happy about that. Out of the houseguests who got to go I was so glad to see Jun get the special treatment. She deserves it more the Ali and the guys, Erika would have been my next choice to get it. Go Jun!!!!!

Interesting read Braken. It seems contradictory that MTV is both neither good for us 'oldies' in our thirties, yet apparently does not play new music either. On the surface it makes one wonder what they are playing, but I get what you are saying.

I for one am so completely far out of the loop, your example does not even convey any meaning to me. Prior to tonight, I was not aware there was a band named 50 cent, or that their music might be a sign that something was wrong at MTV.

On the other hand, what I did get is the misogyny connection. It was interesting to see the comic segment with the puppet yelling "b1tches and ho's" repeatedly. I immediately thought of Robert.

Oh well, pop culture and modern music trends outside of some funky trance stuff I've stumbled across like bolo completely lost me years ago. I'll take half the the blame for never really being committed to it in the first place. I am and always have been anything but trendy, it always seemed like to much work to invest in mindless trivia on a conveyor to me.

Having said that, I did manage to amuse myself with the first hour or so of the program before I got distracted by something else.
