Yassss @ Bey being the most awarded in the history of the VMA’s now.
I thought Mister Aubrey Graham was about to propose to Robyn!
She don’t get the awards for editing and cinematography… Seriously?
This is why the BLACK COMMUNITY IS A JOKE.
.
On Facebook, Twitter and other white forums all I see is people dragging Beyonce for her “typical” performances and for “winning” all the awards that she “didn’t deserve” and dragging Rihanna for having “no voice” yer they’re OVER PRAISING Britney to the core and everybody else, but on TGJ were too busy dragging both of the only black acts there! What a shame. So diappointed. The black american community deserves to suffer because all you do is bring eachother down… all the damn time.
Absolutely nobody is talking about Botney outside of gAyTRL. Stop lying. Just admit that’s the “white forum” you’re talking about.
The fact remains Beyonce won and haters are mad and they can stay mad cause Beyonce will always be winning.
You sound crazy as hell no one deserves to suffer and if they didn’t like it that’s their option and right that we as a people are fighting for still today so so how about you go somewhere and suffer and let people have Their opinion too many people died for is not to be opinionated. You made it about color they are speaking about talent and what they see it’s not all black white yellow brown. Get some business of your own and just concentrate on your people since that’s how you roll. I bid you Good day and good night.
Of course the Queen outshone everyone else and collected most of those awards. It’s all about the Queen.
7 AWARDS!!!! BYE MADINOSAUR!!!!! BOW DOWN HOEEESSSS!!!!!
Has she outsold Madonna yet?
Has Madonna outsold Michael Jackson? Like artists are going to be great regardless of sales. Beyonce is still as relevant as she was when she came out. Find something else to hate o
Hunny you stan XXLTina, someone who’s too busy cramming supersized hotdogs down their throat and small weiners in their vagína to release any music.
So Beyoncé is now the Queen of the VMA’s, wow, that took long enough. Madonna hasn’t even won (or been nominated?) since like 1999’s Beautiful Stranger… I think ?
Bow down peasant.
Stop! It took Dinosaur 13 years to get 20 VMA’s 1986-1999
.
It took Beyoncé 13 year’s to get 23 VMA’s 2003-2016
.
?☕?☕?☕?
.
BOW DOWN HOEEE!!!!
It also told Beyonce 13 years to sell 30 million albums with 6 albums while Madonna has done it with one ?
Calm down, The Grammys aren’t respected anymore thanks to your Queen (they give her 50 Grammys, about to be more) so do you think people really care about MTV awards?
So now were discrediting these accolades. Okay go back to 1980 whem Dinosaur actually reigned as a Queen with her 93629261 gimmicks! Stay pressed hoeee!!!
Lmao clock them paul. Theyre so pressed over madonna and breaking her records. Half of these awards are for behind thr scenes work anyways but
Isn’t behind the scene work what makes a video?
Congrats to all the winners.
I must say, Rihanna truly is a sweetheart! Beautiful! Loved her speech…and it’s official, Rih has Drake whipped lol…and Naomi was here to let ya’ll know that black don’t do a damn day of cracking lol
Thats why I love Rihanna, 28 receiving the Michael Jackson vanguard award, so down to earth and humble,damn drake sarenated the Queen,this was the Rihanna concert,ft the VMAs, whatever she do I love it,A legend,breaking record of Legends,I’m so happy for you Queen Rihanna, just simply being yourself,same friends and all,girlbi really love you for truly being a rock star and a down to earth round the way girl,all at the same damn time,Respect????
Rihanna receives the vanguard award before she even hits 30 .Beyonce could never
And Keri peaked–well, never reached the top of anything; Beyonce would never!
WHAT HAPPENED TO BEST POP VIDEO?
right i see this everywhere blank
WHAT ELSE IS NEW???? ANOTHER SLAY FOR THE QUEEN I GUESS.
Congrats to bey.it’s impressive she won those awards when her videos are not on any video platform like vevos while the ohtwrs were.
All the awards Beyonce won tonite had nothing to do with her actual music but more to do with the video/film of her album. Last 2 albums sucked musically but she did a great job covering it up with visuals.
Duh it’s call “Video Music Awards” dummy
Called*
What have you won? You sound like a hater. You don’t have to like her music or like her, Beyonce will still be winning and that’s what matters not your non-factor opinion. How many followers and fans do you have? That’s what I thought.
Rihanna is the only artist to open AND close the VMAs!
Congratulation Beyonce!
I’m so proud of Bey! It’s my 7684947848580878 reason to be!
Welp, watching the Beyoncé Music Awards was fun. Off to bed.
The VMAs really was the RihMAs. Hahahahahahahaha, how does one own the whole damn show, literally!
Crazy how she had multiple performances throughout the show, but it only took one performance to be out shined.
Don’t know who you are talking about. The recycling lady? Sorry, Rihanna performed so many times that all I remembered.
I didn’t get to comment on the ‘performances’ post but Britney Spears and her team needs to hold SEVERAL toilet bowl seats for hyping that ish up!
At least Rihanna actually gave vocals(Although couldve been better). Britney could’ve at least re-recorded her vocals to make it seem like she was singing but no.
HASHTAG: #HoldOne
Congratulations to Beyonce on her clean sweep!! Pretty impressive feat!! Congratulations to Rihanna, also, for the MJ Vanguard award! ?
The performances were decent all around, just not as special as I thought they would be..
Decent showing by most tho.
At least they were able to boom at stage and actually preform on it. Isn’t this your fave 4th consecutive “post pone” tour ?
*book
Bish why don’t you find the hottest part of hell and burn in it.
Janet’s legacy of hits, accolades, and performances are legendary.
Worry about why at 50 she still will perform most of these ho’s under the table, and the others give them a run for their money.
Why you mad tho, slore? My comment was nice and truthful.
Gargle broken glass and gets to ?. ?
EYE AM CRYING NOT VOGUE CALLING THE VMA’S BEYMA’S LMFAOOOOOO

