The dancers were fantastic.
Janet was fantastic.
However, the crew shooting the tribute should be shot! WTF was wrong with them? They tried to be overly slick and sleek and instead, the whole presentation seemed disjointed and confusing. This is supposed to be the VMAs; long-held filmmaking principles should've been employed, especially when choreography is involved.
Minimal edits, full shots, and maybe long-shots.
This is why current music videos suck - there is no respect for performance; just a masturbatory exercise for the director.
Widescreen/35mm format would've been better.
And the absence of Jermaine and Joe... even better.
