yeah, it's weird...but I'm starting to think that, this year, the nominations will be decided by MTV and not through fan voting. I remember last year (the VMAs were in Sept 9th, the fan voting started July 18st and before that date they announced that the fans would be voting), this year the VMAs are in Sept 13th, it's only 4 days later than last year so if the fans were to vote, there would be some kind of announcement already. I really hope that MTV decides the nominees, the whole "fan voting" thing is ridiculous IMO.

^^ I think having the fans decide the nominations takes "value" away from it, maybe the artists might think differently because it's coming directly from them, but if you have a bigger fan base you have a greater chance of getting nominated, whether your music is better or not. Now if that helps when winning then so be it, but at least the right songs/videos should get nominated.

I agree. It will end up a joke like the last few years. The best videos don't win...nor do the best artist. It is the people with the most fake email accounts or voting macro programs that win.

So are we all in agreement that Ciara is taking at least female, dance, video, and pop? She might get a few more! I can't wait for a performance from the re-release :0

with the year Beys had, how could she not be there this year? she has a show in Australia.. Not anymore! She moved her shows around in Australia, supposedly, to have that day free for the VMA's.

The nominations were however fan voted which I don't mind. However making the winner fan voted would be cheesy and too much like the Teen Choice Awards which pretty much mean nothing anyway.

Mariah Carey Added to MTV VMAsMariah Carey will join the line-up at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
The “Obsessed” singer is set to take the stage at this year’s show, an insider exclusively reveals to Rap-Up.com. The 26th annual event will air September 13 from Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
An official announcement is expected soon. Previously announced performers include Taylor Swift and Muse.
The appearance comes on the heels of Mariah’s new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, scheduled for release two days later on September 15. The last time she performed at the VMAs was in 2005 when the show was held in Miami.
Russell Brand will host the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, airing live on Sunday, September 13, at 9 p.m. www.rap-up.com/2009/07/27/mariah-carey-added-to-mtv-vmas/

Well I would much rather have MTV chose nominees and Fans choose winners, it's so much more "fair" that way. I would actually have it the other way around. I would hate the fans to choose the winners, then that means all the tweens will vote for Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers and other teen stars to win which would suck. I would rather fans vote for the nominee's at least then we could get maybe one or two decent music videos in the nomination process and then the VMA panel would have to choose the best video. Rather then having fan bases flood the box and wind up giving Miley Cyrus twelve different awards that night.

^ I agree. Fan voting can be a disaster of epic proportion as the tweens vote hundreds of times with different email accounts and such... and they have so much more time to vote then adults with jobs, etc. The Jonas Brothers, Miley, and Demi Lovato or Taylor Swift would end up sweeping the awards.

^^ But then again, if MTV gets to choose the nominees, we will have them in at least 1 category, where as if the fans were to choose for the nominees, they will get nominated in all the categories possible. MTV has a better criteria as to what are music videos, that way at least the right videos (most of the time) will get nominated and we won't have to end up with Miley & The Jonas, because their videos aren't that good anyway.

If fans voted for the winners then Miley Cyrus "Fly On The Wall" or Jonas Bros "Lovebug" would win VIDEO OF THE YEAR. Umm...no! MTV needs to pick the nominations and winners. Fans can do the "Viewers Choice Award sponsored by Sprite/T-Mobile/Monopoly", that one is unimportant.

Beyonce, Britney, and Lady Gaga all have videos deserving of the "Video Of The Year" Award.

Beyonce's videos suck like always so I expect Lady Gaga and Britney's "Womanizer" to clean up this year.

POM only won because the nominations were chosen by internet voters that chose videos from Tokio Hotel & Jonas Brothers. Of course POM was going to win, there was hardly any other good video in the nominations.
And hopefully Katy Perry will win something. Hopefully Pop video for Hot N Cold!

Hopefully Pop video for Hot N Cold! we know the nominations were voted by internet voters last year. but they didn't choose the winner. the winners were chosen by Mtv. Britney deserved to get all the categories. POM is not her best. however, It's a brilliant video and she's a queen of VMAs. the current VMAs is nothing without Brit-Brit.