Yes!!! The Queen did own then ight!!!
The BEYMA’S are officially over. Congrats Beyoncè!! Performance of the night and walking home with 7 moonmen including VOTY. Congrats to rih too. Her and drakeisha are cute.
Remember when Bey was in the No No No video back in 1997? Did you think that girl would be at the FOREFRONT of music in 2016? Just amazing artistic growth and effortless slayage! And of course, gorgeous! Now that was clear in 1997 lol
She’s definitely not the forefront of music on the hot 100 or the billboard 200 ?
^lmaaaoooo
As of now. They are NO Beyonce songs on the hot 100. And her album is in the top 20. When albums than are several months above it ?
Everyone is praising Beyonce she took over the show. I’m loving all the praise she’s getting nobody is being praised like her. A legend truly
“It almost felt like Beyoncé was receiving the Video Vanguard Award all over again as she moved across the entire stage of MSG” – Vogue
.
THE SHADE WAS THICK!!!!
I was just gonna post this sis she’s getting so much praise I can’t even. She stole the damn show like and she was trending all over twitter I’m bald
She had over 400k tweets just for the red carpet and her performance garnered 1.2m tweets in an hour ?!!!
Oop! Well I can understand their commentary. Beyonce brings some artistry an performance values when on stage. Not a common thing now.
Some performances are cure, and others well thought out and executed..
No shade, no tea. Just reality..
* cute
Dear Britney….STAWP ????
Xtina move over a little so the armographer can have a seat next to you..
P.s. they shady for putting you right after beyonce… kii

I’m not even sleepy no more. B****, I’m hollering.
“Beyonce Aside, A disastrous VMA’s reveals an MTV in crisis. Thank goodness for Beyonce. MTV’s creative side and viewers alike can join in praise for the singer, whose electric performance of several songs from her album Lemonade saved this year’s Video Music Awards broadcast.” -TIME

“There have been over 1.2 MILLION tweets about @Beyonce’s #VMAs performance in the last hour”
This b**** is Queen ??
Somebody on FB said vma was a Beyoncé concert and Rihanna was the opening act ????
????? I’m dead ???
JPGPKGFKPGFKGPFPFKKG!!! I’m THRU!!!!! Lmao!!!!!! Rih warmed the crowd real good for the headliner!
The Haters are SEETHING!!!!! Beyonce is ALWAYS stealing Rihorses shine!!! How do you have 4 performances ( even though bey did hers all in one two years ago) and not deliver??? Beyhive WINS AGAIN!!!
P..S Beyonce is the NOW THE MOST VMA AWARDED ARTIST OF ALL TIME!!
Beyonce’s only misstep tonight was that monstrosity she wore on the red carpet. Lol. She was pretty flawless beyond that. It just proves she is human too! ?
I love Bouncy, but that dress yo!
What is your fav wearing nowadays besides a burka?
S*** why you so worried about my fave and Bey? Clearly because they each make yours look basic.
Stick to the topic dipshit. Janet wasn’t their so bringing her up makes no sense and shows how pressed you are.
Now like I said go burn in hell, like your crotch is burning from your plethora of STDs. And I thank you.. ?
** there
I mean you should win the night and the most when you have two full damn video albums. And then 3 other albums with video for 90% of the songs on it. Congratulations…
Formation also won Best Pop Video so this b**** won 8 awards I’m bald
Rihanna concert ft VMAs, closed and open, beginning to end and the middle and walked off like the queen she is with her prince,hollering and screaming and dramatics, still couldn’t stop her shine, Good night

