MTV Fail: Best?! Choreography.

What happened to the cool choreographies music videos used to have? Did they really disappear when Britney Spears got fat and crazy? Oh, and had those knee surgeries too! (I didn't forget :D )
I mean, now we have Lady Gaga doing the "where did the fly go?" movements to get a nomination just because she's weird, ugly and desperate for attention. Yes, THAT got nominated to best choreography of the year. She can't dance, the 'choreographies' are dumb, there are any cool movements that show any kind of skill at all. Dressing weird shouldn't be a reason to be nominated to that category. Choreographies are about (read carefully) DANCING. Weird, huh?
I keep watching the video and waiting for the choreography that got her nominated.
Another nominee is Britney Spears but, I have to say this, memories shouldn't be nominated either. I mean, goddamn, she could dance back in the day! I seriously believe there was no other girl who would dance like her back then, BUT! those days are long gone. 'Til the World Ends does not have any choreography worthy to be called 'The Best', unlike I'm a Slave 4 U (which is like the "shinny" version of 'Til the World Ends) or like, even the lousy slow pop songs she came up with in her first album had better dancing! (go check Sometimes). I felt like I was watching Christina Aguilera back in the Dirty days... and that's not a good memory.
Then we have Bruno Mars with his Lazy Song, while he's no Justin Timberlake (obviously) nor the chimps are. The song is funny and so is the choreography but I wonder if that's enough to go for a title that should be reserved to the best of the best. The Lazy Song with a lazy choreography of pelvis movement... I'd not give him the nomination but maybe a honorific mention for the... effort?.
Another video I was watching and waiting for the choreography was LMFAO's... really? they got a nomination? Now I see why Gaga got hers. Same technique but inverse. Instead of arms they were kicking and, for around 10 seconds, kicked with a few dancers at the same time but, like Gaga, no real skill required or whatsoever.
If you put all those 4 together agains the 5th nominee, Beyonce, those poor guys have NOTHING. She can dance! (even though I hate the song). She is perfect (specially in comparison with the other 4). Great movements, skill, everything goes amazing with the music and it's not only flapping your arms aimlessly (Lady Gaga) or trying to kill that damn roach desperately (LMFAO's video). She has strength, precision and rhythm (unlike Britney and Bruno).
Seriously, if you can't find any choreography worthy to be called "The Best", don't waste your time and nominate crap just because, you'll do so much better just to announce Beyonce won and that would be it. Or, for that matter, rename it to "Choreography of the Year" and save the Best for the ones who deserve it.
Yes, I said it, and I don't regret it.
