Excited for Lizzo, but man there's such a lack of big hitters this year it's hard to get excited. I feel like we’ve been saying this about every award show for the last fives years, and I definitely feel it too, but then I wonder, who would need to show up to these to make them exciting? My thoughts leading up to the Grammys are mainly that the big names today aren’t particularly exciting in a venue like how the VMAs are set up to be. Maybe to have someone like Rihanna or Beyoncé show up might help, but other than those, they’d need to hype up whoever the biggest name on the performer’s list and give them a major spotlight for the show. The thing is there's not even big names from 2022 performing here; Glass Animals, Lil Nas X, Latto, Doja Cat, Steve Lacy, Future, Dove Cameron, Gunna, Post Malone, Joji, The Kid Laroi, etc. All artists that had big hits/albums this year but are also missing, again aside from Harlow and Lizzo all the performers are artists that haven't had a hit in 3-4 years. Panic? Mashmello & Khalid? No offense to those guys but they aren't exactly pulling hits right now. Same with J Balvin, the VMA's always choose him every year for some reason, probably because they can't afford Bad Bunny who's the biggest artist in the world right now.

From people that had recent big projects, they're missing:
Drake Beyoncé Adele T-Swift Billie Weeknd Kendrick Bad Bunny Harry Styles Dua Lipa has never even been there. Elton x Britney Spears Megan thee Stallion Cardi technically has a single to promote even if no one likes it. Even Madonna has that remix project coming.
I'll give them Doja because I think she's still recovering her voice.
99% of those are above the VMA's at this stage of their career and that's the problem. No one takes these seriously.

Why is there an "Album Of The Year" category for videos lmao. Whatever, I'm starting to learn as I'm getting older how it is.

According to TMZ, Johnny Depp is gonna be appearing in the VMAs, dressed up as a "Spaceperson" This was probably a good idea in like April, but recently the backlash from the trial swung back into Johnny Depp's direction and I don't see how this appearance will be well received. I guess any publicity is good publicity.

I really don't think Billie, Meghan, Bad Bunny or The Weeknd are above the VMAs stage really. It just seems that artists nowadays have gotten lazier and lazier at promoting their music so they just wait for TikTok to do all the work instead of actually putting in the effort.

People just don't care about these shows anymore, and there's no point in performing there.
