Still a Thing: The MTV Video Awards

Absolutely ZERO buzz on Twitter about this

Tonight!

I'm rooting for that one guy, you know.

I'm rooting for MTV to play music videos.

These people R there

Ha ha

Shawn is gonna come out and show his big gay wang!

Anyone watching this shit??

I have the pre-show on, but probably gonna turn it off.

If I happened to turn on MTV, what would I see?

You know how irrelevant these awards have become when the commercials for them are touting Jennifer Lopez performing live

In 2018.

This is from another thread. They had to pay people to show up and cheer, lol.

Madonna is there

Embarrassing. I am approaching Grandpa age and MTV and these awards were my generation. Who are these people there now? (Madonna aside and that seems ill-advised too).

R13 Steven Tyler is there. Madonna can rest assured she's not the oldest person there.

Miss Mendes is performing. It’s boring.

I'm voting for the bitchy one that rolls down stairs in her super classy videos. Or, she pays other people to roll down stairs.

Come to think of it, she pays people to do all sorts of things.

It’s on MTV, VH1 and Paramount networks all at once. I can’t decide if that speaks well for the show or a desperate act to get cumulative ratings.

"Let's give awards to an art form we haven't played in twenty years. Who's in?"

Are there any videos to nominate anymore?

Is Harriet Tubman's alter ego Nicki Minaj there?

Desperate.

Nicki Minaj won the first award—hip hop—beating Beyonce and Jay Z. She thanked “the fans.” She said “I know my fans are watching.” Thanks, Fans!

"Both of them!"

I had zero idea it was on. I used to live for this shit, but back in the 90s. MTV should really be abolished at this point.

Live on 20 different stations !

That's how you know the ratings have been bad.

The stage looks cool

Wow. Simulcasting on MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Spike, TV Land, CMT, Paramount and Logo.

That’s sad.

Wait I'm confused. I just turned it on and it seemed like people were rapping and parents were being united with their kids as a prop.

R27, that was Ryan Tedder and Logic performing with a bunch of “parents and kids” behind them.

Logic was wearing a shirt that said “Fuck the Wall”.

Funny, I used to live for it too in the days of a-ha and Pet Shop Boys getting awards. Now I don't even have cable, nor want it.

It's not all bad getting older.

AND MTV 2, BET, BET CENTRIC and MTV HITS

What is the man wearing a tux made of gold embroidered upholstery fabric supposed to be? This is bad.

Is Panic at the Disco still “fluid”?

Cardi B is such trash.

How the fuck has Missy Elliott not gotten the Video Vanguard Award yet?

Is the Video Vanguard Award a thing people want?

It used to be.

So much crappy rap music, and who’s the ugly tattooed face guy? Enjoined Shawn Mendez getting wet.

Cardi B is basically a whore who decided one day to go into show business and so she became a rapper.

Does anybody like music for music anymore or do people only appreciate the Instagram Model of All Things?

[quote]who’s the ugly tattooed face guy?

Post-Malone

R38 That describes how at least half of all entertainers carved out their career paths.

[quote]Is Panic at the Disco still “fluid”?

Yes.

Rap music has replaced pop and rock music as the dominant music of today's youth.

Glad I didn't grow up now.

So far, don’t like any of the winners…no-talent Minaj, bitch Grande, and the ugly tattoo guy.

Horrendous show, who are these people?

We are all adorable curmudgeonly old people.

I only know who Shawn Mendes is because creepy old dudes here stalk him.

5..4..3..2..1..until someone comes in and tells us were old for not liking today's crap that passes for music.

So far, I’ve heard nothing but industrialized hip hop music. Minaj really sucks the big one.

This Minaj performance really needs to end. It’s real shit.

An hour of that mess inspires me to revisit the 90s music thread and feel grateful that I came of age during the good ol’ days just before y2k and 9/11, before music became crap and Hollywood became Marvel and before Trump and Nazis. Sure, we had homophobia and AIDS 20 years ago, but we also had a lot of variety among our entertainment!

They're going to do an Aretha tribute as well. I can't imagine how they'll screw that up.

R51 Tribute by Christina Aguilera!

Madonna is using “#aretha” on Instagram so I assume she’ll be telling us soon how she and Aretha Franklin we’re dear, close friends

Janet Jackson seems to be conspicuously absent, considering she just dropped a new single last week.

This girl is dancing in tennis shoes. Whaaaa?

Maybe Madonna will do what Lady Gaga did with Julie Andrews and surprise us all by singing EXACTLY like Aretha Franklin and blow our minds.

Madonna and Aretha had became close friends.

Urie looks like Tammie Brown here. Without makeup.

J-Low is so fake.

Jenny is dancing in heels. Teach the children, Jenny.

Jenny from the Block can still shake her ass.

I was there to watch on the sidewalk. They shooed us old people away. Very rude. There was a guy on the roof overhang who sang something. I went home. Very stoooopid.

Why do they always add some crappy rapper to ruin a performance?

Hip-hop sucks! Just give me some good ol Country and Western music, and I’m all good.

Do you think that Jennifer listens to her shit music? Or does she listen to Mariah and Whitney like every other woman her age?

Oh Shawn

Oh Shawn

Gay voice does not lie, honey. God bless.

Shawn Mendes is so femme.

I ❤️ Shawn !

Lopez is a good actress... this speech like she gives 2 shits about an MTV award.

Janet's pounding on the back door trying to get in!

I wonder what Mark Anthony is doing right now.

