It wasn’t easy to concentrate on the groundbreaking performances at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night. We found ourselves either celebrating the life of Michael Jackson or wanting to beat the daylights out of Kanye West.

But, let’s get back to the music, shall we?

In case you missed it, here are Poison Ivy’s top two performances of the evening: a manic, blood-infused version of “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga, and an acrobatic, nail-biting rendition of “Sober” by Pink.

Janet Jackson, Madonna Celebrate Michael Jackson at VMAs

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards began with a bang: a very poignant bang that included a monologue by Madonna about the legacy of Michael Jackson.

“Michael Jackson was a human being, but he was a king,” Madonna said, during her closing lines. “Long live the king.”

Those sentiments were echoed throughout the night, and specifically a few minutes later, when sister Janet Jackson emerged with her own dance crew for a high-energy performance of “Scream” that synced with the music video of MJ dancing behind her.

The night also ended with Jackson in mind, as MTV left us with a two-minute preview for his “This is It” concert film, composed of footage from the tour that never happened.