.
Notice how the Slavi and every Beyoncé hater is on SILENT TONIGHT!!! (Gulps Lemonade with a dash of SLAYED and SLAVI TEARS!!!)
Yep. Tied with Gaga for most VMA’s won in one night by a female artist.
Call me when your faves uterus is finally working and stops producing miscarriages tho
Your taste in music reflects your intelligence with fans of Beyonce among the most stupid and Beethoven listeners the cleverest, it is claimed.
The study was carried out by Virgil Griffiths, a PhD student in America, who compared students’ scores in SAT exams with their favourite music acts and genres by analysing data on social networking sites.
Stay dumb and uneducated like your fave boo
And we all know bestunts cey don’t deserve them awards,smh,but when you abuse your power, its meaningless to get what you want,can’t stand her,such a fake and behind the scenes bully
Bey really got y’all madt tonight looool
Bey cleaned up at the BET’s and now the VMA’s. Hopefully she can clean up at the Emmys as well! Can’t wait for the GRAMMYS!!!!
I swear beyonce is so darn wicked like very very wicked. How she just come & collect a second vanguard & threw rihanna out the window like that.
Am so sure rihanna must despise her so much now lol.
This show was jus about beyonce from beginning to the end from her red carpet, to performance, to acceptance of awards, to be the most awarded in history (thank God gaga’ career dead cos aint no one snatching it anytime soon).
I agree the s*** is messed up, im over the b****!
Congrats Rihanna,Beyonce and others

F*** the ship Miscarriageyonce’s ancestors came with
I felt sorry for Britney. Her team hyped up her performance, but all it showed was how irrelevant she has become compared to both Beyonce and Rihanna.
Beyonce was the Highlight.
–
Bryson tiller should have won his award, Honestly. Truly.
Beyonce having a 15MIN performance on Rihanna night, is the true shade of all ??? #VMAs
Nope…it’s Blue Ivy looking like ha ugly ass father.
Another day. Another SLAY!!!! Beyonce shut it down! One of her best live medleys! The crowd went crazy for Don’t Hurt Yourself! I like how she dedicated Pray You Catch Me to the victims of the police brutality. It was simplistic and meaningful, without being OTT. Well done Queen BEY!
They all are TIRed
LMFAOOOO Even Billboard put Bey’s performance as the BEST of the night!!! POOR FRIH!!!!
.
“The cinematography of Beyonce’s performance was unlike anything you see at an awards show, too. Instead of sharp realism, the camera’s focus was soft, gauzy and otherwordly, bringing to mind televised disco performances from the ’70s or even the original Battlestar Galactica. After “Sorry” and “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” she closed with — what else — “Formation.” While VMA medleys have run longer in the past, they never felt this fully realized. Simply put, Beyonce brought capital ‘A’ Art to the 2016 VMAs.”

I STILL can’t get over my girl performing 4 times! And yo she gave y’all MAJOR choreography then ended with a classy set and some vocals.
Your low standards are appalling.
LOL I knew it. I told you two days before the ceremony when they said Beyonce was performing that they had probably told her the awards were going to be hers. And that´s why she was going. She deserves it anyway seeing who all the others were. Congrats. She´s the only mainstream pop girl really doing things (Gaga would be the other one if she decides to stay in pop and not totally forget about it 🙂 ).
Let´s not discredit Madonna for her videos now. Why? You people are mad. Madonna has been an amazing visual artist. With true eras and phenomenal videos one after the other. Innovation on point. Attack her dancing or singing abilities if you want. But her songs, catalogue, albums or videos? Hell no! And well yes, sales are more important and telling than some irrelevant VMAs. I eman, even grammys are kind of a joke nowadays so imagine what these awards are 🙂
Congratulations to all the winner that won their awards at the vma award show
