They have run out of people to perform clearly

The Cure, Janet and Stevie all deserve it this year. Radiohead are terrible (unpopular opinion?)

Who is she? She sounded like a slaughtered goat!

#2 is Mi Chico Latino by Geri Halliwell #4 is If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow :D

The Gate is exquisite! Can't wait for the album now.

Not really. I like a lot of modern pop culture, just nothing much on this years VMAs. Duh

The show must go on and all that!

She had a terrible flu and couldn't talk let alone sing, but still wanted to perform something. It was terrible, but it wasn't what she wanted to do. 15 years + ago I'd be glued to the TV watching the VMAs live, recording it to re-watch my favourite performances and then rushing online to talk about what I'd just seen. This year I watched it the next day in about 15 minutes total asking myself why every winning video sounded and looked the same and wondering where all the superstars have gone.

Okay x

I've touched a nerve! Oops.

The DJ? I don't know that one haha

haha i know quite a bit, I'm just saying Aretha isn't someone like Elvis or The Beatles where you can name dozens of their hits. Aretha did obviously have gallons of Hot 100 hits, but I couldn't name more than 10 or so, and either could the general public if pushed. And Nicki has a couple of songs that will be remembered in 2020, but in 50 years - no.

Congrats to Nicki... and as great as she is, honestly, I couldn't name more than 10 Aretha hits, let alone know if they made the Hot 100. Let's be real, none of you could either if put on the spot.

The tour has made me love Messiah so much, it's now one of my most played from the album where as I used to skip it before

Will this be the first 100 million viewed music video for a song that did shit all on the charts?
