Do you care?

The 2011 Video Music Awards

So, the MTV VMAs aired last night. Did you watch? (I didn’t. I was too busy watching Jersey Shore beforehand and then thinking about it afterward. Maybe.) Now listen, are the VMAs even relevant, post MTV glory days (when music videos still mattered a lot)? One certain pop singer seems to think they’re past their prime.

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine made headlines when he tweeted this on Saturday:
“the VMA’s. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. f**k you VMA’s.”

And on that note, here’s who took home a Moonman last night:
