IGGY JUST KILLED!!! Performed like a queen haters Die cuz she ain’t going n e where!!! Also Nicki killed ! Performers so far has been great!!!! Bring on the KING!! BEY
#TeamTinashe Stan (GIRL BYE; #BEYVMAs)August 24, 2014
I liked Taylor Swifts performance so far; I thought it was absolutely cute! The opening made me feel sad for Jessie J. I want her to win so bad because I think she is incredibly talented and I feel people are only paying attention to Ariana (Who’s another fave of mines) and Nicki.
I actually liked nicki. I just expect better. But thats an oxymoron.
UGHAugust 24, 2014
LOL did anyone catch that JLO shade to Nicki out in the audience? Ariana needs to enunciate her words. It sounded like she has toothpaste in her mouth. But she is way more confident now. Good for her. Jessie J did it for me. Nicki even did well with Anaconda, but I still can’t get into that song.
it’s not the first time i heard someone say that about ariana,her team needs to make sure she learns how to enunciate and she also needs work on her breathing exercises,otherwise love ha !
No, she performed at a prestigious festival in Paris today. She didn’t have time to be in a room full of trash.
Did Ke$hit even make the first five rows? Dead at her being like the first person to arrive, even when the only A-lister there is Bey. Early arrivals are for nobodies.
Mess of an award show, the only good performances are Nicki Minaj – Anaconda and Usher – She came and gave it to you. The rest was horribly mediocre.
‘
I cannot believe I’m saying this but I’m actually looking forward to Beyonce’s performance.
ARIANA OPENING (ALONE)’WAS WACK, SHE LOOKED LIKE A KID HOPPING AROUND THE CANDY STORE..
NICKI MINAJ ANACONDA PERFORMANCE WAS KILLER!!!, FIRST TIME I LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL SONG, SHE DID REALLY GOOD..
JESSIE VOCALS OF COURSE SLAYED….
“BANG BANG” GROUP PERFORMANCE WAS CLOSE TO BEING TRASH..IT WASN’T BAD BUT IT WAS ON THE VERGE OF BEING SO…
ARIANA VOCALS WERE ON POINT IN THE FINAL ROUND..
OVERALL ALL TOGETHER THE DID VERY GOOD, BUT NICKI SHITTED ON EM WITH HER PERFORMANCE.
Iggy slayed! She looked perfect and the performance had a ton of energy; she just needs to work a bit on her breath control. At least she actually rapped live, unlike the other one!
And Twitter has been dragging Ariana since the second she stepped on the red carpet, LMAO.
Rosie you better drag that Kesha stan. And I thought Ariana’s vocals slayed tho. Rita’s did too. That black widow performance was actually hot. Waiting for bey tho!!!!
Nicki was not lipsynching. Do you people even know what the hell you’re talking about? Don’t get mad cuz she was the best thing at this s***** mess of an award show. Yall try to clown em, but Ill keep my BET. There shows are always top notch.
where is the slayage? Beyonce done started the lipsynching on Drunk In Love” did y’all catch it? And this s*** is boring.. TBH blue singing was the best part (but why was she singing let me sit this ass with her baby in the audience?)
The slayage wow kii. Poor everyone. Especially Ariana who had the nerve to get her malnourished ass on stage after Bey lol. Extra kii if My Everything sells less than 200K first week like HDD is predicting after all this promo and d***-sucking at Viacom. She can sing though.
Tha Carter Family slayed my whole entire life! Blue Ivy snatched every lacefront wig! Beyonce was everything! So deserved #Greatness #BlueSoCute #Aww 😉
DEATH AT KIM KARTRASHIAN AND HER ATTENTION SEEKING WAYS
FOLLOWING BEYONCE ALONG WITH HER FELLOW HOOKERS ALL THE WAY TO HER DRESSING ROOM NOT REALIZING THAT BEY DOES NOT ASSOCIATE WITH G GRADE FILTH
Yawnce’s performance was a YAWN. Michael Jacskon would be ashamed she got that award. She uses HEAVY backing tracks and LOTS of reverb to make her voice sound better than it is. She lip synched too, and didn’t even dance that much. So, Sam, what was her excuse for lip synching?
DEATH @ the haters saying Blue was the best part of the show. I promise your faves could NEVA! Beyonce SLAYYED! All of the other performers were boring.
@HoneyChild
‘
I was about to rewind to the Taylor Sh!t, I mean Swift performance; it was less boring than Beyonce’s performance, even though it was also horribly boring.
Nickis “twerking” is so off. I knew when it “jiggled”in the video it was the studio magic of the freeze frames making it looks like she was thoroughly bouncing her cheeks. She can’t even pop right, let alone twerk. Mediocre and lipsynched.. As predicted.
–
Ariana was decent, still something is missing I was not living but it was decent. Maybe it’s cause she refuses to pronounce her syllables.?
–
Jessi J sings.
–
Love usher!!!
–
Iggy did decent, her energy was good.
–
Beyonce: The Standard slay and saver of the day, BEST HANDS DOWN.
Lol, people thought they were gonna get a ‘Mrs. Carter’ quality performance from a free awards show honoring her?
Now y’all know Beyonce has never played that, lmao. That was early 90’s Beyonce, if you want to see the magic you gon’ pay is the Beyonce we have now.
I’m not mad, after this many years her quality is not in question and I KNEW that was about the performance she’d give. Folks were building this up like she was gonna be changing costumes and doing her entire discography.
Beyonce wasn’t in the early 90s. Destinys Child came out in 1998. You Beyonce fans need to take a break from riding her c*** and stop making her out to be more than what she is: Basic.
Biitch the basic hoees are u, your mother and your favs.
SMHAugust 25, 2014
Not half as basic as Robotyonce and her brain dead fans.
RihboyAugust 24, 2014
Was i the only one that noticed most of beys performance was lip service? She kept that mic practically in her mouth the whole time. Moreover, it was your typical mr carter/otr rerun. Im tired of her using blue as a pawn for fake tears and empathy. Why are you crying about blue? Is it because she really aint yours! ?
Just now seeing Taylor’s performance. Love the song, but she’s so awkward and doesn’t really sing well live. Whatever, I already preordered my copy of 1989!
I just don’t fit this demographic anymore, lol. Usher is the best male performer of our time and his shows are just blah at best. I see no growth nor can really tell the difference from this, BET awards, OMG in 2010, his Billboard show or his last era shows. Switch it up man, and that’s coming from a huge fan. Nicki could’ve stayed off the stage on Ushers time.
Beyonce was ok for the first time since her DC days. Most don’t know her songs off that album, so why she picked that route Chris Browns me. And the lil family gathering just proves to me that they are getting a divorce.
Iggy is pulling a Nicki and added air in her ass. Everyone on twitter are still wondering what’s a Rita OrNah.
Taylor Swift, please jusy sit still and stop begging for attention. I’m sick of every time am Urban artist performs, you have to “White Girl Dance” the whole time. Just stop it. And someone give J. Lo a snickers, cause she was bored on that All Access Stream.
Oh and clearly someone gave One Direction some instruments and put a 5SOS sticker up front.
SCREAMING at 5 seconds of relevance, like who the hell are those mediocre basic band for lonely tweeny no life white gurls to obsess over. Well hopefully they’ll rid this world of NO Direction.
THAT ALL ACCESS STREAM WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT THE SHOW SPENT MOST OF THE TIME WATCHING IT AND NOT THE MAIN SHOW
LB (Shanene > Wanda)August 24, 2014
SCREAMING!!!! Ya I agree, I was mostly on Twitter.
#TeamTinashe Stan (GIRL BYE; #BEYVMAs)August 24, 2014
Twitter was on one tonight! So hilarious. I absolutely HATED the host, they only made him do atleast two or three segments and told him that he can go home and forget about the closing segment for the night lol.
–
Tbh, Beyonce’s performance was good but since I never really liked the album I didn’t enjoy the performance that much. I was just waiting for “Flawless” and that’s all.
I was really upset that MTV showed her daughter in the crowd and then they switched back to Beyonce saying “…..Sit this a** on you” something like that. SMH!
HASHTAG: #WhyDidntSamWin? #Rigged
#TeamTinashe Stan (“Pretend” Ft. ASAP Rocky On iTunes 8.25.14))August 24, 2014
And Usher…. Usher…. sigh. I was clearly in to his performance more than everyone else’s but he disappointed me again just like the BET Awards. He really had a chance to prove me wrong but nope.
–
And Sam didn’t win. Even Katy Perry was like “What?”
I can’t. This has to be…. THE gayest VMA’s ever. The performers were BASICally cherry picked for the young tumblr kqweens screaming YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssss everytime their faves perform. I find it funny that all these performers have only a handful of hits between them. At least they all looked good.
LAZARETTO JACK WHITE aka PRINCE MACHIAVELAugust 24, 2014
Oh My God Dead @Gwen Stefani Clapping Only With Two Fingers After That Wack Ass Taylor Performance!!! Lolololooooololol I Can’t, But The B**** Deserves It With SimiliCountry Music And Nowww………..Poooop?!! Girl Please Ciao Ciao!!!!
Until tonight I’ve never seen Jay-Z and Beyonce show any kind of affection towards eachother. They actually kissed. S*** was more surprising then her performance. The set list leaked earlier so I knew it would be long and drawn out. That kiss had me thinking how hard it is to stay married. I just how that they aren’t feeding into what the media says because could end their marriage.
The awards are voted for by the fans so what did you expect? The mtv demographic is teenage girls.
And nice try mark666. Showing affection to your man onstage means your getting a divorce?
Because cheryl is very busy shooting her new music video in Spain. She has an album coming out, unlike your fave.
crushwarsAugust 24, 2014
Nicki was the best performer at this. And even she was low key. Like not her typical animated self. I stayed up for Beyonce, where was her typical energy? Something was lacking. i can’t believe I stayed up to watch this. The celebs in the audience was all lost looking or disgusted. I don’t know.
“The Greatest Living Entertainer Alive” – Jay Z…
–
Beyonce killed it. She is a constant professional. There is no one in the industry like her today. She does not even need huge album sales or huge single sales. Rihanna outsold her (with mostly 1.29 singles) but Bey still has more money, power & respect in the industry.
–
I adore you, Lovelybird but yo girl could never do what Beyonce been doing for the past 10 years LIVE on that stage night after night, tour after tour.
–
Put it like this…
.
BEYONCE IS WHITNEY HOUSTON … WHILE RIHANNA IS MARIAH CAREY
.
One can do it LIVE the other well…
She did deliver. It was not a DOMINATE POWERFUL SASHA FIERCE performance but she still did mostly her entire album & did good. No one, in the industry RIGHT NOW can do what is she doing on a constant level like this. Her professionalism is almost parallel to Young Michael Jackson.
LB (Shanene > Wanda)August 24, 2014
You’re being a stan, she was ok but not amazing. She performed but didn’t deliver. It is not about no one else delivering like she did (looking at J-Lo), it is about Beyonce delivering like Beyonce does and she didn’t.
UGHAugust 25, 2014
Damn you’re ignorant. I see why you stan for Beyoncé on here, and then turn around and stan for Mariah on YouTube… You have a mental issue… no wait… mental issues! Whitney and Mariah are NOT AT ALL like Beyoncé and Riri. Mariah & Whitney are vocalists who proved their live points long ago and are Worldwide vocalists who inspired millions of singers; Ri & Bey are entertainers who are NOW and each do what they need to do for their own fanbase. The fact that you can compare the four, let alone think that you’re preaching just SCREAMS YOU ARE RETARDED!
