I can’t tell if Lady Gaga bought her awards, or if MTV kissed her flabby saggy a_ss to get her to perform. The first ever “tricon” award? 🙄🙄 The old lady was up there dancing like a tricycle that just had a hip replacement. A song about wanting your ex who you hate to c_um on you got 9 awards? Chiiiiile I cannot.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this took me out but you’re right. This award show is not about the talent, it is about popularity and these corny groups with their 2001 *NSYNC stunts clearly shows that.
I don’t believe she bought the awards, but if you notice the majority of the VMA’s this year went to artists who performed or were present there (deserve it or not). Sp they awarded the ones who were there (which in my opinion is ridiculous), I like Gaga and I follow her career since the beginning but this was NOT her year..
Dababy, Roddy Ricch, The Weeknd, Meghan or even Eminem deserved more than her,but nice for her.
This is favoritism at its finest. No shade Rain on Me wasn’t even all that should’ve released Babylon instead of Stupid Love too smh
Gaga won 5 the most. Congrats to The Weeknd on winning Video of The Year and Wow Dua won for visual effects along with her team for Physical. Hmm not sure what to say about Taylor winning Best Direction but Congrats. Meg won her second VMA and congrats to Doja on her first VMA. Now we need Billboard Music Awards to release the nominations.
Dua didnt win shìt
Best visual effects is a professional category. The award goes to the visual effects artist
Fans can’t vote in this category.
Dua lipa has never won a vma ever in her life
She is a product of aggressive radio payola
Her album sold 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4 even tho she had a top 2 song. That’s payola
& u a product of fail parenting…
Back in the day katy Perry and lady gaga were on the same level. They were each other’s competition
But fast forward today, lady gaga is winning 4 vma awards the same week katy Perry’s album Is predicted to flop
Damn. This life ain’t fair
I could have sworn katy was gonna have more longevity than gaga. Sad
Even kesha is nowhere to be found
Chile. Everyone thought Katy and Gaga were on the same level but I just feel like Gaga was always the talented one. I knew somehow she will prevail and stay on top. Katy never evolved musically and stayed releasing the same material. She changed her looks and the s*x appeal was gone. Next thing you know she’s flopping back to back. Kesha disappeared a long time ago. I saw she keeps releasing music but nobody just cares. Gaga snatched a number 1 song , album and VMA’s left and right. Before Ariana grande collab, Shallow went number 1 as well. Stupid Love was top 5 hit. She keeps proving people wrong every era.
Clearly this is a fan award show now and has nothing to do with creativity and real talent. Obviously the billions of Koreans and Asians are supporting BTS and the Lady Gaga stunt was so forced and predictable. Normani was robbed for best choreography. F_U_C_K MTV
BTS ON choreography better than f******* motivation cheetah girls choreography
Well Normani is one person and she didn’t have many fans but when she dropped Motivation she was trending on YouTube and Twitter. So that says a lot
Normani was trendy thanks to the A list celebrities who posted about the video cause they wanted to help a black girl breakthrough into the music industry.
After all the charity these A list celebrities did, for normani, motivation debuted at number 33 and fell down to number 66 the following week. Spent only 1 week in the top 40
Even a big vma performance couldn’t save the song.
Normani is all twitter hype.
Twitter doesnt buy music.
Bts on debuted in the top 10. And the choreography in this video is so much harder and more complex than normani’s motivation which is just twèrking
Chloe and halle deserve best quarantine performance
They have been serving us beautiful quarantine performances.
Taylor swift- best director. Gurl, u paid for this shìt
The travesty of all the foolishness was the Weeknd for rnb ANYTHING. What a clueless joke. He is no more rnb than BTS, LOL….
Where’s Normani?🤣😂🤣😂
It’s like MTV read my inner most thoughts…..lol. Everything I have loved, actually purchased, voted for and co-signed in 2020 was on full display SEEN, HEARD and WINNING awards…they kept the other stuff I don’t care for somewhere in the back hidden from my sight…..lol. Thank you MTV. Congratulations to Mother Monster Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift and “Papi Juancho” Maluma (wink)! 🙂 Lady Gaga even played “911” and gave shout outs to Britney and NSYNC era. The only thing I needed was Abel to play “In Your Eyes” as an encore! 🙂
Just goes to show you cannot buy class and taste and you should’ve been aborted

You reply way too quick, you know you hanging on and living from my every word 🤣🤣 That pipe really did you dirty! 🤣🤣🤣
B******, I’m here, duh 😂 Anyway, I’mma cut you off one of these days and never respond to you, so soak this up 😂 This ya moment 4 life lmao….and stop using my words, damn…you have laughing emojis too like it’s the first time anyone heard that ish lol…bish, I told you that, you boring 😂 Like damn, cause I’m not taking you seriously lol….so at least say something to make me drag you 😂

MTV said Hey we gave y’all a black female host that’s wayyy more than enough.
MY EXACT THOUGHTS.
Congrats to my girl Doja! 👑
You got to be blind not to see “Gaga’s ” Satanic horns on her mask. She is part of that hollywood satanic cult.
She’s repulsive. Sorry guys I mean no hate towards anyone who supports her music.
