borrring vmas, we need the britneys and maddonas back in music plz kthnx
dont care much about the vma but m happy chris brown won
Lady Gaga in a scuba helmet with a diamond encrusted piano at the bottom of the Pacific. . . or Beyonce with a Diamond head-dress feather boa, and 100 Las Vegas show girls kicking up legs with a 100 piece orchestra is what I expected from MTV. . . but I got Wiz’s ashy ankles, and Alicia Keys asymmetrical garbage bag dress.
have to say that a ciara performance would have made it exceptional:)
They damn sure needed someone other than big mouth a$$ “pAnk”! imo
I just need that kiss video!
Yay Rih won the biggest award of the night. The main award for someone of her calibre. Peep Ritaoranation twitter – The rita Ora fan site hating on Rih and trying to diss her. LOL Where is Rita Ora on the USA CHARTS?
you seriously need to get a f****** life.
You stalk all my comment. YOU GET A LIFE, OR END YOURS, EITHER, WAY i still do what the f*** I want.
and this is why you DO NOT let fans do the voting and be the soul judges of who wins an award. the value of a vma has gone down since the days when chris rock hosted the show. not hating, but starships wasnt a good video, your beautiful was just jumping around on a beach. 1 direction and the wanted are basiclly the same group. rihanna winning voty, obivious, drake for hip hop, i’ll go with it, the only real shocker was chris winning bc bieber fans go ham ALL THE TIME. but the obious hard core stans voted and we ended with an award show full of teenybop generic pop songs winning rather great music videos.

Congrats To Rihanna , On Winning Video Of The Year. Can’t Hate On Her For That.
I agree. WFL video is a master piece.
If Only She Could Back Up All Those Award With Actual Mindblowing Vocal Talent.
Awww…..giving due credit *Kisses*
AWwww…giving due credit *Kisses*
Beyonce Gaga and Britney were missing. It was horrible
That’s the reason why I didn’t even bother watching this year!
Glad they ended early so that everyone could watch the Barack Obama speech at the Democratic National Convention! Irrelevant but true.
All you Rih fans on twitter, go to ritaoranation twitter and cuss that b**** out. Instead on being Rita Ora fan site, all she does is diss the hell out of Rihanna. Even now, she is dissing Rih winning an award. That is how u know, that Rita does not have fans, she has Rih haters. They hate to see this young black girl rule.
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
THIS IS SAM, EVERYBODY. DEDICATES HIS LIFE HATING ON RIHANNA.
But you do the same thing hating on Rita.
Rih is a proven superstar. Rita ora is a flop. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Nobody is forced to love Rihanna just because she’s more sucessful! There are people that do not care about charts at all. You should just forget about Rita if you don’t like her.
OMFG…THAT REIGN WONT LET UP …..OPENED THE SHOW AND CLOSED IT WITH THE BIGGEST AWARD OF THE NITE!!!!…U GOTTA LUV HER……I WAS PISSED CAUSE SHE WASNT WINNING BUT THE SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST…..QUEEN RI RI……#THE NAVY HAVE LANDED!!
Peep what sam said on twitter, when she thought Rih had lost.
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
Sam,
Give it up ! I know it is you. YOU! are Ritaoranation twitter/. The person loves rita, but spends more time hating Rihanna and re tweets from YOUR WEBSITE ONLY!
IT IS U!
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
I know a black man works at TGJ, but I think sam is Ritaoranation, who is really a dark dark dark skin black woman hating on bad yellow chick Rih
THIS IS WHO IT REALLY IS. PEEP THE RIH HATERED
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
Look at these twwets of pure Rih hatred and jealousy
Now this s*** is just f%cking Awful I can’t with VMA’s -_-
Rihanna’s We Found Love__________hahahahahaha haters gonna hate.
Rihanna did her thing… So happy We Found Love got the recognition it deserved. #RihannaNavy
Best Female Video- *WINNER: Nicki Minaj, “Starships”
*DEAD*
QUEEN >>>>>>>>>>
That was History in the making for a female rapper in that category against stiff competition,no one expected that like the grammes,i am so proud of her.
You see when God blesses, your enemies cannot touch you. They will die trying.
We all know Rihanna is far more important than the millions of starving and dying children in Africa. How gracious of him to bless her.
Samantha must be mad, Rihanna won the big one. Video of the Year B****, Video of the phucking Year. Samantha must be so pissed off I wish I was there to witness it.
Yes, while Samantha and the Flop-Hive keep hating, they now have to fill all the seats in 5 arena’s because Riri is winning.