Her speech is so fake.

I want to thank Tommy for all my crazy diva demands!

Does her mom still do santaria? That is the only way I can think she's still got a music career of so.e sort.

She’s not getting an Emmy or an Oscar so she’s smart to blow her wad here

Has Madge been on camera yet or is she shining her grills?

Madge is getting her face injected prior to her appearance.

“How to be a man with Shawn Mendes.”

I have never heard it talk. It is a gay.

Is she singing in English

J Lo, yoy can do many things. You're just not good at any of them.

I think Shawn is a wonderful man.

Who the fuck is Camilo?

God Is A Woman written by Ariana and 4 men

[quote]Who the fuck is Camilo?

She was one of Shawn Mendes’ beards.

Pretty much seems not much.

Are these kids not mentioning Trump in their acceptance speeches because they don’t know who he is?

R82 has to be a dua lipa fan the bish was ignored lol

Yes, r86.

I know I didn’t skip a generation, but I don’t know half of these women winners.

And, more crappy rap music to listen to.

Who’s the red headed twink performing?

Sam Smith, call the police! This young man is stealing your schtick

Cardi B is barely literate.

rap music is an oxymoron.

Half of the audience looks bored, looking at their mobile phones.

Was that a song?

It looks like half of the audience left.

Where’s Madge?

I'd suck off that Ricky Martin wannabe.

The Latin dude was hot.

This show is just wretched.

Madonna looks terrible.

Madonna is looking more and more like Bette Davis.

“Aretha Louise Franklin changed my life.”

I hate this woman she’s such an asshole.

Madonna: I’m gonna make this Aretha tribute all about myself. I just can’t stop talking about myself.

Do you think the pancho is to cover her gross veiny arms?

Somebody pull the plug on Hagdonna already. Jesus fucking Christ!

Only Madonna would take a tribute and make it about herself. When she dies, I hope Lady Gaga comes out and talks about herself being the most original artist ever. It's deserved.

Madonna is giving her own autobiography.

Madonna is trying so desperately to be cool in front of these kids.

“My farts smell like lavender.”

Shut the fuck up already you narcissistic bitch.

I couldn't care less about Madonna and I never really followed her antics, but at least I now finally understand why everyone around here hates her - that speech was like an exercise in narcissism.

“Quelle horreur”

IDK I liked her Michael Jackson tribute (was it at the VMAs?) but that was horrid.

Madonna is so not liking being in the frame with someone who makes her look ancient.

She looks like a Mexican grim reaper

Me me me me.

Why is this airing on a MONDAY? It makes it all the more pathetic.

Camilla is prettier than her fug daughter Lourdes.

Who’s the twink with the Charlie Brown shirt?

When people still watched it, it used to always be after Labor Day

Whats happening to Madge is making me sad. Its sad when people dont know how to grow in their art nor give up gracefully.

Avenatti was there.

What's really sad is the people on this thread bitching about and insulting things and people.

If you don't like the MTV Video Awards show then don't watch it, then you won't have anything to complain about.

sigh

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Please explain this Aerosmith performance. I suspect they turned off Post Malone's guitar mic for that.

Worse show ever, and totally sucky music.

Omg, why does a handsome man like Tortellini want to dress stupid and pretentious?

“Let’s end the show with a 40 year old song, why not? Who cares?”

Madonna is an embarrassment.

Was that a pink towel during the Shawn Mendez performance?

"Worse show ever, and totally sucky music."

So why are you watching it...???

Ok havana deserved it, it will not die, still top 40 on itunes over a year later crazy...and the most streamed song by a female ever.

R128 Please burn them both with fire

How does this thread have so many responses? Who here was watching the show, and how old are you?

Did Madonna actually get up and start talking about crackhouses while wearing grillz for a black woman’s tribute??? lol

Os she still wearing those? How pathetic.

Ignoring all this shit. I don't think I've watched since Britney's snake.

"How does this thread have so many responses?"

Because this is The DL and these old queens enjoy using ANY opportunity they can to bitch and complain. It's the only thing that makes them feel relevant to society.

"Who here was watching the show, and how old are you?

I'm guessing the average age of the posters in this thread is old enough to be Shawn Mendes' father.

Not a Madonna hater but my god those grillz are awful. She can barely speak.

It's really just a fame-whore convention: Blac Chyna, Amber Rose, Millie Bobby Brown, Snooki and JWOWW, Nico Tortorella, Winnie Harlow, Nicky Hilton, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Farrah Abraham, Shanina Shaik......

R131 Because he is a QUEER ICON! A queer icon I tell ya!

Havana is the most annoying, nonsense song I’ve ever heard. It took ten people to write it and that’s just sad.

R146 you havn’t heard much music then...

In case you missed it...

That two minutes was originally to celebrate Madonna’s 60th anniversary

When Aretha died last minute, they shifted that segment to her tribute instead

Like Dick Nixon feeling entitled to cheat in ‘72 because he felt JFK cheated him in ‘60, Madonna responded by making the Aretha tribute about her 60th anyway

Lowest! Ratings! EVAH!!!

The 2018 MTV Video Music Awards went down on Monday night, and all the important stuff that happened and all the great outfits didn't translate into great ratings for the awards show. In fact, this year's edition had the lowest ratings in its history, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Madonna is the cuntiest cunt who ever cunted.

[quote]Lowest! Ratings! EVAH!!!

Is this really a surprise? No talent, constant crappy rap music…need I say more?