No, your the one who’s retarded. I AM NOT COMPARING MARIAH CAREY/WHITNEY HOUSTON too THEM! ONLY Mark111 or Lovebird would understand that comparison I used. The comment was not written for YOU! Also, don’t be stalking me on Youtube
UGHAugust 25, 2014
B**** please. I DO NOT stalk your mental ass on YouTube. I was on the Breakfast Club channel and saw your F-A-G-G-O-TTTTY ass trying to take up for Mariah. As I said, STFU with your RETARDED ASS! You have NO LIFE!
Stephy.August 25, 2014
Like I Said, Stop Stalking Me!
CATFISH CAREYAugust 24, 2014
SAM SMITH WAS OKAY BUT HE SOUNDED OFF KEY HERE AND THERE
ALL WAS NEEDED WAS A GOOD PERFORMANCE BY A REAL ROCK BAND EG FOO FIGHTERS
You gor 5 seconds of relevance instead, and MAROON 5s pitchy mess.
‘
I’ve now decided the only place I’ll be listening to MAROON 5 music is on my phone.
BEYONCE KILLED IT, IT WAS SOOOO DIFFERENT & PROVED SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO DO ALL UP TEMPO SONGS TO MAKE A PERFORMANCE LEGENDARY..
EVEN TAYLOR SWIFT & LORD WAS CRYING..EVEN CIARA WAS STANNIN AND CONGRADLUATED HER VIA TWITTER..
BEYONCE IS THE.BEST AT WHAT SHE DOES & HER PERFORMANCE WAS SOO MOODY & SOMETHING MAJORITY OF YOUR FAVORITES COULDN’T DO!!
Beyonce & Nicki had the BEST performances..
SUCK IT UP & DEAL WITH IT..
P.S YALL MAD THAT BEY SLAYED THE VMA ..WELL HER OTR TOUR IS ALMOST OVER & THE GRAMMYS IS ON THE WAY..SHE HAS BEEN AWAY FROM THE AWARD STAGES FIR TO LONG
Beyonce’s performance was grown and s***!
Only reason y’all said it was boring cuz there was not
a lot of dancing on most songs! She stil slayeddd!
When will u get it thru ur head Beyonce will never fail
when it comes to performance?? Yeah I said it….
Mark111 (Kermit Cannon and Piggy Carey is OVER)August 24, 2014
No, it wasn’t a great show, sorry. I know what it wasm the songs. She should’ve did a greatest hits performance and did her hits cause the audience did NOT know most of the songs her did. This isn’t even in her top 10 nor 20 imo.
I agree, she should have done a medley of her old hits and added a few of the new songs people actually know like Drunk in love and XO.
‘
It was very underwhelming and seeing that it involves routines she is not used to doing, she didn’t have the same energy or memorized type moves she does on songs she’s been performing for years like Crazy in love.
‘
Just my opinion but she could have done better, a lot better.
Mark111 (Kermit Cannon and Piggy Carey is OVER)August 24, 2014
Yep, I’m not saying it was bad, it was still good, but not great nor epic. So these stans can put their “yassssss” cards aways until next time.
DIGGER BEYAugust 25, 2014
No No No biitch! My Stan cards and your favs Stan cards says “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! SLAY BIITCH! YOURE THE BEST! #BOW IT DOWN BIITCH
JERAugust 24, 2014
Just watched Beyonce. Everyone needs to just stop what they’re doing. Pack their bags, wigs, weaves, and songs and just go home. It’s over. Done. That performance was a game changer, life-giver, career ender. BYE
And you’re obviously one deaf, dumb, and blind Basicyonce stan.
DIGGER BEYAugust 25, 2014
This hoee is beyond pressed lmaoooooo. It seems like to me you’re the deaf, dumb, blind, idiotic, delusional, shiit praiser. For stanning for that fav of yours.
ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED)August 24, 2014
AS PREDICTED AND EXPECTED, BEYONCE SHUT THE SH*T ALL THE WAY DOWN!! WHO ELSE PERFORMED TONIGHT????? I SERIOUSLY DON’T REMEMBER?? OH WELL, DOESN’T MATTER CLEARLY! THEY WERE JUST FILLERS UNTIL BEYONCE WAS READY TO CLOSE DOWN THE SHOW! POOR RITA WAS LOOKING LIKE “THAT’LL NEVER BE ME.”
Just for the slayage that Gagas medley would be. I don’t see any other pop girl that can compete with Gagas performing.
Mark111 (Kermit Cannon and Piggy Carey is OVER)August 24, 2014
And Rihanna after that. Eminem will more than likely get it next year. Kanye West. This is for people with 10 years careers and so far artists that owns the year they are rewarded (JT 2013 and Bey 2014) Gags career is on it’s last leg, but her videos are great, but she just need to put in more time and work imo.
CherylSoldierrAugust 25, 2014
It is not on its last leg. It was a polarizing album made up of edm music. That’s not necessarily mainstream appeal. She has talent. She’ll be absolutely fine.
Bey AdvocateAugust 24, 2014
Ok y’all saying it was boring….like who did better? Please let me kno
But I will say as a huge Stan I was a little disappointed when she first hit the stage, only because it’s the VMAs I expected theatrics, a bombing intro, killer dance moves, yet she toned it down and performed most of the album…but after going back watching the performance after knowing what to expect, it really came out great, on my 5th view #help
Loved JessieJ ‘Bang Bang’ kept it classy & did what she does best SING!!! Only Female Performer that wasn’t surround by half naked dancers to distract US!! S*** but not offensive!
