2 Chainz is performing. Does this mean A$AP Rocky is performing also, in addition to presenting?

With the 2Chainz announcement I feel like Give It 2 U is going to be performed by Daddy Thicke.

i cant believe JT is getting the Vangaurd award. I wish MTV was like it used to be and that award meant something. JT? really? I would agree Britney before JT. even Beyonce. i wish they would actually award people who never got one but deserve it. People will think im wrong but MTV should have given Paula Abdul the Vanguard Award years ago. ALL the videos she choreograhped in the 80s, not to mention her VERY impressive videos. She is someone who deserves it!
But MTV is just giving it to someone who is hot right now. JT doesnt deserve that award. of the newer generation the only person i would even think would deserve is Britney.

...Britney was a recipient of the Video Vanguard award in 2011.
Anyway, I know she's not exactly relevant right now, but I think Missy Elliott would have been a good choice.

Rumor is that Ms. Cherilyn Sarkisian will be performing. Only way that would make sense is if she sneaked in during Gaga's performance. |

LOL @ LOT being in the top ten. Lets be real, the performance itself wasn't memorable eve if she showed off her pregnant belly at the end. The exclusion of 2003 Britney, Madonna, Christina, and Missy, arguably the most talked about performance the last decade, is just WRONG.
Also, Taylor Swift had no business in there too LOL

Rihanna doesn't deserve to be on that list twice. Disturbia was a hot mess. And her CB collab performance is not top ten worthy.
The Oops performance is miles above the Slave one. Slave doesn't belong in the top ten. It's a boring, overrated performance tbh.

Also, leaving out Madonna'a "Like A Virgin" performance? That was a pop culture landmark. |

That is one of the worst top 10 lists I have ever seen. I had to check the source because I assumed it would be some idiot fan on a blog and not a legitimate one lol.

The "Like a Virgin" performance certainly was one of the most memorable TV performances- "Vogue" was a stronger performance, though, and set a bar for these kinds of shows, that few, if any, have reached.
As for Spears- if anything, her 2000 performance is better than the one listed. So beats me why the snake one is listed.

Janet Jackson - If Medley
Michael Jackson - Medley
Britney Spears - OOPS! I Did It Again
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady / The Way I Am
Chris Brown - Wall To Wall / Kiss, Kiss
Lady Gaga - Paparazzi
Kanye West - Runaway

Where was 2 Chainz confirmed to perform? It was confirmed on Rap Fix with Sway. It's basically been confirmed that Give It 2 U will be the song performed by Robin Thicke. The dancers (ASU Stingettes) were invited to recreate their routine in the video for the performance. Kendrick is supposed to appear as well. |

Any news on whether Robyn Fenty will show up? She's been in NYC out and about for the past few days, so I'll be surprised if she won't be. For a billion dollar stadium, the seating sure looks cramped and cheap lol. |

^It's not like one of the biggest girl groups of all time reuniting, so I don't see how that would be terribly exciting.  |

I haven't seen enough of the MTV video awards to be able to make a Top 10 list of my own but Madonna's Like A Virgin is iconic, as is its 2003 version with Britney and Christina, which I believe was the first time those two appeared on stage at the same time since they began their recording careers. That's a pretty big deal.
I think any of the performances in which something epic like that happened should be on the list. I would also expand the list to include moments in general. The Kanye/Taylor moment is another unforgettable happening. I think it's the unpredictable things like that that people watch this show for. That's why the last year or two were so dull because nothing scandalous happened.
What's the *full* line up of presenters and performers for tomorrow's show? Confirmed and rumoured. (as of now. n sync is still rumoured, correct?)

What's the *full* line up of presenters and performers for tomorrow's show? Confirmed and rumoured. (as of now. n sync is still rumoured, correct?) Ariana Grande and Austin Mahone are doing the pre-show. Austin's doing "What About Love" and Ariana I believe it doing a mix of "The Way" and "Baby I." As for the actual show: Miley Cyrus - I'd say "We Can't Stop," but some are rumoring "Wrecking Ball." Drake - Reports are saying "Started from the Bottom," but I can't see him not doing "Hold On, We're Going Home." Lady Gaga - Applause (opening act) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same Love (Mary Lambert might also appear with them.) Bruno Mars - "Gorilla" was just announced as the fourth single and "Treasure" is dying, so it could be either one. Probably "Gorilla." Katy Perry - Roar (closing act) Justin Timberlake - If I had to guess, "Take Back the Night" if solo. *NSYNC is apparently reuniting, and I just can't see them not performing, so "Bye Bye Bye" is a possiblity. Robin Thicke - All but confirmed to be "Give It 2 U." Kanye West - Black Skinhead |
