[Here is a better version of that pic](http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20030829/capt.1062117329.mtv_awards_nyr132.jpg). It was cheap how they cut to Justin, and we missed half of M’s kiss with Christina though. I’ve always preferred brunettes. ---

It was a pleasant surprise but I’m a bit miffed that Christina and Britney didn’t kiss as well. Boo! ---

Heh, I bet if it was a 45 year old man who was kissing Britney, we’d be hearing a lot more people saying ‘Ew’. ---

Had to watch the replay of the VMA opening. Yessir, that was something else. The rest of the show? Eh… I kinda got sick of seeing the same people up on stage over and over and over (50 cent, Timberlake, Missy). I wanted to see the White Stripes win one. They got robbed by Linkin Park in rock video. I was glad to see Coldplay win for best group video, though. Will I ever outgrow this crap? 🙂 Happy ---

Why the heck did they cut to Justin?! We missed the M-on-X kiss! Was it so freaking hot that the east-coasters got it and I didn’t? Please forgive my one and only interrobang usage. ---

Johnny Cash losing against those batch of morons got me kind of steamed up, too. But… Madonna kissed Christina and Britney. I mean, I think we can be happy at that. ---

You all have no idea how it pleases me to know that Madonna is bringing Dopers so much joy. And wood. I bet it was her idea, that scamp! And now we know why J Lo pulled out. Because, you know, she only pretends she kisses girls as long as she ends up with a Big Strong Man[sup]TM[/sup] in the end. Is it hardwood? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Queen Bee \* > \*\*you know what they say: any publicity is good publicity. > > snore. \*\* I agree, what a snore. I find it hard to believe anyone finds this especially exciting. I mean jeez, bug deal. Madonna’s kissed more girls than most of the guys who post to these boards. Then again, that probably explains why they find it so exciting. ---

How long into the show was this? I wanna catch it in the replay, but I’d rather not watch the whole damn thing. ---

I’m fairly sure, from my viewings (3, thanks to TiVo and the rebroadcast) that it was **Britney** who initiated the tongue involvement, not Madge. Timberlake’s reaction was really priceless, sort of like “That’s so not right.” but in the post-show interview he admitted that his reaction was really “Why isn’t that me?” Methinks poor boy is still carrying a tiny little torch. Between the opening sapphic show, happening Duran Duran tribute moment, Johnny Cash winning an award (given during the pre-show, but still) and Coldplay’s performance, this is the best VMA show in about a dozen years. Damn, MTV got one right. Took long enough. ---

Damn, MTV got one right. Took long enough. \*\* They should have acknowledged Cash’s pre-show award more than they did…which I’m not sure they even acknowledged. The only person there giving him tribute was Timberkale, who said Cash deserved the award, not him.
