Yes, passing over Kate for any Madonna video, particularly that
Madonna video, was an extreme lapse in taste.  I'd hesitate to say
there was any taste there in the first place for there to be a lapse
in, except for the well-deserved recognition accorded to Peter
Gabriel.  This demonstrated more taste that I'd have ever given those
guys credit for.  And, really, what do you expect from a station which
calls "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi the number one video of
all time?

Except for the female video award mentioned above, and the
cinematography award to Robbie Nevill (sp?) for "C'est La Vie", I
wasn't too shocked or disappointed in anything I saw that night,
except for the completely indecipherable jumble which constituted
Prince's second song.  Oh, well, at least he was actually playing
live...
