[edit] VH1 Brazil

The article about VH1 says that Vh1 Soul stopped being available in Brazil, I 'm from Brazil and Vh1 Soul in avaliable in the most of cable tv's here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.100.19.174 (talk) 03:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WTF?

September 11th is, historically, a date synonymous with tragedy.

Beside the innumerable tragedies and acts of imperialism on the world stage attributed to this date, September 11th is notoriously bad for America. For example:

1857 - The Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah 1919 - The US invades Honduras 2001 - The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon

and VERY tragically…

1970 - The Ford Pinto is introduced

Even Hollywood has been marred by this date. In 1921 Fatty Arbuckle was arrested for rape and then subsequently acquitted, although his career never recovered.

And now the coup de gras of all national and Hollywood tragedies proceeds tomorrow when "What Perez Sez" premieres on VH1.

God knows why shit-talking has become the leitmotif of E! and VH1, but with the introduction of an entire show centered around a talentless hack, it doesn't show any signs of changing.

Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. (AKA Perez Hilton) has made his career waiting for miniscule celebrity screw-ups on which to inflate and then build his own reputation to make up for a failed career that actually would have required some sort of talent. Even the name, "Perez Hilton", is a novelty hack on the name of a talentless bitch that Lavandeira wishes he could be.

I'm not defending the celebrities Lavandeira skewers. Britney certainly wasn't in professional form. The VMA's certainly did suck all around. They sucked so bad that Alicia Keys finally had the chance to shine amidst more glamorous and popular hedonistic hollywood elitists (not to downplay the incredible performance by Chris Brown). Where I take issue with Lavandeira and his gossip predecessors, is that he is symptomatic of the plague that has infected the American psyche. We tune in to gossip shows to catch a glimpse of celebrities embarrassing themselves. The tabloids exist for this premise alone. Lavandeira is just the latest head popping up out of the hydra stump of gossip columnists who masquerade as being authorities on any topic. The most puke-inducing part of their form of celebrity is the undeserved air of accomplishment they take on. People take offense to the biased ramblings of puppet pundits like Anne Coulter, but we should truly be more concerned with the very existence of the phoney gossip elite. At least Coulter has an educated bias on real matters.

Funny enough, Lavandeira knows where his meals come from. He made the ludicrous claim that Britneys performance was disrespectful to MTV (Which owns VH1). Seriously dude, MTV is responsible, more than anyone else, for the destruction of any artistic merit in music today. They destroyed music so badly that it's hard to actually find music on Music Television, anymore.

How sad is it that after all is said and done, Justin Timberlake is the one with class amongst all these celebrities that are little more than persistent protoplasm? Do you realize how ridiculous that is? Justin Timberlake! He simultaneously paid homage to the great performers that preceded him while humbly acknowledging the talent displayed after Browns performance. Seriously folks! I feel violated acknowledging this.

Well Mario, good luck with your show. I'm sure the public can't wait for you to out another gay man who just wants to be left alone. We'll be watching with baited breath as you attack celebrity fashion choices that you couldn't afford (although judging by many of your photos, you're in no place to talk). And, of course, we can't wait to hear you criticize performances that you wish you had the gaul, talent, budget, acumen, and/or creativity to do yourself. The viewing audience will be there in their envy and jealousy of the celebrities they pay to hate. I can already hear the sound of billions of neurons dying as their synaptic charges die out. Perhaps your show gives credence to social darwinism. Apparently it's time to thin the herd for humanities survival.

Never mind, you don't need luck with your show. It'll do just fine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.104.24 (talk) 23:41, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Critisism's Page?

Why does Mtv have a critisim section while Vh1 dos'nt? It seem vh1 is guilty of at least half the stuff in the Mtv article...

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.250.130.215 (talk) 21:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC). Does anyone know what the abbr. VH1 stands for? If they do that could be useful for the page.--User:Damnedkingdom

VH-1 stands for Video Hits One.

"Viewers of these programs show most interest in the comments of Michael Ian Black, Hal Sparks and Brad Holland." This looks like weasel words to me. Gritironskillet

VH1 was launched in 1985 not 1986. With the reference "four year old MTV" and the MTV article saying that MTV was launched in 1981 VH1 was launched in 1985. Any questions or comments feel free to send them to my talk page. Heegoop, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think someone should write a little something on the VH1's growing number of countdown shows (i.e 100 most awesomely bad songs...ever, The most awesomely bad metal songs...ever)I know there is a few more but I cant think of them right now Lenore

The descriptions of the channels look like it was just copy and pasted from the VH1 website or something.--Richy 12:26, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VH-1's DOG

It should be noted somewhere in the article that in 1991, VH-1 was the first national US television channel to use a permanent on-screen DOG (so that viewers wouldn't confuse it with MTV). All the other satellite channels followed suit, and nowadays even the terrestrial networks are branded in this way.

[edit] VH1 UK and The Crazy Frog

Is it really that important to mention VH1 UK not playing The Crazy Frog? Hardly seems relevant to me.

[edit] VH1 in Canada

Anyone know why VH1 isn't carried in Canada? Something to do with the CRTC? I miss VH1 :-( Mrtea (talk) 16:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Don't they have MuchMoreMusic up there? Different, but same. Drdr1989 01:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's the CRTC. Instead, they allow MuchMoreMusic to cherry-pick the best of VH1's programming, many months later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.183.51 (talk) 06:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I love the 70s & 80s

I love the 70s aired before I love the 80s. I edited that in the article, if someone wants to clean up my wording that would be fantastic. -- mando 17:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

No, 80s aired before 70s on VH1. This is a VH1 article. Drdr1989 00:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ?

"Pop-Up" television has gone on to become something of a cultural phenomenon, yet created a powerful TV show with people going against this show and The Rock and Michael Jackson appearing on episodes of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, The Drew Carey Show, Brady Bunch reruns on sister Viacom channel Nick at Nite, and even a special episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Um.. huh? What does that even mean?

[edit] I Love the 60's?

I know Vh1 did air 'I love the 70's', 'I love the 80's' & 'I love the 90's' but never 'I love the 60's' because it not have been produced and aired.12.127.178.158 18:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
