Perfeeect!<3
well the show was AS good as i thought and hoped it would be 
but it wasnt the worst 
definitely was glamorous
wait so what was up with karolina's outfit? so she was supposed to be included in the 'black tie' segment but had a wardrobe malfunction so she couldn't? i felt bad for her, and i don't blame her for telling the camera men to get out, 
anyways i did think adriana did a really great job, i loved that she opened the show again like last year but i think pretty much almost all the oufits were really beautiful
i do think that some models went a little overboard :x again like last year. but most of the models were great. the pink planet was really cute behati's starting to grow on me and i think candice is really beautiful 
but i was surprised that adriana didn't open the black tie segment since she was wearing the fantasy bra, i thought that since i saw selita opening, adriana would at least be closing it cause of the fantasy bra. it was weird to see her somewhere in the middle of the segment 
i think it woulda been better, cause in 05, 06, and 07, the models who wore the fantasy bras opened the show. ah well.
and i was seriously waiting for that surprise heidi was talking about, what was it? i thought that since kanye west's 'love lockdown' was playing that he'd pop outta no where and would be a surprise featured artist...but no.
RUN, USHER, RUN...
ahahaha I couldn't stop laughing at that part It was like she was wiggling her finger as soon as she hit the runway, it looked like a worm 
... all these raggedy bitches try and work their hands and bodies like miss. banks and they end up looking like fools. Tyra was unstoppable in her couture days. I miss the old walks.
AMEN!!! No truer words have been spoken. When Tyra was on that runway, she OWNED IT!!! Many women have tried to fill that gap, but nobody has, and nobody ever will. Like that guy said in the 2005 show, "The greatest there ever was, the greatest there ever WILL BE!!!"
loved the beginning intro! so hot!
usher makes me barf he totally distracted. I want to see them walk not interact with a singer...boy sure can move though
ale is not built for runway walking.
their walks are too commercial now...like pageanty and boring..i want sex
it was 99% blonde girls!!! wtf!...even paris looked bored.
i miss the cool remix music they used to use.
if you weren't familiar with the models you wouldn't be able to tell them apart they all look the same.
diddy makes me sick
the music was oh oh oh so bad this year.
no wonder its been hosted in miami...it's gotten so commercial. wow this was so bad i couldn't even finish...ll the cheese and camp and commercialism.
i want sex and rock'n roll.
the only girls that stood out for me were adri, karolina, MIRANDA, arlenis, marina and candice....the rest were total blaaah
my fav years were 03, 05 and the gisele fur scum year.
Well, good news, apparently the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's ratings is going up as high as it's budget--this year it was nearly $15 million. Here's the story:
"Undies special
over-delivers for CBS
'Victoria's Secret' show averages a 3.6 in 18-49s
By Toni Fitzgerald
Dec 4, 2008
Whether it was the brief respite from the bum economy, the weak timeslot competition, or the promise of mancandy Usher driving them, viewers flocked to last night’s “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.”
The CBS special averaged a 3.6 adults 18-49 rating, according to Nielsen overnights, up 38 percent over last year’s 2.6 rating and finishing as the night’s No. 2 program.
The show won its timeslot among 18-49s and averaged 8.7 million total viewers, 1.3 million more than last year. It marked just the second time since the show’s debut in 2001 that its audience has grown year to year, after doing so in 2007 as well. The program featured a bevy of bra- and underwear-clad models as well as a performance by Usher."
That's great! I'm really proud of them.
BTW, if you haven't re-watched it and you still think the music is bad--try watching it with headphones, the music sounds so much better. I like it more now.

Thank you! 
Lara Stone is not my cup of tea. Not that I don't like her, just not really what I'm going for on a VS show. 
Yeah, I agree. She has an amazing body, but her face is a little too hard. I'm not saying she's ugly, but she's just not bursting with enthusiasm like the others.
Is she a high fashion model, she reminds me a little of a Kate Moss type.
Why was Doutzen doing a horrible imitation of Adriana ala 07 and Tyra ala FOREVER? <_< At least Adri did it betta. 
OK, I take it back. Aparently Lara looked like that this year, but I just saw some older pics from her. Oh My God. She's amazing. Thanks ooh la la for changing my opinion soo fast.
Nope not me Lara does have an amazing body and her face isnt terrible but not the best for VS and as well her walk was the worst of the night for me...and Sessilee i really dont know what they were thinking she looked so scary and just wrong for the show in general. When she walked out in Dangerous her head bobbed very oddly i thought she was gonna unhinge and swallow everyone lol...Im not trying to offend its just they both were not right for the Glamour theme IMO
