2013 MTV VMA's - A Look Back At The Night's Craziest Moments

Well the 2013 MTV VMA's was interesting to say the least. Just for your information, we'll be talking about the craziest and the best moments of this year's video music awards, including a whole segment about whatever Miley Cyrus was trying to achieve with her erm, 'performance' and the opener, Lady Gaga, as well as Katy Perry, the *NSYNC reunion with all the JT goodness and the ever so creepy performance from Thicke and Cyrus. 

Moment 1: The opening performance from Lady Gaga.

Gaga returns to the stage in a mash-up of her previous looks and performances with her new single Applause and it's a suitable return to the stage for the music artist. Gaga starts her performance off with a wide-shot of her beady-eyed face singing from her track Aura beautifully, switching from her usual crazy singing to a falsetto that really kicked off the start of the VMA's. It was like a quick-change gone wild, with Gaga changing into 5 outfits including a blue-sequined jacket, face paints, clamshell bra and flower-esque underwear. 

Overall Gaga looked great, she sang most of it live apart from when she clearly ran out of breath from dancing (who can really blame her?) and she garnered appropriate 'applause' from the audience. 

Moment 2: The Smith Family's reaction to Miley Cyrus' performance.

I mean really, this was priceless. Do I need to say anymore? Incase you're wondering what they're reacting to, see Moment 3 below. 

Moment 3&4: Miley Cyrus' individual performance + added Robin Thicke.

I'm going to try and keep this as simplistic as possible. I can only assume Cyrus was trying to show how much she's changed and (forcibly) ram this version down our throats as much as possible. All I could manage to think whilst she was 'doing her thing' was how uncomfortable the whole affair was and how much I just wanted everything to stop. Miley was dressed in a bear-esque swimsuit whilst she 'danced' around the stage at an award show where young and old audiences were watching. Oh dear lord. I'm definitely putting 'please make Cyrus put her tongue back inside her mouth' on this year's christmas list. Everything about this performance just screamed wrong and if you needed any more proof or you just wanted to potentially traumatise yourself again, here are some glorious gifs of this whole bizarre affair. 

I have no words for this particular one, and can someone please tell me what the whole foam finger thing was about?

And as you can see, just to make everything even worse, we had the 'makes-my-skin-crawl Robin Thicke' in his black and white pin stripe suit singing his completely overrated song and dancing with Cyrus. If you can call it dancing. It's safe to say this was my least favourite moment of the night but most definitely the craziest. 

Moment 5: *NSYNC Reunion with JT leading it.

Justin Timberlake who won the award for Video of the Year with 'Mirrors' and received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award as well. Then good ol' JT hit the stage and performed songs such as Cry Me A River and Take Back the Night and then what a surprise, his former band members from *NSYNC took to the stage and performed classics like Bye Bye Bye. 

Moment 6: Everyone got riled up about T-Swizzle saying the following.

Moment 7: Katy Perry's closing performance. 

Perry closes the VMA's with her performance of her new track Roar dressed in boxing gear complete with leopard sports bra and satin shorts with fire print. 

I think it's safe to say that the VMA's certainly 'roared' with a infusion of sequins, colour, twerking and horrifying/hilarious gifs and pictures that we will truly remember for at least the next week or so. So all in all, did the VMAs deliver for you? What was your best/worst moment?
