VMAs suck anyway. They haven't been good in years. They used to be so iconic. I feel like everytime I go into an awards show thread before, during or after the show, it is just people moaning about how it is bad now. No one is forcing you to come in here or even watch the show. so? And of course I'm going to come in here and watch it. It can have potential but they rarely ever deliver.

I'm entitled to my negative opinion just as much as anyone is entitled to their positive opinion. also, I only said it 1 time in this thread... I certainly can voice my opinion once per thread. Thanks!

This would be a great platform for Shawn to release the next single off his album but of course he is performing his old single that peaked weeks and weeks ago. I miss when artists performed their current single at award shows.

I’m surprised MTV would give it to either to be honest. They are both over 45. When was the last time anyone that age got it? Has anyone received it after the age of 40? I do think both are equally deserving though. Quite a lot of OLD people have got it, for example The Rolling Stones in 1994. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson_Video_Vanguard_AwardYes, I know that. That was in the 90s. It’s a different situation now. When was the last time someone over 45 got the Video Vanguard award? Even at the time The Rolling Stones got the lifetime achievement award = video vanguard, they were likely the oldest ever to receive. Little bit different from JLo or missy

With Nicki Minaj's eyes dialed in on her August 17 release date for Queen, the "Chun-Li" MC is doing everything in her power to have a splashy rollout. On Thursday afternoon (August 9), MTV announced that Minaj will perform at the 2018 Video Music Awards from a surprise remote location in New York City. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8469531/nicki-minaj-mtv-vmas-2018

By remote location in New York, do they mean 69 jail cell?

She should do Barbie Dreams and call everyone out live on air. That'd be the splashiest.
Would also be fun if Cardi could make it - do we know for sure that she won't perform?
An obvious one is Drake but his performances are never exciting anyway.

Some hefty performers, it's really late but I hope we get a ton more. I'm really hoping for Janet and Rihanna, maybe Taylor but I doubt it.

Hollering at Jennifer getting the Vanguard, good for her though. She's a great video artist.

Well JLO has always been a visual artist and only that . Mind you she has a handful of songs cluttered around her her debut that i still enjoy ( Waiting for Tonight is iconic) but man what a let down. Vanguard award should not just look at pretty videos, made by pretty artists to mostly mediocre songs. Missy Elliot was CREATIVE and helped spark creativity . Jlo was aiight.
A quick peek at the Micheal Jackson Video award winners shows how very out of place and basic she is compared to the other winners.

BSB relegated to a pre-show performer considering some of the main show performers. I can't.

Um, Backstreet Boys, one of the biggest selling boy bands and performing on the pre-show? I don't understand. I'm not even a fan, but that's ridiculous.

Amazing to see BSB back at the VMAs after all these years, or even decades!!
Rita Ora is only listed as a presenter, probably related to Avicii tribute or sth

In My Feelings vs I Like It for the Song of the Summer.. both songs have made it to the final stage of voting.