THIS IS WHO SAM REALLY IS. PEEP THE TRADEMARK RIH HATE
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
Congratz Nicki Minaj so proud of you.
Even the most hardcore Nicki Minaj fans know that Starships was the most awful video of that category. How could that win?
U MAD RIHANNA DIDN’T WIN IT F***???
Why would they be mad? Rihanna won the most important award of the f*ckin show lol! Nicki’s was paid which is why people are questioning that bullish*t …F*** grow the f*ck up and take your d*mn meds
ENOUGH ONIKA you all better thank god nicki wasn’t nom in that category i hvae strong feeling nicki would have won that too [they better watch out for nicki now because she is competition they better recognize]Rihanna gave nicki a look when nicki won if looks could kill nicki would have died that last night,Katty perry was happy for nicki and you could clearly see that rihanna wasn’t,if Rihanna didn’t won vid of the year i have a strong feeling she wouldn’t talk to nicki,for a female rapper to win that infinite congratz to her that,s history just made right there.
Congrats to all the winners.
How CONVIENT!
Nicki Minaj and her young money crew won THREE AWARDS where they all took the stage. Three different Young Money performances took place as well.This is staged as f*** they knew the winners from before hand. One Direction can get there off-key asses off screen with this tomfoolery.
And, the biggest joke of the night Nicki beat out RIHANNA WFL, KATY PERRY PART OF ME, AND BEYONCE LOVE ON TOP (I actually liked that video!) with STARSHITS VIDEO!
What is this foolery, young money payed for this and its final! Fradulent industry MTV! F*** MT-FLOP AND FLOPPY SHORE AND FLOPWARD and all their flop shows!
STAY PRESSED F*****!! RIHANNA WAITED ALL NIGHT FOR ONE FLOP AWARD!!!!! AND HER PERFORMANCE WAS TRASH!!!
WE’RE HERE FOR STRONG WOMEN IN MUSIC
ALICIA KEYS FT NICKI BROUGHT OUT GABBY DOUGLAS!! GOLD MEDALIST!!!!
NOT YOUR GIMMICKS!! PERIOD
SO video of the year is now a flop award??? Isn’t it the “Video Music Awards” they’re at? Nicki won..excuse me paid for a sub category. Go jump.
What did Nicki do her whole time onstage, was she even live, did she ever move an inch. NOPE!
So people pay for Grammies too,if that was the case why didn’t nicki and Drake buy out the Grammies like how others bin getting accused of,get da f-ck out of her,they won fare and square like everyone else,everyone who won there wards won it fare,you running on here all @ss hurt Nicki made history for a female rapper to win in that category,live with it,that to me is like when gabby won the gold i am so proud,like i said get da f-ck out of her with your hating sh-t,starship broke the record for the longest standing single in the top 10 on hot 100 that add to the video winnings too.
Somewhere in Europe, Beyonce is rscreaming, ripping out her weave, strand by strand, screaming worse than Blue, ” naahhhhhhhhhhhhhh that rihanna reign just won’t let up”
You can tell, Beyonce is on the phone to Rita, screaming , ”all the money my husband and I gave u, and you failed to upstage her” You fool. Beyonce is coming across like the evil wicked with hating on the young beautiful princess
Congrats to Rihanna winning VOTY and for making history *claps*
For the rest of the show…IT SUCKED!!!
Congrats Rih!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE u b****!!!!!!!! 😀

On point with them comments once again.
Did they pay tribute to whitney?
Stop talking bad about Beyonce! She minds her own business!! She on vacation wth her family… I doubt that she have time to worry about RITO OR RIHANO! Let woman live her life! DAMN
Rita looked s*** as f***. That’s all that matters.
But I am f****** crying @ Kelly having a seizure over @RitaOraNation’s tweets. I follow them on Twitter and they haven’t even mentioned the girl you claim to stan for. So not only are you pressed and delusional, your paranoid too. How sad
yes they have. Read and see. She even gets into arguments with anyone who is a rih fan. Dont front.
Saying that Rihanna has 11 #1s over and over again?
She was there??
Congrats Rih!!!!! LOVE u b****!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I loved how the two most relevant chicks were seating next to each other (Katy and Riri). They were just looking like royalty.
LOL Rih and Katy were the only stars there.
You mean . . . The only GIGA-FLOPS there .
Beyonce hasnt done anything yet people still talk s***? THE VMAS ARE SO IRRELAVENT! Its more like a popularity contest.. people dont vote on the best video they vote for their favorite artist!!! GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
I WAS RIGHT. http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation IS talking about me on twitter. IT IS SAM.
