Celebs make up for Gaga's tame VMA look with eccentric outfitsFrom her red lace mask and hat in 2009, to her meat dress in 2010 – it’s no wonder #Whatwillgagawear was trending on Twitter before the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards kicked-off on Sunday night. This time around, Lady Gaga didn’t shock viewers with blood-spattered lingerie, or a hat that wouldn’t make it past airport security. Instead, Gaga donned a pair of black slacks and a white T-Shirt as her musical alter ego, Joe Calderone. Ironically, it was the most street-friendly outfit we’ve seen her sport. But, not to worry, these celebs dressed crazy enough to make up for Gaga’s tamer look:

Perry would have fit in better at a Green Bay LMFAO “Party Rockers,” Redfoo and SkyBlu, sparkled at the VMAs.

I am posting to raise awareness to a comment that was made by the rapper Soulja Boy in a recent song that is starting to cause a major uproar in the military community and needs to be addressed through the public news. Soulja Boy stated in his song Let's Be Real: "F***k the FBI and F***k the Army Troops" As an army wife myself I am very offended and this shouldn't be tolerated. My husband, who is an active duty member of the army, also makes music and has made his own response to the so called artist. You can listen to it and please share it because we need to take a stand and show that this type of behavior is not tolorated. Our troops, who are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters deserve more respect and credit for all that they do! here is the link to his page: http://youtu.be/oyZ_Iug6tUg
yea, I agree they look "alittle" over dressed but fashion is still freedom and creativity. Gosh..... Creativity.......This truly is America. 😉
nice
RG is a comic genius! If you don't like him; you just don't get him. Boo hoo to you!
that just shows the degeneration of today's mtv generation
Katie, I would eat your poo nice and s-l-o-w. Nothing but goodness can come from your wrinkled star.
these poor kids being exposed to this crap.
That's what she said
You only live once
The things you see when you don't have a grenade or six
To bad Slayer didnt crash kanyes and jay-zs performance. the Foo Fighters looked ridiculas being there. way to take one for the team dave. c-mon man!
All of bunch of IDIOTS!
Music needs another revolution! Like rock, punk, heavy metal, rap, alternative and grundge did. I'm waiting for music to step up to the next level.
What would you have them wear? Pant suits?
Jg
to see these kids worship these people like gods. its rediculous to see these kids and young adults sitting on the edge of their seat for someone who can barely speak english (lil wayne) to "sing." or to see thier favorite celeb in a halloween costume.
First off kudos to Adele, her performance was the best of the nite followed by Beyonce's belly rub. While I didnt really mind Gaga's alter ego 'Joe Calderone' I have to say Katy Perry who at a quick glance looked like a giant colorful mouse trap w.that cheese on her head still managed to look ehh, quite eccentric but not totally ridiculous. On the other hand Nicki Minaj was just a complete f***ing mess. She looked like a little girl who was playing dress up in a halloween/costume store w.out parental supervision.
*Yawn* And after I'm done being nonplussed by all the wannabes, I'll offer up the artist responsible for all of their existences: Madonna!
i am the bungler so wacth out
Would you bungle my back door? Then I'd do butt squirts on you.
Who cares?
Can anyone just walk up to a mic and sing without the distraction of the goofy outfits. Now I gotta go play dress up –woo hoo!
Kurt and the 27 club turned the channel!
Artist in the past have been wacky or did or wore weird things because that's who they were or they didn't care what people thought, or maybe that just wanted to be different. Perry, Gaga, and Manaj try to hard at trying to be wacky and its annoying. It's not edgy or different when they just try to top each other in ridiculousness.
you are so right-on. Even the red carpet styles are pretty bad. Thankfully a few people that are really beautiful, Angelina, Haille B, don't need to be whacked out in the ridiculous costumes.
I didn't even bother to watch it.
Perry's "kimono-like dress" isn't anything close to a kimono–if anything it's Chinese. But most Americans are too ignorant to tell the difference.
Well the evolution of MTV good music,arm swinging thugs,to useless reality shows. Pathetic! Maybe try to be a positive influence on society might make you great again.

