With the announced having already done the award-show circuit many a time over the last year, the show is going to need to pack more of punch if its looking to pull in the them all-important ratings. Last year’s show saw Janet Jackson tear down the house with her tribute to brother Michael; thus far, on paper, this year just doesn’t measure up.
That said, with this being MTV, it’s pretty much a given that the the ‘big guns’ will be announced nearer to the show. If there is any justice in the world, though a Lady GaGa / Beyonce duet (in light of all of their nominations) just has to happen!
