I'm hoping Kelly can perform.
It's be great to see Karmin too, but I doubt they'll be there. Maybe as presenters or even nominated, but probably not performing.

There has been a rumor that Madonna might be performing "Gang Bang" at the VMAs. The Wanted needs to perform their new single from their new album.

Thursday (???) September 6 I saw that on Wikipedia and double checked on MTV's recent article...so strange. It's been on a Sunday for as long as I can remember. And this will be a Thursday night when high school is already in session. Bizarre. |

Wikipedia says Thursday, September 6, but the MTV article it links to says Sunday, September 9.
So, I'd go with the article, not Wikipedia.
I wish they'd return to New York. Everytime they're in New York, it's like some sort of magic happens that makes the show just so good! The past two years from Los Angeles are just... dull.

Rihanna and Katy should perform
Isn't Gaga debuting new single soon? Maybe VMA will be the perfect place.
And this will be impossible but i hope Carrie Underwood will perform or at least attend.

Gaga probably won't even be there. She'll have to fly from Europe from a concert the 5th and fly back for another show on the 8th. It's possible but would probably kill her, especially if she had to perform.  Unfortunately. |

Actually decent noms this year. Most are very well-deserved. Happy to see Frank Ocean receive a BNA nom! Plus One Direction & Alicia Keys have been announced as performers.

Some thoughts about the noms: - I agree with adamepyare that the nominations this good are decent, unlike past years. While there's still some repetition of the same acts in many categories, it seems that the love was spread more evenly this year with many acts I was glad to see get nominated like Calvin Harris on his own. - I was glad that the mega hits of 2012 so far, i.e. 'Call Me Maybe', 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and 'We Are Young' didn't get tons of nominations like I was expecting. - The confrontation between One Direction and The Wanted in the Best New Artist category will be interesting. - FINALLY Rihanna got the nominations - and acknowledgement - she deserves for having good videos, God it was about DAMN time! I'm ecstatic at the amount of noms she received, she's probably the most nominated act this year right?  After being snubbed for so many times in the past, it is great seeing her nominated so many times. - Really glad about the nods Beyoncé received. - What the hell is that 'Best Electronic Dance Music Video' ... MTV always changes the Dance category every year it seems. It's messy and confusing, just stick with a name and a definition already  Oh and bring back Best R&B Video and Best Group Video while you're at it, I've never understood why those two categories were removed. - Beyond happy that Kelly got a nomination for 'Dark Side' , even though I think 'Stronger' should've gotten some nods. |