Think BEYONCE really gone off track -NOT SURE WHAT SHE’S SELLING ANYMORE -I get it with Nicki Minaj she’s exactly what she selling(if that’s what UR looking to buy)but Beyonce supposedly into Empowerment & Family -lost her way -not just tonight-been awhile now I’m afraid!!
her 15minutes to show the world what BEYONCE is made off was reduced to a “we are happily married, look at our child, look at how happy we are pretending to be right now…look look look!!!!!!!!!!!!!see told you its love not moola”
Mark666 (Flopnet is Next Once the Judge Rules in Piggy’s Favor)August 25, 2014
Bey did ok. You can tell she was lip singing and talking to the audience when the prerecorded track stops playing. Overall, she is one of the best performers of our generation. That album is still forgettable and barely decent. I only heard snippets and that was enough for me. I guess it’s time for Sam to write up a few paragraphs on Beyoncé’s vocals…. The Divorcing Chanteuse style
Mark666 (Flopnet is Next Once the Judge Rules in Piggy’s Favor)August 25, 2014
Why was Sam pitchy? He was the disappointment of the bio night because he’s one of the VERY VERY VERY FEW to have talent. Iggy can’t breathe with that fake Tiny accent. If she used her voice, then no problems would occur. Taylor needs to be slapped. She is a horrible live/studio act. It was cute 10 years ago, but now… N-O! Since she is selling millions though, I can’t shade… That much. 😉
Anyone catch JLO’s shady faces towards B, Nicki, and etc.? That ish was TOO funny. She literally looked like “This b****.” & “She really think she performing.” & “She calls that s*** dancing?” & “Benny, when do I go home to my twins?” & “Benny tell me when the camera pans on me so I can ‘smile.'” #ShadyBitch
Beyonce is held to such a high standard, just remember that. This performance slayed any other pop female out, but was mild just because it’s beyonce. I’d much rather have that problem than be a katy perry, who has absolutely no rhythm.
Death at you trying to hide behind cheryl. And death at my girl being able to perform and entertain a crowd.
DIGGER BEYAugust 25, 2014
Celebrities once again BOWING DOWN TO THE GREATEST PERFORMER SINCE MJ!
#Terrance J Beyonce >>>>>>
#Busta Rythmes Bet U r truly the best performer of our generation.
#K Michelle One of the most beautiful moments in music ever. Just awesome Beyonce.
#Will I Am Beyonce is the best artist on earth.
#Ciara Congrats Beyonce – Love and Respect Always
#MTV BOW DOWN
#Us Weekly The Queen still owns the throne.
#Billboard Shows over. Nothing can come after Beyonce.
#Pink Beyonce just made me cry. She also made my daughter dance.
#J HUD We love u Beyonce! Congrats. Well deserved! U inspire us all!
Raggedy biitch, when did Pink become an d lister????? She’s bigger than that sluut u Stan for kii kii. You just continue to seeeeeeth over the Worthy Praise kii kii
I was unmoved by it all.
The stiffness of Ariana & Iggy is just shocking. Jessie J saaaang, Ariana found her inner Mariah…. again, Taylor was bland and Beyonce didn’t surprise or inspire
Poor Sam Smith!
He had to sit next to talentless Katy Perry and Milye Cyrus. I mean, it can´t get worse than that. He was the best performance cause he sang so beautifully and without flaws such a simple song but so deep. That´s music. Most of the other things I heard were noise.
I agree with the people saying the bar is on an all time low. At least there were a few people who can sing… but the music is terrible so it doesn´t count.
I suppose Beyonce did good. It´s the one I still have not seen. I´ll do it now.
Also, is it neccesary to show all the female asses as if they were s**** ready to please men? It´s getting worse and worse.
The Pop megadiva may have been shocked to see she wasn’t #1 on Billboard’s ‘Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century‘ list last week, but this week she finds herself looking down on the competition on a number of… Read More

Ariana, Nicki, and Jessie killed that stage and set fire to it before the show could even get started.
THAT’S how you do a trio song with everyone performing their own parts.
Shoot, it actually made me take Ariana serious as a performer.
IGGY JUST KILLED!!! Performed like a queen haters Die cuz she ain’t going n e where!!! Also Nicki killed ! Performers so far has been great!!!! Bring on the KING!! BEY
Stop lyiing. She has NO stage presence but her songs are catchy
PLEASE! Iggy was GREAT!
Tahold Swift thou was kinda boring, I expected more from her considering the music video and song.
The only good part was when she cracked that joke about not jumping from the top of the stage and hurting herself.
Girl could have done better.
They killed it!!!! Nicki ain’t playing!!!!
It was actually pretty decent
all three did there thing, love.
Nicki’s live porno was a mess tho…Just bring out Beyonce so she can shut this sh*t down
Yea nicki solo was a mess
I liked Taylor Swifts performance so far; I thought it was absolutely cute! The opening made me feel sad for Jessie J. I want her to win so bad because I think she is incredibly talented and I feel people are only paying attention to Ariana (Who’s another fave of mines) and Nicki.
But nicki had to hold her dress shut! Such a mess. Arianna is slowly getting stage presence. Jessie j was so boring.
but you always om Nicki’s D*** sigh you are such a sad sad individual.
I actually liked nicki. I just expect better. But thats an oxymoron.
LOL did anyone catch that JLO shade to Nicki out in the audience? Ariana needs to enunciate her words. It sounded like she has toothpaste in her mouth. But she is way more confident now. Good for her. Jessie J did it for me. Nicki even did well with Anaconda, but I still can’t get into that song.
it’s not the first time i heard someone say that about ariana,her team needs to make sure she learns how to enunciate and she also needs work on her breathing exercises,otherwise love ha !
GREAT JOB NICKI, ARIANA, AND JESSIE J!
NUFF’ SAID!
OH AND TAYLOR THAT WAS FUNNY WHEN YOU WENT DOWN THE STEPS!
I HATE JLO AND THATS THAT.
Taylor was really cute. Ariana and Jessie’s vocals slayed!!! Sam too! Usher is still performing this tired song?
Nicki gave my life!!!!!
Nicki is truly trash…. is Lana del snooze performing?
No, she performed at a prestigious festival in Paris today. She didn’t have time to be in a room full of trash.
Did Ke$hit even make the first five rows? Dead at her being like the first person to arrive, even when the only A-lister there is Bey. Early arrivals are for nobodies.