I like the MTV awards but this year No host, a bunch of whackobs playing dress up, and a drunk Gaga = Stupid. Why the hell was there no host to keep these people in line?
They reminded me of when my dead grandmother crawled up my leg with a knife in her teeth
I thought it was nice for a change that Gaga was more toned down and showcased her talent by staying in character as her male alter ego. Frankly, I liked her as her male alter ego more than her gaga image. Sure, she still went a little bit over the top at times as usual, but at least she was having more fun with it instead of being pretentious as usual (the only thing i didn't like is the cheesy dance number and her pandering to the audience, it's just becoming too obnoxious and typical).
I guess music stopped being about the songs, music and lyrics and became all about who could upstage whom with outrageous clothes right about the same time MTV stopped being about music videos and became focused on people behaving badly via a reality TV audience that spurned them on to do so.
It's pretty sad and pathetic that the only female artist that can stand out solely on her voice and talent is Adele. You don't see her wearing whacky outfits and antics because she doesn't need to. The wacky outfits and stunts that the majority if not all popular female artists do these days not only overcompensates for their lack of personality but also for their lack of talent. The only credit I give to Gaga that at least she has more talent and personality in her middle finger than Niki Manaj and Katy Perry combined, except that just like them, she has to rely on a gimmick and the theatrics for attention, which is sad, because she doesn't need to.
I think that Rebecca Black looked very grown up.
That idiotic brat was there ? Shows how stupid people are for buying into that stupid kind of music and the level of braindeads on MTV to even invite her. So, if you are a teenager, got a 10 word lyric song, and want to be famous, just do a stupid video with your underage no good to drive friends, repeat the lyrics over and over again until everybody knows what an idiot you are, invite a black dude to do a little rap in the middle to copy another idiotic teenager (Bieber), and you'll be famous as hell!
Everybody on this list is lame... They have forgot abou the American anti-music god MARILYN MANSON.....
marilyn manson is a total c-h-o-d-e stroker. He is exactly the same as what most of these comments are about. He tried too hard to be different. TOOOOOOOOOO hard.
Why is it that these days popular female artists have to compete with each other at who can wear the wackiest outfit? Or do the weirdest PR stunt? This is just getting old; that was especially apparent at the VMAs lastnight, seeing one artist do it is cool and refreshing but when you see that every popular female artist (other than Adele) is doing the same wacky costume change routine it gets really annoying and dumb, like watching a child demanding for attention. Katy Perry was trying way way too hard at being "kooky" and "weird" with the stupid childish clothing and the stupid block on her head, and Nicki Manaj's outfit was no different, very pedestrian, very desperate for attention. It's all the more annoying because bottom line, these ladies rest so much on being whacky and weird looking that they show little to no personality. Gaga has some, but she lets her ego and her pandering get in the way. After awhile, it's all too much and too tiring to witness over and over again.
Gaga has a weiner
Get a life everyone. Gaga is gross. Perry is bangable. But is there anything better to focus on?
Gaga divided by perry plus lil weezy equals the degeneration of modern tune. Now. If you'll all excuse me, I'll be jamming out to stefani germanotta's "lovegame"
mtv is no longer producing quality award shows. these celebs looked ridiculous. the award show sucked!
How ridiculous is it for a non music channel to award something they don't have a clue about anymore ? Their programming is garbage, so I guess the so called celebs decided to look like garbage too. I think Stype (from REM) regrets that day when he asked Steven Tyler to put the shutgun he brought away, he would probably use it nowdays to shoot all this garbage to hell !
lmao, so lame
I really liked Lady Gaga's choice of attire. I think it's great that you really NEVER know what to expect from her. I was saying all day before the VMA's that it would be so great if she showed up in jeans and a tshirt just to shock everyone...what she did was WAAAAAAAAY better. Katty Perry and Nicki Minaj, you both look fantastic when you dress right... you don't have the WOW factor by wearing those clothes, you honestly look like you are trying to leech off of someone else's style. I like how Nicki always has crazy wigs but that outfit??? for real????
What do you mean by we don't know what to expect from her? By now, we all know that she will wear some wacky outfit or do some kind of self-serving, pandering antic. Even though we might not know exactly what she will wear, say, or do, we always expect that it will be something over the top. When one does that all the time, it starts to become expected, never a surprise or a shocker, that is, unless she for once actually dressed classy and normal for a change.
I think so too. That person would of stolen the show ~smiling~
Somebody shoulda wore a happy moo cow outfit. It woulda been moootiful. : )
where was the rest of rubiks cube on Katy perrys head... .?
Were we punk'd? Was this VMA for realz or a strange joke against the man??? http://wp.me/p106i6-2Lu
These celeb outfits are getting too extreme. Back in the day you had a couple of people show up at these things looking crazy. This year it was every other person. Nicki Minaj looked like she needed to be committed. Katy Perry looked like she was trying too hard. I find it so funny I must say I'm sick and tired of seeing underwear and sagging pants. I thought the viral song, "Pants on the ground," would have put a stop to it. Guess not. I blame the stupid women who worship these men who can't even pull their pants around their wastes like adults.
Sorry I accidentally erased a part. It's supposed to say I find it so funny that the most recent queen of extreme wardrobe changes at the VMAs, Gaga, wore the same outfit all night. Then on to, "I'm sick and tired..."
Nicki was donning Harajuku fashion! I must say it was pretty beautiful...
Unfortunately the women who worship them typically only worship them for one of two reasons... Money or big _____. Other than that I see no reason for these idiots to be as famous as they are.
....Burp.......Belch.......Throwup!
Eccentric? NO. These celebs are behaving like 4th graders on a field trip seeing who can cause more of a disturbance. Its dumb. Just dumb.
You're firsty, now eat my poo!
The irony of Gaga wearing a simpler and benign outfit while the rest show desparation in their clothes is huge. Gotta give her kudos for knowing when to back off and still appear to be 'edgy' by going neutral.