The people on this site, are the ons on her twitter. HI HATER, RIH JUST KILLED THE VMA’S AND GIRL RITA ORA FLOPPED NO \1 CURR
Some of these awards were PAID for (Starships?? For real?) Anyway, congrats though to those who won legitimately. And was Rita even nominated for anything?? Just wondering. I didn’t even see her for best new artist considering the amount of hype and promo she received compared to everyone else in that category…Jay ran out of funds with Beyonce’s nom…
OH LOOK they are trying to get me banned for the same thing they do to Rihanna fans
Aside from Rihana, Taylor and Katy……no stars turned up. LOL
Taylor, Rihanna and Katie?????
What the f*** are you 12 years old or what?
ugh!! I love nicki to death but she shouldn’t of won for best female video starships was a dry video like really it belonged to Katy or Rihanna but whatever aslong as Beyonce didn’t win it I’m good. Congrats nicki baby xoxo
AND CONGRATS TO MY FAV FOR WINNING VIDEO OF THE YEAR #PROUDASSNAVY !!
That rihanna reign just won’t let up
RIP to the girl you briefly see, her days are over.
WHAT REIGN???????
The chick you stan for is a FLOP!!!!!!!
Just compare her OVERALL sales, awards, certifications, and you’ll see.
OH MY LORD, GOD IS BLESSIN RIH. She now has four songs on itunes. WFL AND WHYB ARE CLIMBING FAST. FOUR SONGS ON ITUNES.
THERE WAS NO RITA ORA ON THE CHART LOL LOL LMFAO
I told him “Daddieeeee!!!! Gotta buy a new song on iTunes”.
Then he threw me 99 cents.
SMH!
When people try and do evil rih’s career out of sheer hatred. God continues to have her back. She is blessed from the lord. You hate on Rih, but the lord loves and cares for her, that is why Evil cannot form against her, the evil people trying to destroy her are somewhere rotting. WFL, CAKE, COCKINESS, WHYB ARE ALL ON TE ITUNES AMERICAN CHART.
RITA ORA IS NOT TEHRE.
it was okay i did like frank ocean and one direction was okay pink did awesome especially the acrobatic s*** going from one stage to the other but it was short i wish they had more performances and more categories
Rita Ora RIP is 535 on itunes USA LOL LOL YOU MAD?
Beyonce still winning wow BEST EDITIng goes to beyonce for COUNTDOWN which means Queen has 12 VMAs now and RIH HAVE 3VMAs well done NAVY
NICKI VIDEO WAS IN CONSTANT ROTATION THIS SUMMER 🙂 U MAD F****** WILL HAVE TO EAT THE QUEENS P****>>>>
I’m really really happy for NICKI SLAYAJE. Her video was a >>>>>>>>>>
But wait “Pound the Alarm” bangs the LAVA out of their asses.
SORRY OBAMA SPEECH WAS MORE ENTERTAINING THAN CRACKANNA AWARD AND NICKI GARBAGE WEAKASS PERFORMANCE- VMA’S WAS A ALL AROUND GARBAGE!!! CRACKANNA LOOKED LIKE A W**** AS USUAL AND NICKI HAVE YOU FINISHED SWAGGER JACKED KIM, MISSY, FOXY YET?? WACK ASS AWARD!!!
LMAOOOOOOO @ RIHANNA WINING ONLY 1 AWARD AND LOOSING MOST OF HER NOMINATIONS.
DEAD @ HER GETTING FRISKED AND GROUPED BY ASAP ROCK ON LIVE TV, AND THEN RUNNING OVER TO CHRIS BROWN FOR ATTENTION. A DESPERATE TACKY MESS!
I CAN’T EVEN GET INTO HER STIFF, STRAINED S***** PERFORMANCE
I CAN’T @ THE NAVY BEING BOTHERED ABOUT BEYONCE, WHO’S BUSY YACHTING IN EUROPE AND ENJOYING HER LIFE WITH HER BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. FYI SHE WON A MOON-MAN FOR BEST EDITING(COUNTDOWN VIDEO), BRING HER TOTAL TO 12 VMA AWARDS(THIRD FOR THE MOST MOON-MAN AWARDS). STAY MAD!
Rita Ora was the one desperate for attention. From her tacky catsuit showing her boobs; to her white feather lady gaga copy cat dress; to her trying to hog Demi lovato shine so thirsty for attention and for what? RIP TO BE AT 535 ON ITUNES? lol lol
At least so called attention ( that is her ex BF ) works. Cockinesss, cake, WFL have joined WHYB on the itunes chart. She is the only singer to have 4 songs on itunes america. So her ‘ attention seeking ‘ sells records in america – something Rita Ora knows nothing about.