Nicki, Ariana & Jessie Slayed down. The only other performance worth watching now is Beyonce.
I’m only here for King Bey. I’m ready for her slay my TV.
THE AUDIENCE LIVE STREAM CAM IS WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL SHOW
Nicki Minaj was #lame
And lip singing for her life
Nicki was lipsyching the whole dam time. Seriously their performance was hella wack..
!!!
No respect for lip-syncers!
Iggy needs to work on her breath control, she sounds like she’s dying and it’s only a injure into her performance.
I will say this: the outfits and stage set up are gorgeous.
I can see she’s not playing and wants to make up for falling off that stage.
GOOOO OFFF IGGY NEW QUEEN OF RAP!!!!
YASSSS!
Mess of an award show, the only good performances are Nicki Minaj – Anaconda and Usher – She came and gave it to you. The rest was horribly mediocre.
‘
I cannot believe I’m saying this but I’m actually looking forward to Beyonce’s performance.
Sam slayed tho
He was very pitchy
ARIANA OPENING (ALONE)’WAS WACK, SHE LOOKED LIKE A KID HOPPING AROUND THE CANDY STORE..
NICKI MINAJ ANACONDA PERFORMANCE WAS KILLER!!!, FIRST TIME I LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL SONG, SHE DID REALLY GOOD..
JESSIE VOCALS OF COURSE SLAYED….
“BANG BANG” GROUP PERFORMANCE WAS CLOSE TO BEING TRASH..IT WASN’T BAD BUT IT WAS ON THE VERGE OF BEING SO…
ARIANA VOCALS WERE ON POINT IN THE FINAL ROUND..
OVERALL ALL TOGETHER THE DID VERY GOOD, BUT NICKI SHITTED ON EM WITH HER PERFORMANCE.
NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR MILEY
Iggy slayed! She looked perfect and the performance had a ton of energy; she just needs to work a bit on her breath control. At least she actually rapped live, unlike the other one!
And Twitter has been dragging Ariana since the second she stepped on the red carpet, LMAO.
Rosie you better drag that Kesha stan. And I thought Ariana’s vocals slayed tho. Rita’s did too. That black widow performance was actually hot. Waiting for bey tho!!!!
Wtf Nicki performance was average at best. She don’t do much and lipsyncing my god if your able to rap with a mic u can sing live also..
Nicki was not lipsynching. Do you people even know what the hell you’re talking about? Don’t get mad cuz she was the best thing at this s***** mess of an award show. Yall try to clown em, but Ill keep my BET. There shows are always top notch.
Katy looks trashy for coming w riff raff and that outfit.
You can post a million times but the fact still remains Nicki slayed!!!!!!
Queen!!!!!
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
MY WIG IS STILL INTACT
where is the slayage? Beyonce done started the lipsynching on Drunk In Love” did y’all catch it? And this s*** is boring.. TBH blue singing was the best part (but why was she singing let me sit this ass with her baby in the audience?)
Where is Nicki ???????????
I was fcuked AND didn’t even want any COOCK
Holy sht!
Blu Ivy clapping and saying, “Go Mommy!”‘
THAT is everything!
Lol, Kim looked a little salty in the audience like, “Oh so this b**** can show up and perform but can’t return my phone calls.”
Death. Where is her stan?
Meh, Beyonce’s performance was just OK. Wasted my time watching this show.
IT WAS LIKE WATCHING SNIPPETS OF HER MRS CARTER SHOW.
I think the Mrs Carter Show had better performances.
YET YOU STAYED TIL THE END JUST FOR YOUR QUEEN. AS YOU SHOULD!
Yes I did watch the whole performance, what is your point?
queen nicki started it,then queen lock it down.over all everyone did there thing in there own way.
The slayage wow kii. Poor everyone. Especially Ariana who had the nerve to get her malnourished ass on stage after Bey lol. Extra kii if My Everything sells less than 200K first week like HDD is predicting after all this promo and d***-sucking at Viacom. She can sing though.
Wait, I think that was just the rerun coming back on. Nevermind.
death @ malnourished
I agree, Blue Ivy was the best part of the performance, otherwise her performance was very basic. No slayage, my wig is still intact.
Tha Carter Family slayed my whole entire life! Blue Ivy snatched every lacefront wig! Beyonce was everything! So deserved #Greatness #BlueSoCute #Aww 😉
Beyonce no child honey was not impressed
Beyonce i was not impressed
Most of the performances were lacking, I have
seen more showmanship from my old high schools,
talent shows in the Cafegymatorium!
Blue Ivy was the highlight for me.
#BoredAsFuck
QUEEN slayed all the b****** into pieces of s***.
Anyway time to pay for my copy of My Everything – Ariana Grande
DEATH AT KIM KARTRASHIAN AND HER ATTENTION SEEKING WAYS
FOLLOWING BEYONCE ALONG WITH HER FELLOW HOOKERS ALL THE WAY TO HER DRESSING ROOM NOT REALIZING THAT BEY DOES NOT ASSOCIATE WITH G GRADE FILTH
Beyonce = Basic & overrated
At a Cierror stan calling anyone basic.
Yawnce’s performance was a YAWN. Michael Jacskon would be ashamed she got that award. She uses HEAVY backing tracks and LOTS of reverb to make her voice sound better than it is. She lip synched too, and didn’t even dance that much. So, Sam, what was her excuse for lip synching?
Honey beyonce performance was so damn boring, i was about to paint my house just to watch it dry, certainly more entertaining
Like seriously Beyonce was a HUGE LET DOWN.
DEATH @ the haters saying Blue was the best part of the show. I promise your faves could NEVA! Beyonce SLAYYED! All of the other performers were boring.
You’re being a stan. Beyonce was good, but she didn’t KILL it like she been doing all decade. Let’s be real and I wan’t her to shut it DOWN!
@HoneyChild
‘
I was about to rewind to the Taylor Sh!t, I mean Swift performance; it was less boring than Beyonce’s performance, even though it was also horribly boring.
