Absolute lol at the Panic! at the Disco–Err, sorry, The Brendon Urie Experience performing at the VMAs. He really doesn’t need a platform anymore, guys, it’s alright. And from what I hear, he’s gonna be performing “Middle of a Breakup”. Quite possibly his worst song yet.

why are we put onto this earth.

As I mentioned in the previous post of likability, Beyoncé, Charlie Puth, Dove Cameron, Post Malone and ROSALÍA all have good chances of showing up, while Demi Lovato, Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion are likely to not show up due to other commitments elsewhere. As for the rest that have been brought up:

• Bad Bunny – U…

My guess is around July 27-29.

I really am unsure because I try as much as I can to think about music videos being nominated plus the star power that comes with a lot of them, but trying to separate into categories exactly is a difficult task for me, so I’ll say a few things to expect.

I think Avril Lavigne will end up in the Best Rock category instead of Best Alternative,…[Read more]

Just gonna test the likability of these artists happening quickly:

• Beyoncé – Likely (Has no upcoming tour dates)
• Camila Cabello – Likely (Next scheduled gig is Rock In Rio 2022)
• Cardi B – Likely (No scheduled dates during certain time period)
• Charlie Puth – Likely (Has no upcoming tour dates)
• Demi Lovato – Unlikely (Has to be in Sao…

Oh my god, do you know how long it’s been since I’ve been wanting the Best Video from a Film category to come back? I would be so happy if that happened.

I think “Cash In Cash Out” by Pharrell Williams, 21 Savage & Tyler, the Creator has a potential to get a Best Art Direction and/or Best Editing nod. That has one of the coolest music videos that I’ve seen in this cycle of music videos this past year. Props to the animation team!

Ehh, he’s too established at this point to be considered for Best New Artist, not to mention all the amazing music videos he’s put out over the past four years that’s been snubbed. (i.e. SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK, Run, Gimme Love, Sanctuary) If anything, I can see a Best Alternative, Best Editing and/or Best Cinematography nomination to most…[Read more]

Okay, so after watching it a few times, I think Kendrick is definitely getting a Best Hip-Hop nod for “N95”. Great song and amazing visual.

BEST

1. INDUSTRY BABY – Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow
2. Leave The Door Open – Silk Sonic
3. deja vu – Olivia Rodrigo
4. telepatia – Kali Uchis
5. good 4 u – Olivia Rodrigo
6. MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) – Lil Nas X
7. Body – Megan Thee Stallion
8. willow – Taylor Swift
9. Beggin – Maneskin
10. Take My Breath – The Weeknd

WORST

1. Way 2 Sexy – Drake feat.…

If the short film of All Too Well gets nominated at the VMAs, I would expect for Taylor Swift to get a Best Direction nomination. And well deserved too, may I add.

I think this is the first time that a multi-headliner of that amount has happened since 2004. Honestly I’m hella excited. There’s so many medley options, especially since it seems Dre’s gonna be the centerpiece of the whole show. Like, there’s probably gonna be “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” or “The Next Episode” given Snoop’s there, maybe add a little…[Read more]

I think Lil Nas X is either gonna perform INDUSTRY BABY or THAT’S WHAT I WANT. The first choice because it’s the current single out there, and the other choice because even though it’s not been technically released, the song has been used in a lot of his promotional material lately (TikToks, album promo, tracklist reveal).

I believe MTV is basically bringing over the European lifetime achievement award to America for the first time. Honestly, I don’t get it either, but if it means that the European achievements get recognized during the formal presentation of the award, that would be amazing. Bon Jovi, Queen, Whitney Houston, Eminem, Ozzy Osbourne, Duran Duran,…[Read more]

Man, there’s so many artists that can be given the MJVVA or the Tricon Awards, or whatever the hell they’re calling it this year. For starters, I can definitely see it going to Jay-Z should MTV keep with the New York theme this year. Alternatively, I can see it going to Eminem; he’s currently the artist with the most wins that has not been…[Read more]

Honestly, I would’ve cut out Harry and Shawn’s videos, and boom, Best Pop is back to normal. Harry because although TPWK has a great message, its already nominated in a category celebrating that message, and also it didn’t do very well on the US charts. (#118) Shawn because Wonder had great visuals, but again, even though the song did decent,…[Read more]

I think that should probably help for context. It’s deemed ‘long-term’, so really it can end at any time. Although, I wouldn’t wish that to end just for a 15-minute medley watched by millions of people, even with its significance. Swift’s actually made…[Read more]

That being said, why has no one mentioned the Foo Fighters? I think that would be pretty badass. Plus, I don’t think an Alternative Rock act has headlined the show in the past ten years. With the rise of artists like Billie Eilish and a trendy resurface of rock music thanks to “good 4 u” and “my ex’s best friend” for example, I think it’s a great…[Read more]

I think y’all are forgetting one important thing; As exciting as a Taylor Swift halftime show could be, she’s still sponsored by Coca-Cola. Remember; this is Pepsi’s sponsored halftime show. Not to knock the sails off anything, but any music artist that’s sponsored by Coca-Cola might be advised not to do the show until at least Pepsi no longer s…[Read more]

I think that if MTV does what they did last year for Push Best New Artist, giving a whole range of artists and then narrowing the list down as the ceremony date gets closer, I can see the final three definitely being Olivia Rodrigo, The Kid LAROI & Polo G.
