2001 Video Music Awards
Hey kiddos! I (Liv) decided to take a different approach to this review. Instead of the usual, I'm posting the IM between me and Emily, from our sista site, Giddy Up and Get Down. We sat at our computers chatting from preshow to post show commentating on all the action as it happened. So you're getting our inital and honest reactions, from the swooning to the squealing. You can tell who's who, but note that additonal comments are in [orange].
Olive: =P
Olive: Our boys aren't THAT bad as far as
wardrobe. lol [They improved 100% from last year.]
Em: no they're not at all!!!
Em: wow...Jamie Fox is doing a really good job so
far!1
Olive: lolol...I really liked that whole thing he did
with all the artists' names.q
Olive: I'm still voting! [The two of us were voting since the start of the preshow.]
Em: yeah me too!!
Em: I am too!!
Em: LOLOL
Em: between us there has to have been like i don't
know how many votes
Olive: Seeing them in suits...that fuled the fire. It's
on now. I'm voting as fast as I can.
Olive: I'm finding that it's faster if I use Internet
Explorer by itself to vote. [Take note of this tip for next year!]
Em: ohh that's cool
Olive: I loved JLo's salsa! lol
Em: yeah!! that was awesome...!!
Em: she's an awesome dancer
Olive: I'm all teary eyed...

Olive: *cries*
Em: damn it!! why did they not CALLLL!!!!!!! [She's referring to the *NJEF scrapbook, in which the Jaded crew included our addresses and phone numbers. We'd figure one of them would call, particularly Chris, but in all honesty, we don't think they ever saw our project.]
Em: LMAO