Nickis “twerking” is so off. I knew when it “jiggled”in the video it was the studio magic of the freeze frames making it looks like she was thoroughly bouncing her cheeks. She can’t even pop right, let alone twerk. Mediocre and lipsynched.. As predicted.
–
Ariana was decent, still something is missing I was not living but it was decent. Maybe it’s cause she refuses to pronounce her syllables.?
–
Jessi J sings.
–
Love usher!!!
–
Iggy did decent, her energy was good.
–
Beyonce: The Standard slay and saver of the day, BEST HANDS DOWN.
Everything you wrote!! Even Beyonce’s lackluster
is better than all the chicks, that performed tonight’s
best.
I thought it was just me who can’t make out
what Ariana sings live! Annunciation would
be nice..
Lol, people thought they were gonna get a ‘Mrs. Carter’ quality performance from a free awards show honoring her?
Now y’all know Beyonce has never played that, lmao. That was early 90’s Beyonce, if you want to see the magic you gon’ pay is the Beyonce we have now.
I’m not mad, after this many years her quality is not in question and I KNEW that was about the performance she’d give. Folks were building this up like she was gonna be changing costumes and doing her entire discography.
Beyonce wasn’t in the early 90s. Destinys Child came out in 1998. You Beyonce fans need to take a break from riding her c*** and stop making her out to be more than what she is: Basic.
Biitch the basic hoees are u, your mother and your favs.
Not half as basic as Robotyonce and her brain dead fans.
Was i the only one that noticed most of beys performance was lip service? She kept that mic practically in her mouth the whole time. Moreover, it was your typical mr carter/otr rerun. Im tired of her using blue as a pawn for fake tears and empathy. Why are you crying about blue? Is it because she really aint yours! ?
Just now seeing Taylor’s performance. Love the song, but she’s so awkward and doesn’t really sing well live. Whatever, I already preordered my copy of 1989!
I just don’t fit this demographic anymore, lol. Usher is the best male performer of our time and his shows are just blah at best. I see no growth nor can really tell the difference from this, BET awards, OMG in 2010, his Billboard show or his last era shows. Switch it up man, and that’s coming from a huge fan. Nicki could’ve stayed off the stage on Ushers time.
Beyonce was ok for the first time since her DC days. Most don’t know her songs off that album, so why she picked that route Chris Browns me. And the lil family gathering just proves to me that they are getting a divorce.
Iggy is pulling a Nicki and added air in her ass. Everyone on twitter are still wondering what’s a Rita OrNah.
Taylor Swift, please jusy sit still and stop begging for attention. I’m sick of every time am Urban artist performs, you have to “White Girl Dance” the whole time. Just stop it. And someone give J. Lo a snickers, cause she was bored on that All Access Stream.
Oh and clearly someone gave One Direction some instruments and put a 5SOS sticker up front.
SCREAMING at 5 seconds of relevance, like who the hell are those mediocre basic band for lonely tweeny no life white gurls to obsess over. Well hopefully they’ll rid this world of NO Direction.
THAT ALL ACCESS STREAM WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT THE SHOW SPENT MOST OF THE TIME WATCHING IT AND NOT THE MAIN SHOW
SCREAMING!!!! Ya I agree, I was mostly on Twitter.
Twitter was on one tonight! So hilarious. I absolutely HATED the host, they only made him do atleast two or three segments and told him that he can go home and forget about the closing segment for the night lol.
–
Tbh, Beyonce’s performance was good but since I never really liked the album I didn’t enjoy the performance that much. I was just waiting for “Flawless” and that’s all.
I was really upset that MTV showed her daughter in the crowd and then they switched back to Beyonce saying “…..Sit this a** on you” something like that. SMH!
HASHTAG: #WhyDidntSamWin? #Rigged
And Usher…. Usher…. sigh. I was clearly in to his performance more than everyone else’s but he disappointed me again just like the BET Awards. He really had a chance to prove me wrong but nope.
–
And Sam didn’t win. Even Katy Perry was like “What?”
I can’t. This has to be…. THE gayest VMA’s ever. The performers were BASICally cherry picked for the young tumblr kqweens screaming YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssss everytime their faves perform. I find it funny that all these performers have only a handful of hits between them. At least they all looked good.
Oh My God Dead @Gwen Stefani Clapping Only With Two Fingers After That Wack Ass Taylor Performance!!! Lolololooooololol I Can’t, But The B**** Deserves It With SimiliCountry Music And Nowww………..Poooop?!! Girl Please Ciao Ciao!!!!
Until tonight I’ve never seen Jay-Z and Beyonce show any kind of affection towards eachother. They actually kissed. S*** was more surprising then her performance. The set list leaked earlier so I knew it would be long and drawn out. That kiss had me thinking how hard it is to stay married. I just how that they aren’t feeding into what the media says because could end their marriage.
The awards are voted for by the fans so what did you expect? The mtv demographic is teenage girls.
And nice try mark666. Showing affection to your man onstage means your getting a divorce?
You need to wonder why Cherry Coke didn’t get an invite, yet Rita WHOra and Sam Smith did. They let two basic Brits in, why not your basic fave?
Because cheryl is very busy shooting her new music video in Spain. She has an album coming out, unlike your fave.
Nicki was the best performer at this. And even she was low key. Like not her typical animated self. I stayed up for Beyonce, where was her typical energy? Something was lacking. i can’t believe I stayed up to watch this. The celebs in the audience was all lost looking or disgusted. I don’t know.
Nicki and perform do not go in together. She is stiff when she dances and she lip syncs rap. U have low standards… Very low standards
she didn’t lip sync rap dummy. That’s not even how the recording goes. That was her live voice dumbass
If you say something was lacking, she still SLAYYYYYYED TTHAT MUTHAFAWKER!!!!!!

Beyonce killed it. She is a constant professional. There is no one in the industry like her today. She does not even need huge album sales or huge single sales. Rihanna outsold her (with mostly 1.29 singles) but Bey still has more money, power & respect in the industry.
