As far as long shots, I'd love Janet Jackson to snag the token veteran spot She's on tour, don't you remember ;)

I wish the show wasn't so close to opening night of Janet's tour. I'd love for her to do another VMA performance. 90, 93, 00 and 09 are all classic moments.

Pretty weird to only be 2.5 weeks out and have 1 performer announced, no? Or is it usually like this?

Maybe they want to unveil a bunch of big names at once. But the show is a little over 2 weeks and they haven't really drummed up any interest. I hope they don't think that Taylor/Nicki fiasco is carrying this into the 30th. Ratings were not good last year. It's time to start announcing some big names.

I'd say it's because there's no one to perform because 2015 is dead.

I'd say it's because there's no one to perform because 2015 is dead. I can see One Direction, Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift performing. But I agree with you, music has been pretty boring this year.

Things usually get announced on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Let's see if MTV closes this week out saying anything at all.

If Nick is "only" pre-show worthy they must have a stunning line up for main show. Watch it be like Fifth Harmony and Rita Ora.

Could be but I don't see there's anything wrong with that, especially with 5H because they have starred the pre-show already and currently have a 2xP selling hit.

Nick seems successful enough to perform on the main show that's a little odd. He had his Jonas brothers success (where I think he even performed on the vmas) and well as jealous & chains) .

I see the Miley commercials a lot on MTV, so I wonder if they think those alone will build up hype for the show? It's definitely very strange that only one performer (for the main show) has been announced.

Big names supposed to be released tomorrow: Taylor Swift The Weeknd Macklemore Selena Gomez Lana Del Rey Ed Sheeran One Direction The Weeknd is already announced. Actually, he's the only performer announced. And I really hope that isn't the performance line up. If so, it looks horrible. This is the VMAs. Not the AMAs. Bring the showstoppers.

Who even are the showstoppers?
I'm serious. That list of names is probably as big as we can expect this year unless there's a legit surprise comeback or something.

Hopefully it is a Taylor performance announcement not a presenter announcement.

I'm all for 1D to perform, they are very entertaining.
