They were seriously the only thing worth watching. The Rac's were hot!!! The vma's had a lot going on but it felt amateur. I saw Jack give his wife a kiss during the show it broke my heart but she looks good considering she's just had a baby and had a rad dress on. I can't wait to see scarlet photo's anyone seen any around? i was there !!!!!!!!!!!i got to stand and watch in the pit! They were seriously the only thing worth watching. The Rac’s were hot!!!

("i watched. now i feel even less hopeful for the future of humanity") on the whole thing, it's honestly a blatant display of everything that's wrong with popular music. by the way, the performances of level and steadyasg on the overdrive site are pretty long with a bunch of extra solos and stuff. worth checking out. i’m pretty sure jack white was hating the whole thing. i can’t really blame for frowning through jack black’s jokes (and even through his own performances), even though the racs are supposedly the only band of the evening black respected. as for the black/white joke, i thought it was awesome and maybe jw takes himself takes himself too seriously if he cant accept a little poke like that.

The show, itself, was of course a joke but they were totally doing what they always do and they didn't change themselves at all for it. It was fine. Jack White is the fucking man. And plus, if I had to play an entire show just for Jesse McCartney fans at a chuck e. cheese or something as long as I could play white light white heat with lou reed, I would totally do it. I don't care if hes older now and not as bisexual. The racs deffinitely didn’t lose anything by playing that show.

They got to play with Lou Reed and Billy Gibbons not to mention free airtime. Maybe JW was caught off guard by JB. He looked like he was about to say something before the camera cut away again.

He was definitely not playing along. Maybe he was fed up with the lameness of the whole thing, knowing that JB did not "just realize" the simularity of their names, having done a similiar intro to the White Stripes back at the 2002 MTV movie awards ("His name's Jack White, my names Jack Black. Coincidence? How about total cosmic convergence..."). If I were Jack, I would've regretted my involvement in the show before the Rac's first performance though.

The Raconteurs should be boycotting such events as it won't do their credibility any good. Then again I guess a little bit of exposure here & there helps with record sales. Take Care. ;) Hi Laura,

White Stripes please come back-remember what jack said-"the white stripes are not MTV material" well the raconteurs are not either. They really cheapened themselves.
