jeezy better get an award…. trap star……
when is MTV and BET going to stop ass washing for ms.beyonce haha
yeah but hands down she is the legand of our time:)
YESSS!!!!! MOST OF THEM ARE MY FAVES ESPECIALLY KANYE & TIMBALAND SO I’M VERY PROUD OF THEM ALL.
I’m feeling Rihanna’s new look w/ the cane and all that’s real slick. Been a minute since the cane been on the scene. Congrats to the nominee’s the best of luck to them all.
i like those glasses kanye
irreplaceable was released two years ago.
mtv sucks major ass.
beautiful liar was not even top dollar.
shows how much music they actually played this year. boy i bet all the other musicians are jsut livid right now.
as if beyonce has the edge in music. come the fuck on.
same with jsutin timberfake
why does fatass timbaland have to clown in every pic he has, he needs to bring fitness back.
this year seems like that usual ‘bland’ year when nothing was amazing or worth noting.
remember when mtv awards were THE SHIT??????????
aww look at Chris Brown–what a cutie.
Rihanna- I don’t know, The cane reminds me too much of Aaliyah, she liked to dance with a cane. I know other people do too, so don’t jump on me. I’m just saying.
As for the VMAs, I can’t wait. I’m going to party every day and night. Looking for my freakum dress, gonna take a few just for backups.
AND DID CHRIS BROWN FINALLY GET THAT FUCKING TOOTH FIXED?
SPEND MONTHS LEARNING DANCE MOVES AND STILL HAVE YOUR TWO FRONT TEETH VYING FOR ATTENTION SO THAT THEY OVERLAP ONE ANOTHER.
SMH
What up Conecreteloop.com…You think we ready to finally give JT a award?? His ass might deserve this year…
#11 LMAO
I like kanye shades it show he has his own style but to tell you the truth I don’t like the music that is coming out these days I stay listening to oldies because it remind me of what real music is. Everytime I turn on the damn radio it a song about a fucking dance step which I give a fuck about, all these non singing hoe’s, fake ass jamicans (sean whatever his fucking name is) Nas is right hip hop is died R.I.P
OHH LA LA QUEL DOMAGE!!!!!!! MONSIEUR CHRIS BROWN COME SEX ME NOW S’IL VOUS PLAIT!
DAYUUM DIE CB IS ZO MOOI. IK WIL HEM HEBBEN VOOR MIJN MAN! LOL EEN MEISJE KAN DROMEN!
I don’t understand why Kanye has been nominated, his singles have not even been out 4 more than 3 months. How the hell is “stronger” video of the year?
UMBRELLA GON WIN ALOT OF SHIT JUST WATCH. GO RI RI SO WHAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE BEST VOCALS OR THE DANCES MOVES. BUT GYAL U WORK SO WELL WITH WHAT U GOT I COMMEND U FOR THAT!
I LOVE ME SOME RI RI ME NAH CARE WA DA HATERZ SAY! AH BON
Kanye had to bring those shades (it’s only right). Good luck to all of them. Beyoncé is the new million dollar woman (hard work is paying off).
hold up. number 14 on here talking french, and what not. English por favor
18 that is not french you uneducated thug
18 that *second line* is not french you uneducated thug
@ 18 lol. WELL I WAS SPEAKING FRENCH, DUTCH AND ENGLISH AT THE SAME TIME. I KNOW ENOUGH FRENCH. BUT I AM FLUENT IN ENGLISH AND DUTCH.
TOTS ZIENS, AU REVOIR, TATA, BYE!
Rosetta Stone is working it’s way through the hood i c.
LMAO I have that Wallet that Chris Has and that shirt Kanye is wearing but mine is blue…
Congrats to Beyonce and The white boy
#10 Rihanna sprained her ankle or some ish…thats why she has the cain…who the fu%k makes fashion statements with cains????
kanye loves those glasses.
im so tired of these no talent hoes reapin all da glory i give props when props are do but i mean come on! wtf, even though beyonce is very talented she need to go sit her ass down some where and rihanna just need to give up da game cuz her voice irritates the fuck out of me robin thicke luv your album u need more praise, kanye west u may just be a cocky egotistical bastard but damn u flyy! chris u gone have 2 come betta then wall to wall!
