I feel like the Grammy's have been a lot better lately at delivering on the good performances. Yes the show is way too long and there's always too many has beens pretending they're in their glory days performing, but overall we tend to get some really good performances there and lots of variety. Tonight's show could have desperately used some variety...

"Drunk In Love" won Best Collaboration, and "Pretty Hurts" won Best Video With A Social Message and Best Cinematography. I guess MTV really likes BeyoncΓ©.

When does this award show end anyway? It's like they show all of the performances, get an award or 2 in there so you don't leave, then have all of the awards in the last 20 minutes, and after the show's runtime slot is over. It's been over for about 45 minutes now.

Sia's "Chandelier" deservedly won for Best Choreography. :)

Like if you're going to bitch about the length at least have some common sense to realize that you're watching a repeat of the show.

I always find it best worth my time to look up the results online, or see some interesting discussion here, unless I actually am looking forward to the preformances.

Can you give me an example of a album that had alot of hits but didnt sell well? I don't see that seranio happening commonly. Pitbull Flo Rida Jason DeRulo Hello and goodnight. I know a lot of people who'd be able to name recent Pitbull or Flo Rida songs, but wouldn't be able to name any song from BeyoncΓ©'s last album (or the album before, for that matter). And it's not like everybody follows Billboard magazine to know it's sold over 2 million copies and on. And yet, they all know BeyoncΓ© is a famous, successful celebrity.

One thing I will say about Beyonce. That bitch worked her ass off to get to this spot since CHILDHOOD. She has earned every single accolade she gets unlike some others.
I salute her for the struggle, hard work and class she has shown every step of the way. Can't knock the hustle. Lack of bonafide classics or hits solo or NOT she is the top bitch in charge of music.

Ask those people if they can name the respective albums from Flo Rida an Pitbull. They wouldn't know.

And it's not like everybody follows Billboard magazine to know it's sold over 2 million copies and on. And yet, they all know BeyoncΓ© is a famous, successful celebrity. genuine question, why is it that what the people YOU know would be able to name is supposedly more representative than what...oh, i don't know, two million other people might be able to name by Beyonce? we're not just throwing that number in your face because it sounds impressive. we're throwing that number in your face because that's TWO MILLION PEOPLE who can actually name to you a bunch of Beyonce songs! there's nothing wrong with you or your friends for not being able to name so many Bey songs. i just need pop fans to stop acting like only pop radio matters, especially when it comes to a person whose 'flop' era sells as well as your faves and whose outright successes exceed them. by your logic, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert's previous albums are also irrelevant. but for some reason no one ever comes for Carrie or Miranda with that "I know people who wouldn't be able to name any song from their last album" b.s. I wonder why. Beyonce is an r&b icon, soon to be legend, who also happens to have quite a bit of pop success under her belt but has now reached a point in her career where she really doesn't need pop radio to validate her status. if it bothers you that people are trying to attribute the bulk of her success to pop then that is a valid argument, but trying to dismiss her accomplishments wholesale isn't going to get your argument anywhere.

I can't at people trying to discredit Beyonce's most recent album era with weak-ass logic. It speaks more to their lack of understanding than anything else tho.

Sam Smith is just too good. He was amazing! Hi Carrey, I'm tipsy I love this GIF. That's the only Grammy she is ever getting. I want the lead singer of 5sos to **** me. Get in line. Why the f**k is Taylor dancing? Cause she's fcking one of em. josh stop we said the same thing. It seems like she's fucking everybody. Don't be talking about dog piles when you have that loose bitch in your avatar! Go ask the doctors why they didn't abort your deformed lower class piece fo s**t as Bye Felicia. Adam's hairy armpits is the only reason why I still sorta like him.. that's gross You know you want to lick them. This performance is epic! Way to go Bey! It's easily the best one of the evening. I wish she had done a full performance of "Haunted" with a little bit of "***Flawless" and "Partition".

So nothing much noteworthy happened at the MTV VMAs this year,No "Miley" moment. Anyways,Beyonce had the best performance of the night and yes even better than Taylor Swift who I like more. Beyonce knows how to own the stage. Miley winning for Video Of The Year is a joke,I guess that means Nicki Minaj will win next year's one if the awards are voted like this. No talk about the Ariana and Big Sean holding hands backstage,basically confirmed their relationship.