–
I adore you, Lovelybird but yo girl could never do what Beyonce been doing for the past 10 years LIVE on that stage night after night, tour after tour.
–
Put it like this…
.
BEYONCE IS WHITNEY HOUSTON … WHILE RIHANNA IS MARIAH CAREY
.
One can do it LIVE the other well…
Exactly, I expected Beyonce to deliver what she has been delivering for the past 10 years, and not a Taylor Swiftrisque performance.
She did deliver. It was not a DOMINATE POWERFUL SASHA FIERCE performance but she still did mostly her entire album & did good. No one, in the industry RIGHT NOW can do what is she doing on a constant level like this. Her professionalism is almost parallel to Young Michael Jackson.
You’re being a stan, she was ok but not amazing. She performed but didn’t deliver. It is not about no one else delivering like she did (looking at J-Lo), it is about Beyonce delivering like Beyonce does and she didn’t.
Damn you’re ignorant. I see why you stan for Beyoncé on here, and then turn around and stan for Mariah on YouTube… You have a mental issue… no wait… mental issues! Whitney and Mariah are NOT AT ALL like Beyoncé and Riri. Mariah & Whitney are vocalists who proved their live points long ago and are Worldwide vocalists who inspired millions of singers; Ri & Bey are entertainers who are NOW and each do what they need to do for their own fanbase. The fact that you can compare the four, let alone think that you’re preaching just SCREAMS YOU ARE RETARDED!
No, your the one who’s retarded. I AM NOT COMPARING MARIAH CAREY/WHITNEY HOUSTON too THEM! ONLY Mark111 or Lovebird would understand that comparison I used. The comment was not written for YOU! Also, don’t be stalking me on Youtube
B**** please. I DO NOT stalk your mental ass on YouTube. I was on the Breakfast Club channel and saw your F-A-G-G-O-TTTTY ass trying to take up for Mariah. As I said, STFU with your RETARDED ASS! You have NO LIFE!
Like I Said, Stop Stalking Me!
SAM SMITH WAS OKAY BUT HE SOUNDED OFF KEY HERE AND THERE
ALL WAS NEEDED WAS A GOOD PERFORMANCE BY A REAL ROCK BAND EG FOO FIGHTERS
You gor 5 seconds of relevance instead, and MAROON 5s pitchy mess.
‘
I’ve now decided the only place I’ll be listening to MAROON 5 music is on my phone.
My everything now out on iTunes lets all support good music 🙂
The album is great, liking what I’m hearing so far.
I’m stanning a bit after love me harder. Yas ari
ALL YOU MUTHAFCKAS ARE HATERS!!
BEYONCE KILLED IT, IT WAS SOOOO DIFFERENT & PROVED SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO DO ALL UP TEMPO SONGS TO MAKE A PERFORMANCE LEGENDARY..
EVEN TAYLOR SWIFT & LORD WAS CRYING..EVEN CIARA WAS STANNIN AND CONGRADLUATED HER VIA TWITTER..
BEYONCE IS THE.BEST AT WHAT SHE DOES & HER PERFORMANCE WAS SOO MOODY & SOMETHING MAJORITY OF YOUR FAVORITES COULDN’T DO!!
Beyonce & Nicki had the BEST performances..
SUCK IT UP & DEAL WITH IT..
P.S YALL MAD THAT BEY SLAYED THE VMA ..WELL HER OTR TOUR IS ALMOST OVER & THE GRAMMYS IS ON THE WAY..SHE HAS BEEN AWAY FROM THE AWARD STAGES FIR TO LONG
& THE QUEEN IS BACK..B.I.T.C.H.E.S!!!!!!!
Beyonce’s performance was grown and s***!
Only reason y’all said it was boring cuz there was not
a lot of dancing on most songs! She stil slayeddd!
When will u get it thru ur head Beyonce will never fail
when it comes to performance?? Yeah I said it….
No, it wasn’t a great show, sorry. I know what it wasm the songs. She should’ve did a greatest hits performance and did her hits cause the audience did NOT know most of the songs her did. This isn’t even in her top 10 nor 20 imo.
I agree, she should have done a medley of her old hits and added a few of the new songs people actually know like Drunk in love and XO.
‘
It was very underwhelming and seeing that it involves routines she is not used to doing, she didn’t have the same energy or memorized type moves she does on songs she’s been performing for years like Crazy in love.
‘
Just my opinion but she could have done better, a lot better.
Yep, I’m not saying it was bad, it was still good, but not great nor epic. So these stans can put their “yassssss” cards aways until next time.
No No No biitch! My Stan cards and your favs Stan cards says “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! SLAY BIITCH! YOURE THE BEST! #BOW IT DOWN BIITCH
Just watched Beyonce. Everyone needs to just stop what they’re doing. Pack their bags, wigs, weaves, and songs and just go home. It’s over. Done. That performance was a game changer, life-giver, career ender. BYE
Lol girl please…
U must be one mad seeeeething biitch lmfaoooooooo
And you’re obviously one deaf, dumb, and blind Basicyonce stan.
This hoee is beyond pressed lmaoooooo. It seems like to me you’re the deaf, dumb, blind, idiotic, delusional, shiit praiser. For stanning for that fav of yours.
AS PREDICTED AND EXPECTED, BEYONCE SHUT THE SH*T ALL THE WAY DOWN!! WHO ELSE PERFORMED TONIGHT????? I SERIOUSLY DON’T REMEMBER?? OH WELL, DOESN’T MATTER CLEARLY! THEY WERE JUST FILLERS UNTIL BEYONCE WAS READY TO CLOSE DOWN THE SHOW! POOR RITA WAS LOOKING LIKE “THAT’LL NEVER BE ME.”
YES! YES! YES! YES! The biitch showed her ass!I was definitely impressed with the VOCALS!
Gaga needs to be next for the vanguard award.
