I'm starting to think whoever said they couldn't put together an impressive line up of A-Listers is right. They probably have a solid line up with a lot of Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Bieber, TheWeeknd, level stars. But not enough Gaga, Beyonce, Katy, Rihanna, Kanye level stars. Unless something absolutely huge is going to be announced in the upcoming days, they probably feel safer letting the curiosity sell the show. I'm inclined to agree with you, BUT why would Nick Jonas be relegated to pre show-status if this were true?

He's been making iconic music for 12 years, I'm very fine with this. He'll bring a killer performance.. maybe featuring Macca and Rihanna?

It's much deserving since Kanye has one hell of a music video catalog.

I figured he, Rihanna or Gaga would be selected next for the award. I think he's a good choice.

Kanye West is a great choice. My favorite videos from him are "Jesus Walks," "All Falls Down," "Gold Digger," "Flashing Lights," "Welcome to Heartbreak" and "Runaway." The 808s & Heartbreak videos were very underrated.
I'm thinking Eminem, Rihanna and Gaga are next in line. Jay-Z as well. It's kinda ridiculous though that Bjork and Missy Elliot don't already have this title.

They'll probably give it to Rihanna, Gaga, or Taylor Swift next year depending on who has an album either already available or coming out. That seems to be the trend with the past 3 recipients.

People are trippin' if they think MTV can't get big acts lol The show, even if the ratings dipped a bit, is still a pretty iconic show. MTV has TONS of pull. And the show is massive promotion, whether or not it got big live ratings. All the youtube and streams and what not can sell.
That's cool for Kanye. But Eminem should have got it first lol. I hope Eminem gets it, but he is reclusive as fuck so yeah. Maybe next year if he releases an album? Obviously the award is used for promo also. I'm guessing Kanye will perform a brand new single and finally announce the album release date for Q4?

My guesses are Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and I'm not sure of the one being revealed today.

8/27 is clearly Nicki. 8/26 is Bieber.
Those ratty braids to the right look like ASAP. I'm guessing with Selena. And not sure why Weeknd is there when he was already announced.

The woman clearly has on a dress that's bigger at the bottom. And no, she wasn't announced. Her label sent her new single for adds saying it would have a VMA performance. I doubt she's grouped at the bottom. As we've all been saying for the past 5324234 days, The Weeknd is the only performer announced by MTV. And now Kanye.

Just like I thought. The line up is awful. No wonder they weren't teasing and promoting. They had nothing to work with.
This will be the Taylor Swift show with bad performances.
The surprise? A "Bad Blood" performance with the entire cast and making up with Katy at the end.

The only one that remotely interests me is Demi Lovato. I think she'll deliver a hot performance. The rest...meh.

That's...it? Some substantial names, but how did Nick Jonas get pushed to the pre-show with a lineup that mild?

Wow, not even Ed cares to show up? This line-up is just pathetic. As if 95% of the A-listers decided to skip it.
I didn't buy for a split second Bruno would perform. He tweeted few days that he's still writing.
I won'r be watching. ...just might check 1-2 performances later.

twenty one pilots with A$AP Rocky? That's interesting.
I like the performers but it's still pretty underwhelming.

This show is gonna suck.
At least Kanye deserves the Vanguard more than Justin Timberlake did.

Tori Kelly is all I'm anticipating
Ciara would be a refreshing addition.

Is Tori Kelly that big to be performing at the main show? Is she bigger than Nick Jonas?

I bet Ed Sheeran will perform with Tori Kelly. That would be a fun "surprise." Makes sense since they are both really connected.
I do like the TOP/ASAP performance.
Is Kanye actually performing or are we just speculating he will like how everyone thought Janet was going to at the BET thing?
