TitanicSurvivor Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Hopefully Xtina & Latto will get nominated for their song, i remember being blown away by it, the best rap/sung collaboration in years and the mv is just 2 2
AdrianNicki Posted April 24 Posted April 24 (edited) Since everybody and their grandmas is releasing an album this year, I expect a packed show. Edited April 24 by AdrianNicki 5

Benji124 Posted April 24 Posted April 24 hopefully Gaga is in promo mode for Joker by then and presents this year 1
LadyDiana Posted April 24 Posted April 24 This could potentially be a great return of vma's. Get Taylor, Billie, Ariana, dare I say queen B to perform and numbers will skyrocket! We need VMA back! New glory days!!!

I hate arenas for award shows. Get them in a theater so all the industry people can sit close together so they can start mess and have fun moments together 1

But then again I just remembered that this is mtv VIDEO music awards, and since Bey hasn't released ANY visuals since that side project with Jay Z, I don't think they are even inviting her But still it would be nice, one performance from her, one from Taylor, Miley, Billie, Katy can even premiere her new stuff there.... ugh so many ideas

So I'm sure that in this era we won't get any performs before tour... again.
ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted April 24 ATRL Moderator Posted April 24 Hoping we get an Ariana performance (and VOTY win) 1 1

Or just let this era have a short life and release act iii later this year. And then tour. But back on VMA's, this year could be good for the views. Last year they had some sucsess, be smart and they can have a cute lil comeback to relevancy among younger ppl

GeminiCat Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Too many big names dropping first half of the year plus new up and comers making waves rn for them not to put together a good show this year. But it's MTV so can't count them out.

Post Malone "Hiss" - Megan Thee Stallion "Monaco" - Bad Bunny (winner) "On My Mama" - Victoria Monet "One of Your Girls" - Troye Sivan "we can't be friends (wait for your love) - Ariana Grande As much as I do enjoy Bad Bunny's music, "MONACO" was quite front-loaded with weak longevity and its music video was pretty by-the-numbers for this type of elite braggadocious atmosphere. And I had everything to be biased as a Formula 1 fan. Doubt it's even going to be nominated, let alone win. I'd probably replace it with "First Person Shooter" by Drake ft. J. Cole. "On My Mama" and especially "One Of Your Girls" would be super inspired nominations, but ultimately, I think the main fight for this fan-driven award will be a rematch of 2019: "Fortnight" vs. "we can't be friends (wait for your love)", with the winner likely being determined on whoever attends. Shout-out to Doja Cat's "Agora Hills", Jung Kook's "Standing Next To You", Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso", and Dua Lipa's "Illusion" as other worthy nomination contenders.
