Dearest music friends, I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of all the hootin’ and hollerin’ about stars like Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Pink and Taylor Swift — all nominated for Best Female Music Video at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Kanye West took things a little bit too far when he jumped onstage and stole Taylor Swift’s winning thunder by pimping out Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” as the deserved winner. What was he thinking?!! It’s time for you to step down, Mr. West. Here’s who really should have won Best Female Music Videos of 2009. Mainstream music, you can SUCK IT!
Top 5 Music Countdown: Best Female Music Videos of 2009 (IMHO)!
5. Merrill Beth Nisker AKA Peaches
For being so self-assured in her extreme weirdness! You’re truly an inspiration, P.
4. Karin Dreijer Andersson better known as Fever Ray
For making it really hard to see what the hell is going on in this video and for your obsession with bizarre face masks!
3. Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
For being a genuine rockstar and a great performer with impeccable wardrobe changes!
2. Natasha Khan aka Bat For Lashes
For being a lover of fairies and all things small and fantastical!
1. Felicia Day of The Guild
“Do You Want to Date My Avatar?”
For being smart and cute and funny and geeky… and for being a potential Slayer. You rock!
If you haven’t seen The Guild you really should check it out. It’s a wonderful internet-based sitcom about a group of online gamers. And get this, you don’t even have to be a gamer to enjoy it!
