Beyonce boogies
Once the New Moon mania calmed, Beyonce took the stage with an interesting take on Single Ladies. Interesting is a kind word to describe the dancing-while-a-recording-of-Beyonce-plays-the-song performance.
Performance-wise, the next band took the VMA award for best performance of the night. Muse rocked a theater near Radio City Music Hall where a packed crowd sang along with every word of Uprising.
Muse’s masterful Uprising at the VMAs
Pink went Sober hanging above the crowd and then New Yorks finest jammed to close the show as no one else could. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys jammed New York that had the entire Radio City crowd spellbound and screaming.
