From the look of it people weren't interested in the show, just look at the huge number of B-list stars on the front row. Absolutely no one of importance sitting there compared with the previous shows.
 
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.
 
here's me...

the best part IMO was Dangerous... it looked almost like a real fashion show.
Ana and Isabeli were really elegant and amazingly gorgeous.
Alessandra did the best job as an angel, i never liked her, but she reall was amazing on the runway, looked classy and not acting like in circus.
Doutzen, though she is gorgeous and love her in other shows, well, this is just not good for her. she acted like some dude, i don't know,... i just really didn't like her walk.
Selita looked like call girl.
Adriana, well, her body is amazing, her face is amazing but she needs a little less of that heart making things with hands...
Karolina looked good, like her walk.
Heidi needs to go home. and Marissa's face is scary.. like Jessica Simpson...
Flavia was good, Angela too, Carmen as usual.
Editing was all wrong and only thing worse is that most of the girls waved their hands like maaad... So it does look like circus a bit.
Everyone were talking bout Miranda, and i didn't even notice her.
Too much attention on angles, and some of them really don't deserve it.
Too much hands in the air, and kisses and pointing fingers...
I liked the finale, nice music choice and that is the time in FS to wave your hands.
 
OK can some one be lovely and kind and post a picture of Marya groping Usher? Please? Pretty please?
 
I see Im the only one who actually liked the 'Whos Victoria and whats her secret' thing lol...It was cute, smth silly and fun and it didnt take that long time either so I think its was a cute idea. Not that it gave any explanations lol..but anyway.
 
they really shouldn t have shown marissa backstage she doesn t look good at all, she has strong features and she does remind me of jessica simpson A LOT. so not pretty
 
^^Im not even gonna comment all that silly Marisa hate. :yuk::rolleyes:Thanks god, tastes differ and there are actually people who can think and express themselves logically and objectively.:innocent:

why? can you give a logical & objective justification because you have an opposite opinion than FASHIONLOVA?
Marissa is one of the worst if not the worst model in the show, she looks like a granny compared to those young models...go to her thread & check what she did until now! yes! SI & SI & SI!

......

Ok I watched the show.

And it was way worst than last year, I mean WAY!

The Music completely sucked from the beggining until the end, they put old songs there...Usher sucked with his songs, and Jorge Moreno? and Chris Brown? and that old song of Robbie Williams in the final? they don´t have money to contract someone to make a decent soundtrack?
I liked that small orquestra there, but they were just part of the decoration, since they were not playing nothing!

The makeup was incredibly bad, the models got a ton of it, they just didnt get makeup on the hair & on the outfits the rest of the body was full of makeup, but this isn´t a suprise for anyone!
The Hair was ok, not bad either good.

The editing was a pure s***** with all those effects & slow motion they screwed the whole show!

The part of "Who´s Victoria?" was incredibly stupid & uncreative.

The part before the Pink segment were Behati was teaching how they should cross the runway to Lindsay, Edita & Flavia was soooo uncreative, I mean, what a hell was that? it doesn´t make any sense!

The fact that all the models were throwing kisses, jumping, dancing & shaking they ***es was increbibly bad, and people were saying that would be a classy show? where? less classy than last year´s show for sure!

The best segment of all was the Pink for sure...the sexier model was Shannan, she only had 1 look which was in the pink segment but she was sensual compared to the rest of the models.

So my conclusion is that the VS show is 100% dedicated to the celebs!

The show really sucked from the beggining until the end, & some poeple say that the show is all about of having a good time & fun watching it...well I didnt have any fun at all & I lost 42 min...

how can a label like VS with so much money can suck so much is unbelievable, isnt it?

VS! try again next year!

Hi guys, I know i'm a bit late, but i've finally managed to download the show and gave it a good watch last night.

I would probably give it a 7/10 at the moment, because it kind of grew on me when I watched it again just now.

Then again, there are quite a few bits where there were too much interaction between the models and usher and the audience. I would probably say it was too cheesy, gave me shudders and goosebumps a few times.
IMO the first segment was probably the worst, but it's a tight call with the second one.

Other segments were pretty good I think, with Pink standing out.

