Mi||iê Måë

I love watching for the live performances!

Mi||iê Måë

I will update the OP as awards are given out!

Rihanna opened the show and it was a sick performance!

Ariana Grande is slated to perform next.

I don't know why this years show seemed a lot less insane than it usually is

Queen Bey slayed it though. Best part of the night for me. That performance was gold.

quin0611

Yeah this year's VMA was blah to me.

Butterfly85

The VMAs suck every year now but look at the channel. The last good VMA was in 2004 IMO.

Beyonce's performance was gold I agree!

They barely handed out any awards though.

Jared ❤︎ Jensen

That's true it felt like there were hardly any awards or nominees. Or even performances. Most of the show was taken up by Beyonce and Rihanna and the rest of the hour+ that this thing last was taken up by commercials.

I agree...A few times the shows are spectacular and other years they are just kind of ...

Jared ❤︎ Jensen

This year was very

Mi||iê Måë

Yeah, but i watched still...
