They have to have more performers and presenters than that?!? That looks like a small number of performers.

Amy Winehouse To Be Remembered By Tony Bennett At VMAsTribute on Sunday's show features footage of Winehouse and Bennett recording together this year. He was likely one of the last people to ever record with late singer Amy Winehouse, and now legendary singer Tony Bennett will pay tribute to the legacy of late Video Music Awards nominee Winehouse during a very special segment at the 2011 VMAs. www.mtv.com/news/articles/1669539/amy-winehouse-tribute-vma-2011.jhtml

Britney Tribute, Amy Tribute, Lady Gaga, Adele, Chris Brown, Lil' Wayne, Pitbull, Young The Giant, Bruno Mars (probably w/ BME) + Jessie J as house performer. That might be it? A high-up at MTV said it'd be 8 performances, minimum - that's 9 right there. Maybe Beyonce too (though PLEASE - do not waste Bey/Kanye/Jay on Lift Off...that song is terrible). Who knows, perhaps that Britney tribute does include Katy/Nicki/Ke$ha. Very much looking forward to Lady Gaga, Adele, Chris Brown and Young The Giant. Unsure of both tributes. Beyonce would be great. Pitbull  and I don't really care about Lil' Wayne or Bruno Mars. |

^Well, there's no guarantee that the performances will be "killer"- even the best performers don't hit a home run at the plate, after all. :)

It'd be even more entertaining to read these threads if the performances by Bey and Gaga flopped.

I dunno, even 'bad' performances by Gaga & Bey are pretty top notch so I'm sure they'll both be entertaining. TBQH those two at their worst are better than quit a few of their peers at their best.

^Probably true. It's too bad that so many are just mediocre/uneventful. Among performers, Beyonce and Stefani Gaga are passionate performers and among the best of "newer" acts.
Adele also has a lot of passion, but she doesn't move around like those two. :)

Gaga should be tributing Clarence Clemons. What a heartless, self absorbed witch.

Selena has already done a tribute to Brit on her tour this year, so it isn't a stretch. But that last name looks like Victoria Justice, and I can't see that happening. I'll be mad if it's true because she will have replaced Demi (assuming the other list(s) were true).

^ Selena should just be kicked out, the bitch can't dance. Demi & Victor are infinitely better dancers. Except that you cut out two of the performances. |

I read somewhere the theme of the night was "special events" or "Special moments" or something. I think it was MTV press release...but you guys are missing something potentially legendary here. ANDRE 3000!!!! :O when is the last time he performed live? 5 years ago?