Too soon. Missy should be next.
Just for the slayage that Gagas medley would be. I don’t see any other pop girl that can compete with Gagas performing.
And Rihanna after that. Eminem will more than likely get it next year. Kanye West. This is for people with 10 years careers and so far artists that owns the year they are rewarded (JT 2013 and Bey 2014) Gags career is on it’s last leg, but her videos are great, but she just need to put in more time and work imo.
It is not on its last leg. It was a polarizing album made up of edm music. That’s not necessarily mainstream appeal. She has talent. She’ll be absolutely fine.
Ok y’all saying it was boring….like who did better? Please let me kno
But I will say as a huge Stan I was a little disappointed when she first hit the stage, only because it’s the VMAs I expected theatrics, a bombing intro, killer dance moves, yet she toned it down and performed most of the album…but after going back watching the performance after knowing what to expect, it really came out great, on my 5th view #help
Loved JessieJ ‘Bang Bang’ kept it classy & did what she does best SING!!! Only Female Performer that wasn’t surround by half naked dancers to distract US!! S*** but not offensive!
Think BEYONCE really gone off track -NOT SURE WHAT SHE’S SELLING ANYMORE -I get it with Nicki Minaj she’s exactly what she selling(if that’s what UR looking to buy)but Beyonce supposedly into Empowerment & Family -lost her way -not just tonight-been awhile now I’m afraid!!
Speaking of radars, your ass is way damn off! THE QUEEN SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYED! point, blank, period! #BOW DOWN BIITCH
her 15minutes to show the world what BEYONCE is made off was reduced to a “we are happily married, look at our child, look at how happy we are pretending to be right now…look look look!!!!!!!!!!!!!see told you its love not moola”
Negro’s Please! BEYONCE KILLED THAT SHITT!
Bey did ok. You can tell she was lip singing and talking to the audience when the prerecorded track stops playing. Overall, she is one of the best performers of our generation. That album is still forgettable and barely decent. I only heard snippets and that was enough for me. I guess it’s time for Sam to write up a few paragraphs on Beyoncé’s vocals…. The Divorcing Chanteuse style
Gurl u are one delusional biitch kii kii. THE QUEEN VOCALS WERE LIVE & FAWKIN FLAWLESS!!!!!!! She tore that stage the hell up!!!!!!!! #BOW DOWN BIITCH
Why was Sam pitchy? He was the disappointment of the bio night because he’s one of the VERY VERY VERY FEW to have talent. Iggy can’t breathe with that fake Tiny accent. If she used her voice, then no problems would occur. Taylor needs to be slapped. She is a horrible live/studio act. It was cute 10 years ago, but now… N-O! Since she is selling millions though, I can’t shade… That much. 😉
Anyone catch JLO’s shady faces towards B, Nicki, and etc.? That ish was TOO funny. She literally looked like “This b****.” & “She really think she performing.” & “She calls that s*** dancing?” & “Benny, when do I go home to my twins?” & “Benny tell me when the camera pans on me so I can ‘smile.'” #ShadyBitch
Beyonce is held to such a high standard, just remember that. This performance slayed any other pop female out, but was mild just because it’s beyonce. I’d much rather have that problem than be a katy perry, who has absolutely no rhythm.
Katy has more rhythm than Cherry has USA relevancy. Katy is NOT talented, but NEITHER IS CHERYL FLOP ASS #DEAL
Death at you trying to hide behind cheryl. And death at my girl being able to perform and entertain a crowd.
Celebrities once again BOWING DOWN TO THE GREATEST PERFORMER SINCE MJ!
#Terrance J Beyonce >>>>>>
#Busta Rythmes Bet U r truly the best performer of our generation.
#K Michelle One of the most beautiful moments in music ever. Just awesome Beyonce.
#Will I Am Beyonce is the best artist on earth.
#Ciara Congrats Beyonce – Love and Respect Always
#MTV BOW DOWN
#Us Weekly The Queen still owns the throne.
#Billboard Shows over. Nothing can come after Beyonce.
#Pink Beyonce just made me cry. She also made my daughter dance.
#J HUD We love u Beyonce! Congrats. Well deserved! U inspire us all!
LOL so its supposed to mean something because a bunch of D listers and a couple of gossip rags were impressed by 15 minutes of lipsyncing?
Raggedy biitch, when did Pink become an d lister????? She’s bigger than that sluut u Stan for kii kii. You just continue to seeeeeeth over the Worthy Praise kii kii
you worshiping a little too much.. !!
THE QUEEN has now become the most awarded artist only behind Madonna, in VMAS history! #LEGENDARY
Too bad the VMA’s have fallen lower than the BET Awards in relevancy.
Too bad your breath smells like goat shiit kii kii. #BYE HATING HOEE
Katy Perry… OMG BLUE IVY JUST PERSONALLY WAVED AT ME! MY LIFE IS OVER!
#THE PRINCESS POWER
Were you at the awards?
Biitch who are u???
pathetic.. !!
nobody waved at your ass
I was unmoved by it all.
The stiffness of Ariana & Iggy is just shocking. Jessie J saaaang, Ariana found her inner Mariah…. again, Taylor was bland and Beyonce didn’t surprise or inspire
The VMAs only confirmed just how low the bar for excellence has sunk in the music industry.
Poor Sam Smith!
He had to sit next to talentless Katy Perry and Milye Cyrus. I mean, it can´t get worse than that. He was the best performance cause he sang so beautifully and without flaws such a simple song but so deep. That´s music. Most of the other things I heard were noise.
I agree with the people saying the bar is on an all time low. At least there were a few people who can sing… but the music is terrible so it doesn´t count.
I suppose Beyonce did good. It´s the one I still have not seen. I´ll do it now.
Also, is it neccesary to show all the female asses as if they were s**** ready to please men? It´s getting worse and worse.
Ι read this post completely гegarding the comparison оf lɑtest andd earlier technologies, іt’s
amazing article.