Music-wise, I'm in love with the Killers song, and obviously the one by the ting tings.
Usher performed well I thought, afterall he's a great dancer and performer.
I like his songs, maybe because I've been listening to his new album for the past week :p

I would've loved it if they werent going back and forth between the models' entrance and their walk, it was confusing, one moment I saw so and so blew a kiss, the next moment there was this shot showing she getting ready to get on the runway. And i'm sure a few people have pointed out, they cut out too much of the actual walk. And too much backstage if you know what i mean, I am not too interested in wt the girls were doing once they got back from the runway, i wanted to see more of them rocking the catwalk.
and obviously too much hand waving, Anne V during the first segment scared me for a start.

the models...
well.
a few overdid it, Anne V, as pointed out earlier. Noemie... No no no no no!
Doutzen was gorgeous, but have being an angel got into her head a bit too much?
Clara was nonexistent for me, did not stand out one bit, but perhaps the editing is to blame?
I was kind of looking forward to see Abbey Lee, but gosh did she disappoint, she doesn't fit in at all! Even for pink she seems too young...
And Lara, she's better off just being her usual self rather than attempting to blow a kiss.
did i mention angela as well? from the pics a few weeks ago she looks tired, and from the show, the usual angela stuff, i think even she herself said she overdid it.
O and heidi, NEEDS TO GO.

None of the models really stood out, but I do love Edita, even though there was only about 10 seconds in total of her. And obviously Candice and Maryna, even though Maryna was not as gd as I expected.
Shannan was great, even though she looks a bit 'seasoned' to be in the pink section.
Rosie was good too IMO, especially love her first outfit, and the shot when she shows her back, incredibly sexy :D
Miranda was best during The Modern I thought.
KK, as much as being her fan and all, i thought the whole body issue is the thing again, she looked much better in the pics than in the show, but still great.
and last but not least, Ale was probably the best angel out of all.
 
^yea :( haha I notice also vs usually always does a closeup of her face and not her face+ body at the end .. I guess they dont really like her body?
I'm so dissapointed with Edita.. she got so little airtime and she was the most beautiful by far.. :\
Candice was SOO HOOTT
and marnya OMGGG ! did anyone see her wink and her butt slap? SO hot! Future angel.. imho
Doutzen: Dont like ehr walk but lvoe her face..

Edita, Candice and Maryna were definitely my favourite of the show, and SO disappointed at the lack of airtime:yuk:
Maryna's butt slap was great, at least it's something different from pointing and waving :p
but seriously i loved it :D

There isnt much to say about Candice really, as you said, HOT!:lol:
 
I thought this definetly was the best show of the last couple of years...the production was a lot simpler and the lingerie actually managed to look like lingerie instead of costumes. There was also a bigger focus on what actually happens on the runway and not behind it. Last year all you saw was backstage during a segment and now it was more runway. Also that idiot producer's voice was cut back a lot, but still present alas. Luckily there was also waaaay less pointing and arm throwing compared to last year...but Adriana, what the hell was she doing with her finger when she came to escort Usher off of the runway? Awful!

Modelwise, I think I am the only one who appreciated Lara in the show :p She's just so raw and erotic, a welcome change from the polished Alessandras and smileyfaced Heidis. Anne V is hot hot hot, loved her...Maryna was great as well. And Sessilee, man! What a pleasant surprise, she did an amazing job! I wanted to see more Morgane and especially more Arlenis...her walk and runway presence during S/S 09 was very much below par but it looks like she took some lessons and remembered them very well! She did great...also, did you notice how Kanye stood up for her? Yes, for her, not Selita :)

My biggest problem in the show is Marisa...make her go away...with her annoying fast, small steps and bad bad bad bad posing...she's like the Sasha P of VS. I don't find her beautiful at all...plus her hair looks like Barbie nylon implanted by a bad weave-artist. Bleghh...
I used to be annoyed as hell by Selita as well, but she actually looked very classy and worked it very nicely :o :ninja:
 
Indeed, Candice is pretty hot, but she knows how to walk, unlike Marisa, who imo is the hottest of all but did not do well opening that segment, I'll let it go because she's really hot. :p

Anyway, Maryna was the best! She just rocked everytime she walked the runway and on the finale. Alessandra looked amazing! She made me remember why she used to be my favorite model :wub:

And I actually loved Abbey Lee! I think she looked really nice. But the music was so slow, kind of boring sometimes, in 2005 & 2003 the music was much more exciting!

ETA: And I did too appreciate Lara :p

same here :p
i guess the only reason she is not my top favourite is just because all she does is vs, and i hardly check out her vs stuff anymore:(

really?
i thought i've seen quite a lot of backstage:p
but it certainly is better than last year.:flower:

Marisa improved her walk though, which was good, IMO she is v pretty, but maybe not as an angel?:unsure:

I disagree...I think it was the worst VS show from the last few years for many reasons.

Less pointing and arm throwing than last year´s? oh really? I saw much more than that this year.

Yes they captured more runway in the segments than the last year´s but with that slow motion effect everytime a model were posing was awful, all the show editing was really bad.

Lara is sensual & has maybe the best body of all the models that attended to the show, but she looked like she wanted to kill somebody, a very agressive look, so I didn´t like her there at all.

And I agree about Marisa, she was the worst model this year´s & last year´s show. I mean is understandable that she doesn´t know how to walk, she´s not even a runway model, she basically only did SI in her life. And she´s so unattractive.
