I doubt it but I really hope Blackpink and Selena do a performance of Ice Cream.

The performer list is pretty meh this year, aside from The Weeknd, Miley and Gaga/Ariana there's no other big hitters. No Taylor, No Drake, No Nicki, No Katy, No Post Malone, No Bieber, No Rihanna or Beyonce or Bruno. Dua and Harry aren't there. Not even Cardi and Meghan as far as we know.
This just seems like it's gonna be a little boring, again I'm looking forward to the performances listed but overall this wouldn't be enough for me to watch it live.

Rihanna's 4 performances for Video Vanguard Award (which she received from Drake) Ariana Grande ft. Nicki Minaj - Side to Side performance Britney Spears ft. G-Eazy - Make Me performance Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer performance Kanye - Fade music video release (Teyana Taylor looked BOMB) Definitely less sensational compared to 2013, but I think 2016 was still somewhat interesting. It all went downhill from there.

It all went downhill from there. I agree, and I find it bizarre because MTV used to be able to book everything and everyone, but in the last few years it seems they can only get flash in the pans or smaller artists that haven't become huge yet. Like the only huge pop stars willing to jump on every other year is Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. I'm aware Taylor/Ari have released more material in the past few years than most of the artists I listed earlier, but the VMA performer list just seems increasingly dry every year.

Well BTS are arguably the biggest act in MTV's core demographic.
I don't think people would tune in to see Post Malone performing live (he did in 2018 and didn't really help in ratings) and didn't Katy just give birth?

Katy is obviously not going to bring in much traction at this point. Didn't she host the show in 2017? I don't think that helped her or the VMAs. What kcdawg13 means, I'm assuming, is that the VMAs no longer bring in the hottest lineup of the award season like they used to. This year, ideally, they would have: a folklore medley/performance from Taylor Swift a Cardi B x Meg Thee Stallion performance a BLACKPINK x Selena Gomez performance a Billie Eilish performance ("my future" or new single) performances from Dua Lipa & Harry Styles (who they snubbed) I'd say the most interesting thing about this year's actual lineup is the "Rain on Me" performance and the only reason it's exciting is that we literally haven't seen Gaga perform anything from Chromatica. Otherwise that song isn't the hottest record of the year either and I don't think it has general public appeal, and probably won't be in the headlines like Gaga's meat dress or Paparazzi performance or Ariana's Bang Bang performance.

The show is late, LOL. Pre-show ended and...nothing. When you try to watch it live, now all you get is an info page about the awards, but no live feed. Fail.

Kinda surprised he didnβt do another song after performing βBlinding Lights,β but he was great nonetheless.

Lol had no clue this was even a thing until I just saw the commerical. I'm not feeling the performers list so here to Chloe X Halle bringing the real vocals and singing since most of that list is baby voice or airy.
I'd say Gaga and Ariana but I'm pretty sure they will be doing their duet and that is more a fun pop song than vocals. I'm here for balance!nothing wrong with fun but can you include some vocals too MTV.

Iβm confused about the show setup. Is it in a sound studio with green screens everywhere?
Gaga/Ari won collaboration.

How are you guys seeing this? I don't have cable and it says the live stream is free on MTV.com, but once the pre-show ended, it won't let me watch. Oh well, at least I saw Chloe x Halle lip-synch for their lives on the pre-show. Mama B taught them well!
Edit: Never mind, when I go to MTV.com now, it asks me to put in my cable provider. Fail. Who has cable in 2020, LOL. The live performances will all be online before the end of the night. Just wish I didn't rush out to get dinner in time for the show.

Seems that all performances are uploaded on MTV's Youtube account right away.

They realize no one actually cares about the show itself so they are just uploading the performances immediately after they air. YAY!

Nice to see Taylor Swift win best direction otherwise this show looks like they took the virtual fan thing from the NBA and made a weird sound studio out of it.

BTS are not boring :o LOVE THEM Surely, it will be a performance filmed in Seoul, yes? They're not gonna fly half way around the world in the midst of global pandemic when there's no live audience? Looks like it was filmed in South Korea with a screen showing images of NYC... it really would not have made sense for them to come here.

Active Aggressiveβanother reason performances are uploaded faster is because they aren't live for the most part.

So Gaga (and Ariana) are the only ones so far who havenβt lip synced or at least recorded new vocals? Will that performance be topped tonight?!!
