i feel like the last time this show was actually relevant was like 2010/11 and they kinda stayed afloat by giving all these big artists that vanguard award til kanye finally killed it by ranting for a whole 15 mins instead of performing lol

Hmm that's a good point. The video vanguard award is the only reason I tuned in this year and last year haha!

Yeah the last big hurrah the VMAs had was the Kanye moment. After that they've hoping for another scandal but alas none.

ya, i think they tried it w the nicki/miley feud or nicki/taylor but it just didn't have the same impact

[genbu_no_miko24]

LOL they missed out since it was mostly on twitter and Nicki/Taylor made up before the awards.

Miley even backed down when Nicki called her out on stage....didn't go far after that.

LOL it's so funny because everyone is posting "I miss the 2010 VMAs!!!" because there is a photo of Nicki/Katy/Rihanna/Kesha together.... but that wasn't a great year either. The last ~moment~ that the VMAs had that will be talked about forever it Taylor/Kanye.

The Gaga stans try to act like the Paparazzi performance is influential, but it really wasn't for the general public. Twitter gays, sure. I remember I was shook and had the performance on my iPod video. But none of my friends cared at all.

Paparazzi was in 2009 tho

[marthasback]

poorly worded, but I meant people are saying they miss 2010 but 2009 was the last year iconic things happened

i was a gaga stan at the time but i found that performance SO ott and annoying ksjdsjd tbf tho it happened the same year as the kanye/taylor thing so i can see why no one cared about her lol
