July 18, 201312 yr I really hope Paramore get to perform! Still Into You is ready to smash the US so it's a perfect opportunity for them. But seriously, WHERE IS PSY!? Surely Gangnam Style should have all kinds of nominations, and yet he's omitted completely? :???: :nocheer: People are probably done with him at this point but still... Edited July 18, 201312 yr by JordanFM
July 18, 201312 yr I agree. Gangnam Style may be old but they could at least have nominated Gentleman. MTV = Racists. Thrift Shop to win video of the year please.
July 18, 201312 yr I can't understand how Pink did NOT get a single nomination for Try. Surely a nod in de Best Choreography category wouldn't have been out of place.
July 18, 201312 yr LOL. I (vaguely) remember when these dreadful awards actually meant something. They literally just nominate the most popular songs now regardless of what their videos were like. Heart Attack was an absolutely rotten video and Just Give Me a Reason was nothing on P!nk's previous two!

July 22, 201312 yr Gaga to perform her comeback single hopefully and give some credibility to these pathetic awards taylorswiftcouldnever bye
July 22, 201312 yr Blurred Lines and We Can't Stop anywhere near the best video nominations? Well, these awards officially lost all credibility, if they even had any :D
August 25, 201311 yr Gonna bump this thread since the awards are hours away :D Performers (from Wikipedia): Pre-show Ariana Grande — "The Way" / "Baby I" Austin Mahone — "What About Love" Main show Miley Cyrus Drake — "Started from the Bottom" Lady Gaga — "Applause" (opening act) Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert— "Same Love" Bruno Mars — "Gorilla" Katy Perry — "Roar" Justin Timberlake Robin Thicke Kanye West — "Black Skinhead" And apparently Justin Timberlake will be presented with a Video Vanguard award Plus rumored appearances from *NSYNC and Danity Kane as noted in separate threads
August 25, 201311 yr I'm having a dillema right now Should I watch this at 2AM in the middle of the night or tomorrow night at 8PM... Such a tough choice
August 25, 201311 yr Amazing set of performers, definitely staying up to watch, should be a great show.
August 25, 201311 yr How do we watch it live from the UK? Edited August 25, 201311 yr by SceneofSIXCrimes
August 26, 201311 yr The show was a MESS! LOVED IT! Miley's performance was just *_* Bruno & Macklemore/Mary Lambert gave great performances though! Edited August 26, 201311 yr by Envoirment
August 26, 201311 yr Miley's performance was so awkward! She looked like one of the prostitutes from GTA. And I will never get over the fact that I saw Hannah Montana twerk against Robin Thicke's cross... I hope Give It 2 U starts setting the charts alight now Gagz was great, never expected her to sounds this good! Justin was great too Katy sounded alot better than I expected! The winners out of the nominees were good enough but I'm sure half of the nominees could be replaced with other much better videos. (Eventhough Iggy shoulda won the Artist To Watch award)