I am glad Oldyonce is with her family, that is all she has. She does not have a career anymore. By the time Oldyonce makes and LP she will be 35 and close to 250lbs.
And we will see how many moon men Rita Ora will win. She did not even get out up for best new artist, even though she came out this year.
LET THEM KNOW IT IS NOT A VOTING CATEGORY. IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY VOTED FROM A BOARD!!
The only award that actually made sense was the video of the year.
Oldyonce knew Rihanna would win video of the year for WFL, that was the best video of the year. Oldyonce knew Rih would stunt hard with fashion, hair and swag. Oldyonce knew Rih would have backup with Katy perry and them 2 bad b****** would be showing out.
That is why Oldyonce ran to Europe, she could not take being in the same room as goddess like Rih – who is now a woman, not that little t***. Oldyonce was feeling like the intimidated fat girl. Oldyonce could not find a dress small enough that could compete with Rih.
Oldyonce is fat and old and that does not work in showbiz.
Oldyonce and Zoe Saldana are the same age, but look at Zoe Saldana’s slim toned dancer’s body and look how fat Beyonce is. Don’t say it is cos she had a haby. Halle berry had a baby, let’s compare Beyonce to Halle berry’s body……no contest.
OLdyonce is gonna spending more time hiding in Europe at Rita Ora’s house, cos aint nobody checking for an wig wearing overweight over 30 former diva in America.
EXCEPT,
DIARRHEA will need 503 more years to be on KINGSLAYAGE–YONCE’s level.
PRESSED??? STAY PRESSED!!!!!!!
Some of Diarrhea stans :
POP ROYALTY – “R I H A N N A is taking these b****** by a storm. A shout out to M.I.A.”
What happened? M.I.A. won TWO, Diarrhea won ONE.
BENRON – “Beyonce isn’t gonna win any award nominated for”
What happened? She WON as much as his fav.
DAYUMM Diarrhea’s stans suck on a SOLDIER’S BALLS. Specially when it comes to AWARDS . . . . . . ! ! ! ! ! !
**plays the MTVVMA2012–WINNING “Countdown”**
In addition.
Rihannanavy – Riri will saly your fav, the night is hers
Rihanna performance flopped
Rihanna twitter – Hide your fav – 50% less ratings = less interest
Rihanna – Vote vote vote navy #MTV
Navy – Only give the b**** one award
The navy only sets the trap for themselves

F*** YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SLAY f****** YONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
biggiest load of b******* ever.
DIARRHEA is a FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!
FUMING??????? STAY FUMING.
Rihanna is the ONLY FEMALE, to have two video of the year. Umbrella and WFL.
HI HATERS * waves * How is the quest going to get a hit?
You need to take some ritalin and calm the hell down. I’m pretty sure you’re more excited about Rihanna winning that s***** popularity contest award than she is.
Yay Lady gaga is on twitter biggin up performance and her win. Beyonce cannot do that, cos she is sheer jealous.
Rihanna is the only artist with so little awards for so many albums. #flopbitch
King Bey 4 albums 11 VMAs RHOE 6 albums 3VMAs that’s shows BEYONCE HAVE THE BEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME KING BEY HAS GOT MORE CLASSY VIDEO THAN R****
really CHRIS BROWN OVER USHER & BEIBER? no MAM!
ABSO – FREAKING – LUTLY! 🙂
*God is good!!
Yes man
Rihanna won because the CULT Rihanna Navy nothing more so stop!! I was glad Chris won and Drake showed what a punk he was and had to have a crew with him for that last stupid remark..
Chris was going to beat DRAKE. But he saw drake being sooooo scared of him and let him off
? Best Pop Video, “One Direction”?
LOL Who voted for this, 13-year-old girls?
Their video is so basic, like anyone could come up with a video like that.
Rihanna’s “We Found Love” is light years ahead, and so is Fun.’s video
Also, that “Starships” mess wins over an artistic masterpiece like “We found Love”
At least “We Found Love” won Video of the Year. Well deserved.
Taylor didnt need to win to steal the show. She closed the show, and topped everyone.
You are just a plain delusional stan,go to you,er room.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
CHRIS “BREEZY” BROWN WON for “Turn Up The Music”! That video is AMAZING and his Directing skills just gets better and better!
Man, I’m going have to catch this show on the re-run!! 🙂
Chris brown 2VMA in 1 night
I DONT KNOW WHEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET IT!!!! THE VMAS ARE A POPULARITY CONTEST!! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW GOOD A VIDEO IS…IT SIMPLY HAS TO DO WITH FANS FAVORITE ARTIST.
