During The VMA Party Was The Hotel Room Party

The performances at last night's VMAs were certainly inconsistent. The show kicked off with Britney's lackluster (Scared? Self-conscious? Nonchalant? I can't decide - check it out here) performance and then seemed like it wasn't going to pick up. While I appreciate the nonstop party idea they were going for with all the party suites, I missed all the big performances. That being said Rihanna/Chris Brown, Alicia Keys and Justin/Nelly Furtado/Timbaland were pretty awesome. Seriously, little Mr. Brown has some MOVES! Dayum. The rest of the performances seemed odd, being in hotel rooms and all. Or maybe I was just jealous I wasn't right there as Kanye sang Stronger. What did you think? Highlights? Lowlights?
