LMFAOOOOOO Rihanna got snubbed again.
but seriously, these noms are shit. just proves how crappy music has been for the past few years.
Kanye, Beyonce and Gaga deserved more noms. Adele and Katy deserved less, tbh.
Adele nominated for best choreo? PLEASE, she’d move more if there was a hamburger hovering in front of her. Brit deserved more, Gaga deserved WAY MORE, Rihanna got robbed and Katy DEFINATELY sucked on some mtv dick to get those awards, Everyone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Adele’s chair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Katy
I’m not a Rihanna fan but she deserves a Best Female Video nom for WMN or S&M they were big songs this year. Guess they just had to make room for Queen Bey *shrugs* Anyway congrats Chris Brown!! That’s whats up!
LMAO Matt you wrong azz hale but yet so right, She sat in a chair for the entire video
Rihanna had 5 videos and got paid DUST lmfao…I’d expect her to at least have one…and why is Britney nominated for Best Choreography when 1) Britney barely danced and 2) Britney used a body double…Wiz Khalifa technically isn’t a new artist because Rolling Papers is his 3rd album
MTV SHADED GAGA CUZ SHE WAS THERE LAST YEAR AND DIDN”T PERFORM, THEY DON”T LIKE RIHANNA, FELT SORRY FOR BRITNEY, AND GAVE ONE TO BEY OVER RIH. NEXT YEAR AFTER THE GRAMMIES HAVE OF AMERICA WON”T KNOW WHO ADELE IS- MTV: WHALE CLIT SUCKERS!
Adele is not nominated for best Choreo….LMAO No Rihanna nomination… pressed ri stans in 5…4
@Tracie
What does Beyonce being nominated has to do with Rihanna not being nominated…I couldn’t see Rihanna getting nominated for S&M since it was banned…if you ask me, Katy doesn’t deserve 9 nominations
I’m not a Rihanna stan, but I’m really shocked she wasn’t nominated.
The ghost of Kanye West was nominated….okay. Will he actually show up this year? probably not.
Bruno Mars was nominated for Best Choreography but Chris Brown wasn’t? Nigga please!
Britney Spears was nominated for Best Choreography but Chris Brown wasn’t?….Nigga plz.
Who is Tyler the Creator and does have a record deal?
When is Adele going to put out a second single? Is she waiting to tie the other shoe?
VMAS have sucked for years now. These nominations just prove that.
Not that I really care but you can tell MTV hate on Rihanna, girl couldn’t get a single nomination when she clearly had major hits.
Britney Spears got what she deserved: she was basically ignored. Girl’s been lip-syncing for her life since I can remember and the fact that she cannot even dance as she used to well… that says it all. Even Rihanna sings live for crying out loud!
Ummm, Adele didnt get nominated for best choreo…
dead @matt’s comment. Child please!!
The show is about music videos not about who had the most hits. Hence the name VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS. All in all Adele and Bruno do not belong in the chorergraphy catergory at all and Katy Perry deserves every last one of her nods because not only did she have a great year but she also had amazing videos this past year. Surprised Chris Brown didn’t get more nods but I am happy for the two he did get, hope he performs aswell as Beyonce.
MTV shaded the shit out of Rihanna. There is no question there. *lqi*
People are saying Granny Spears deserved more. Um for what?
Adele….thats just one big LMFAO!
Katy Perry, like Rihanna, normally gives really great visuals, so i won’t complain about her.
And as usual…its all Beyonce’s fault.
All I want to know is how Adele gets 7 nods for siting in a chair. I like her but that’s to many nods for the VMAs she should have that many for the Grammys( which based on music and chart performance). But this award show is about the videos that stand out.
This list proves why I dont like MTV, ok Adele deserves her noms but NOT for choregraphy! WHY IS CHRIS BROWN NOT IN THAT CATEGORY! Yeah 3x hello MTV! Im glad he’s nominated though. and IM NOT A RIHANNA FAN but no nominations except with Kanye, damn!
KREAYSHAWN nominated for best new artist?!? Umm has she released an album? MTV or whatever they changed their name to is full of it. We just nominate YouTube sensations who just got signed. Sh*t they shouldve nominated Jessica Black for song of the year then O.o
The black eye peas videos videos were kinda cool too…I’m sorry adele got great music but her video is kinda lame………. smh
Who the hell is Jessica Black?
Beyonce – “Run The World (Girls)” got best female video and best choreography for sure
@Ugh
You think so? I think Gaga might win best female video. Her fans are scorned and they will be voting in full force. Besides even if her fans weren’t mad, she’d still win because she has a bigger and more dedicated fan base.
But I do agree Bey is a shoo-in for best choreography. At least she should be, anyway.
Is Adele really considered Pop? I am not understanding the best Pop video nomination. Someone please explain it to me. Thanks
I get Bruno Mars nomination for Best Choreography. It was something different and it worked well with the video. It was very entertaining and nothing crazy. Also the guys that were doing the dance including Bruno were on point with the dancing. It wasn’t nothing breath taking and impossible to do! All because it’s not EXPLOSIVE doesn’t mean it’s not Best Choreography worthy. Sometimes the simplest amount of movements are the best movements.
Chris had better collaborations other than Look At Me Now. Deuces was a much better collabo than Look At Me Now. Both songs are infectious but of the two Deuces should have been up there.
I only cared about Chris 2 nominations that I didn’t realize how messed up the other categories were. LMAO, Adele and Bruno for best choreography? Tyler for VTY? noooo
ADELE IS NOT NOMINATED FOR BEST CHOREOGRAPHY! IT’S CINEMATOGRAPHY! TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS!
what Bri said. smh y’all a mess