WTF is Quadruple Threat of the Year?
I’m expecrting Kanye, JT & Beyonce to walk out with a few gongs. I would like to see Robin Thicke take something too.
I hope Eve’s video takes the choreography award. That video is fun and the girls dance nicely.
The list has the same names, just repeated all over the place.
i think they made up some names for awards just so they can give it to beyonce..if you think your sick of her now………………….
@ 27
Bouga — Quadrouple threat is “an award given to boundary-busters who excel in multiple fields (such as music, fashion, philanthropy, business, acting and dance”
Anyways..
Chris Brown is looking better, and better to me each time I see him. Even though that last pic don’t do him no justice.
Note to Beyonce: Hire Rihanna’s stylist! I can’t hate, she is always looks good these days.
I’m really pullin’ for Justin this year. FS/LS was my shit, so he deserves any awards coming his way.
Beyonce..7? Why? Good job to her all the same…
Also, why does it look like I’m reading the same nominees over and over? MTV couldn’t think of anybody else, LOL.
I wish Ciara had more nominations
Chris Brown’s shirt is so gay. Rihanna’s looks cute. Kayne is my boy…Timb, can I get a beat?
Where’s Lupe? The whole credibility of the show goes down by not nominating Lupe for either Best Male or Best New Artist… wack
After reading this, am i the only one scared for the future of music, shit i mean i’m not saying some folks on the list are not talented but damn, compared even to the 90′s most of the singles out are garbage. I’m only 24 and not feeling my own generations music, thats ashame. Kanye and a few others trying to keep rap alive, R&B is almost dead, i mean JT and Robin Thicke trying but c’mon , Beyonce wit all her talent still singing bullshit songs and ppl who suppose to be on the list like Lupe and Fantasia, ain’t even on here. As for rock and other music, they trying but i been watching and i have not seen anything spectacular out so its watever.
At this moment i turn on the radio and i am now listening to Hurricane Chris Ay Bay Bay, tell me wat the fuck is going on…. I can’t even front though, its ignant but catchy.
Hummmmmmm……..Now where have I seen this before O O yeah everydamn where
Beyonce Go Home…….BDay was tragic…….
I love chris brown and rhiana
Timbo is Fiyah too
Yawn. I will not even watch~~~
MY GOD! STOP WITH THE MADNESS. I feel like im reading the same names over and over. Anyway, Why doesn’t Ciara have more nominations??? she definitely desrves it. Rihanna is my girl. Hope she take them all home. So beautiful. And WTF..irreplaceable 4 video of the year..They should’ve replaced her with one of cici’s vids. Um irreplaceable was boring. Anyway, hope Amy, christina, Riri, Robin and Cici take home a few.
Ugh The Awards Are Soooooo Gonna Suck. They Keep Repeating The Same Artist In Almost Each Category.
I’m very excited about the vma awards and who is going to perform.
rihanna looks cute but damn she took her weave out already!!
I’m surprised they didn’t nominate Beyonce for Best Group, Best Male Artist and Best Newcomer too. Talk about celebrating the mediocre, B’Day is a horrible album compared to Dangerously In Love. May as well cancel the ceremony and send all the awards to Matthew Knowles. *Rolls eyes*
someone please tell me why kanye has on that leather coat in the middle of summer? It is a little coat at that!!
@datdude don’t dwell on it or you’ll go crazy. yes the industry is crap now (mainstream-wise). but there’s nothing we can do about it. i’m sick of all that is out now too but i just don’t listen to the radio and if i do, it;s for laughs. if other ppl want to subject themselves to horrible music, then that’s their perogative
nobody look at Mtv
Mos def will be watching to see who wins these awards
Congrats to Beyonce
Rihanna looks cute
kanye always looks fly
Chris Brezzey looks cute I love the kicks too!!
