I can see them giving Normani a slot and that's about it. Probably an additional rapper or two but I'm having a hard time as well. Yeah, I would be surprised if Normani didn't get a slot. It occurred to me that 21 Savage somehow snagged a VOTY nomination, so it would make sense for him to perform too. That k-pop category wasn't added for nothing, so BTS and/or BLACKPINK will probably be there. This doesn't really seem like H.E.R.'s kind of event but she has three nominations and it wouldn't hurt her at all to grab the exposure. Panic! and one other band can fill the rock quota. Maybe they'll throw Halsey a bone even thought Nightmare is dead. I could see Megan getting a pre-show invitation. And...that's all I got. And I might have pulled a muscle just to reach for some of those. You did a good job with these picks. I'd like to add Ella Mai simply for personal taste.

Duh, JoBros! I had them on my mind and then forgot about them. Yeah, I would be surprised if Normani didn't get a slot.

She's opening for Ariana overseas so she won't be available, otherwise I would definitely have thrown her in there.

How did we forget the JoBros?! Sam Smith isn't doing any touring at the moment so hopefully he gets a slot. This is the perfect format for a campy performance of How Do You Sleep?

Normani and H.E.R are great choices.
Ozuna is probably doing the single with ROSALΓA? Otherwise meh.

Not sure if I will really bother with this. Shouldn't it be the Youtube/Vevo awards at this point? MTV literally never shows videos and I'm not even sure where to find it on the channel list.
Probably easier to just catch the good performances afterward...

Probably easier to just catch the good performances afterward... It's Viacom, so you know you can catch it on BET, MTV, VH1, and CMT all at the same time. And that's not including the sub-channels like MTV2, BET Soul, BET Her, etc.

VMAs announced the line-up for their closing hip-hop performance today: Fetty Wap, Naughty By Nature, Queen Latifah, Redman, and Wyclef Jean. And yes, that is the order they listed these 'living legends' in. And yes, they really did refer to Fetty Wap as a 'living legend.' Should have just been honest and said 'we had this really great idea to pick people from New Jersey to commemorate our first time holding the show in Jersey, but turns out there aren't as many people from Jersey as we thought...' I assume that's it for confirmed performers since we're so close to the show now. I could see Megan getting a pre-show invitation. And I nailed H.E.R. too?! we'll ignore all those other wrong guesses I threw out lol

I'm curious to see what they go with VOTY wise. To me, TUN is the only nominated video that felt like an event, but I can't see them giving it to Ariana if she isn't going to be there. Maybe OTR will get it? I can't tell.

Taylor does not deserve video of the year let alone a nomination in that category.

Ariana is not attending, which is a big deal for this hand picked awards.
The "thank u, next" video is the only one I think truly stood out this year so it deserved VOTY imo.

I'm now convinced that this is the actual reason for the stupid call to switch the show to Monday Like fuck that, I start college on Tuesday so I am definitely skipping on watching this then again I honestly never watch award shows live cause I usually only care for a few of the performances and that's it

Videos were tragic this year. The fact that yβall still hyping the TUN video as if it wasnβt just a couple of cameo and movie allusions lazily strung together. π

TUN isn't the best video of the year, but it was an event and in this competition TUN deserves to win. IMO, last year's best video was LWYMMD and this year's is SICKO MODE.
