Imma sound like an old person but it's because none of the artist out today have star power, they are not what Michael, Madonna and Prince were. Those artist were entertaining and you know when you saw them you were going to get a show. Not one of the artist today expect for maybe Bruno Marz has that kind of showman in them not one. These days the generation of artist are lazy and rely on tech and labels to make them good when they should be working hard to be great. MTV also relies on being cool to much and it's not working. Get some of the older artist there too. Let Madonna, Christina, BSB and other artist performer at the show. MTV has lost their way it use to be about the music and the art but now it's about crap. They really need to end the VMA's it's not what it use to be. MTV doesn't even play music videos anymore so whats the point?
