The 2006 VMAs kick off tonight at Radio City Music Hall. Glad the show came back to NYC!

The Show
The performances this year was lackluster. I expected more from Beyonce and Christina Aguilera. Hype Williams tribute was THE night's fun and memorable performance! I thought since the VMAs are back in the city it'll be worthwhile but it came up short!
