Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009 (POST-SHOW Thread)

Yeah that hour did go by fast and I thought the runway segments were overshadowed by the model search! I knew this model search was a horrible idea!

i wish vs would realize less is more... in all aspects. less fluff, less nonsense, less costumey crap, less pointy and corny crap on the runway. i miss the way it used to be...

Why did they overdo the model search stuff. We were watching all that crap on VS All Acess. Cant believe how the whole show was focused on that. Im not happy and i havent even seen it yet. Im glad atleast people are saying that there was focus on models during the segments and not crowd etc

^ Yes, the model(s)...search

yeah, they barely showed the crowd which was nice. i think i only saw they show jay-z, haha.

Yeah thankfully they didn't show the crowd much, but it still felt like a glorfied version of America's next top model!

the show should off been 2 hours long, if they were going to focus on the model search, so who won the model search is it kylie?

^ Yes, Kylie won but we kinda knew that w/ all the media surrounding her.

Wow, that was 50% model search, 25% BEP, 25% runway and backstage. If this show was any better than last year's, it wasn't by much. :|

I watched it with my sister and she had two comments: Julia Stegner (not that she knew her name) is men's fantasies incarnate, and WTF is with all the kissing.

I missed the beginning. Did they show that music video remake thing?

No everyones saying that wasnt there. The only thing they did was have someone announce all the angels names and put a bit of them on the picture...

No they didn't show the music video remake

The actual runway that they showed was good. Too bad there wasn't that much of it. The editing wasn't that bad. The runway segments weren't choppy, they cut down on the overuse of the slo-mo shots, and I liked the view of the models from behind at the end of the runway. Also, Heidi's hosting wasn't overbearing. She just had a sentence or two, then they moved on. Unfortunately, it was on to model search b-s. That was the big negative - way too much of that in the show.

I guess the bio stuff that we saw Ale and Behati shooting around NYC ended up on the cutting room floor. And I found it interesting that Erin H's name was mentioned in the opening credits.

So, do you think they did the whole ''Kyle wins and walks to stage, with make-up, costume, hair touche ups, etc'' with Jamie Lee too ?

Am I the only one who thought it seemed VS/CBS deliberately avoided showing Miranda's ass in her final outfit where she's basically wearing a black thong? Probably worried it would have been too risque.

Yes

I realise we can never win. Last year was choppy editing, bad slow mo and focus on crowd. This year all that is gone but its all screwed up cause of the model search. I dont know im very dissapointed and i was hoping that atleast we could see more stuff on the angels. I cant believe there was nothing of them other then on runway and the lame opening credits.

Yes

Uuuh, poor girls.

It's all so fake, I mean, the discussion with Alessandra, everything...

On another note, I must say I absolutly ADORE Abbey Lee, IMO she was the best this year !

They did. It's probably also why they blurred Candice's ass when they showed her running backstage in the one-leg outfit.

I agree. She was the highlight of the show. Love her!!!