If I see one more damn awards show with Beyonce nominated 1,000 in ever catergory imaginable, I’m going to blow my head off. True enough the girl got talent but come on this broad made a video for every song on that whack ass album of hers and 1/2 of the videos got no play….and besides does MTV show videos anymore??? Shouldn’t it be the MTV2 awards??? Maybe its me but oh well
oops my bad thats suppose to be 1,000 times *typing to fast outta frustration*
#23, oh that’s right. I completely forgot. Dude, it was way late at night when I posted that comment. So I take that back. Although, many people make fashion statements with canes- pimps, frats, etc.
Same ole same ole in EVERY catergory…lol
You know the rock and rollers are pissed off right now…they are probably saying “damn they already have the BET awards,now they come over here and take over”
Seriously the Bey and JT are straight OVERKILL!
Riddle me this…..
Beyonce falls down a flight of stairs (head first) while performing and gets back up with nothing but a minor scracth on her leg.
Rihanna walks right into a chair and messes her leg up while doing absoulutely nothing which results in her having to wear a brace and walk around with a cane.
Beyonce aka Bionic Bee>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna
Congrats on your noms Bee!
Beyonce and Justing wasn’t eligible LAST time so they are making up for lost time.
THe VIDEO music awards are NOT about the VIDEOS-Irreplaceable THE VIDEO shouldn’t be NOMINATED for VIDEO of the Year.
ANYWAY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR OLD CATEGORIES> KANYE IS ELIGIBLE HIS VIDEO WAS OUT IN TIME.
BEST R&B, ROCK POP ETC> THEY”VE COMPLETELY CHANGED THEIR CATEGORIES
ANYWAY AT LEAST I CAN VOTE ON WHO I WANT TO WIN.
Ummmmmmmmmm Rihanna’s cane is not apart of her new look.
If you remember just last week she injured her foot in dance rehearse.
So instead of using her crutches she used a cane.
That’s why she’s posing like that so you can’t see her right foot.
Best Rock song, Best Pop Song, Best Rap song. Best Rock group
MTV IS bogus for CHanging thier categories. These new ones are STUPID> I agree If I was a Rocker I would be like F MTV VHI FTW.
Note to Chris Brown: You don’t have to dance everytime we see you!
Note to Kanye: You don’t have to pretend to be fly everytime we see you!
Note to Timbaland: I just don’t like you!
That’s all…..
Congratulations to everybody! I was upset that they changed the award categories too? @49, I was thinking the same thing!
I am with some of you guys, where are all the other categories: Best R&B, Best Rap, Best Dance, Best Rock etc…??? This show is looking really boring just like last years show. The nominations suck, Ciara only has one nomination???? Promise and Like a Boy were 2 of the best videos of this year. I am happy for Beyonce for all except “Beautiful Liar” cause I think that video was boring, just pure eye candy, but I hope she wins most of her awards. Rihanna, I don’t know, she might win one, but she is not winning over Beyonce I can be extra sure about that. But just from the nomination special, I am not too crazy about watching the show this year.
Wow, Ciara put out about 3 songs this year, I know she could have gotten more noms than best choreography. But then again I guess thats what she gets when she’s known for dancing and not singing, LOL. Promise should be nominated for vid of the year at least
These are actually decent nominations. However I would have liked to see Beyonce and Jay-Z up there for best collabo on “Upgrade U”
Why does Kanye look da fool in dem glasses?
U can say what u want about RiRi but that girl can’t take a bad picture.
Look at how goofey Chris Brown is around her. 2funny. “I like her” written all over his face. Love his shirt, sweet.
Love Robin. I hope his performance is as great as his CD.
Timbo, please go away. Sit down. Count your money and chase white women.
kind.
It will be interesting to see Bee and Jay go up against eachother- wouldn’t it be ill if they showed up at the podium together? No their style though –
On a technical note, whoever edited Beyonce and Shakira “Beautiful Liar” really did an outstanding job! I do hope they get recognized, the editing on that joint was insane!
Last thing – is Rihanna ROCKING that cane, like – what?
*NOT* their style
