I don't like MTV. Never really have, and not to mention the fatc that their commercials breaks are like 16 minutes long each. I hardly ever watch music channels in general.

dude that went away a long time ago... I remember watching that show..

MTV went to the dogs the moment they stopped being about music. MTV is dedicated to music and we only get to see what, some music videos at the crack of dawn and 30 secs of each on TRL?

Just let it burn. Keep the website though, that's good.

MTV should realize music isn't only hip-hop, rappers, etc.

I only watch South Park on MTV. The rest is pretentious toss (I used to be obsessed with MADE though )

To give it it's due though, MTV did create the idea's behind the Music video's/PV's we have today. There was no need for Storylined video's pre-MTV.

Yea...I was a MADE fan for a moment. lol

Some videos they do have, have a creative story line to them. They have come along way since ...Baby One More Time era which is what I miss. Now in most videos, its all about gadgets, cars, women. and money....how original!

[Weslicious]

^^^Noooooooooo, I mean the whole idea of Music Video's as a form of song promotion. MTV paved the way for Music Video's to reach the masses.
Before MTV there was no channel that exclusively played Music Video's.

I'll just stick to good old Much Music over here in Canada^^ I get lives, Music vids, movies, other laughable shows =D I only watch MTV for The Hills ^^ I love seeing rich white girls

The VMA's were a joke this year, they took away almost all the awards that judged the videos themselves, now it's just a popularity contest (more than ever). I remember as a kid I used to be so excited to watch the VMA's. The performances were garbage, the whole show was trashy, and it even seemed low budget.

Dude, I saw the BET Awards this year, they weren't even that bad. It wasn't all about hip-hop and partying, it was very classy, and they payed a lot of homage to older music.

MTV is just trashy.

C'mon though, have you seen MTV Japan's playlist? They play plenty of Western thug rap and emo rock for a Japanese TV channel, but I guess it'd be like that anywhere in the world. At least MTV Japan does play videos, and some very good artists are on their playlists sometimes.

[Dustie]

I enjoy some of the shows, like Real World, Laguna/Newport, The Hills, (OH-THE-DRAMA-shows xD) but these could have been on any other cable TV, I guess. Some of their shows should have never been greenlit though, and yes, there should be a lot more music videos.

MTV was on a low budget this year due to fact of low viewship or ratings. Go figure. I agree with u about the BET awards. It wasn't bad at all. It was very classy. My fave awards was the the BET 2005! On man, they had Destiny Child, Will and Jade and just so much more. That award show was really really good! MTV on the on the other hand... They had to much rock bands, too Hip-hop artists and too much fighting and arguing in one show.

I despise American music, so I'm happy as all get out MTV doesn't show music videos anymore. I love the Hills, the Real World, and they brought me my favorite T.V show next to the Colbert Report and Stargate - Viva La Bam!!!!

[Luv ~Venus~]

Not all Amercian music is bad. It's just that it's too much hip-hop going on right now!

[xiaou-xijiang]

^The music you're thinking of is not hip hop. hip hop has roots, hip hop has culture. Hip Hop hasn't been played on MTV since forever. what you're thinking of is something that branched off from hip hop and turned into something ugly. Maybe they're right, maybe hip hop is dead.

[Luv ~Venus~]

Well, maybe we should call it Generic Hip-hop!

Either way around, hip-hop is dead. No matter how much Jay-Z or Nas or LL Cool J (I'm them as an example of how much they contribute to the genra) put out...hip-hop will never be the same!!! For peak sake, they made a big DEAL out the 50 and Kanye battle!

[Larisa-chan]

Haha, people still watch MTV in the Us? *laugh*

[Luv ~Venus~]

Britney was the reason why I loved MTV!

You all act like Rap killed MTV. IMO, all of those stupid a** shows killed it, and MTV 2 has a lot more than just rap music. They have a lot of metal. The only music MTV doesn't seem to play is country.
