Why is Beyonce’s “Beautiful Liar” even nominated? I hardly even heard that song on the radio and the video was nothing to scream about
I know Rihanna is going to win big time for Umbrella.
Ciara better get that deserved award for best choreography for “like a boy”
and kanye West for video of the year for stronger? didnt that vid come out last month?…..
who the hell does the nominations for these dumb award shows?!
Oh yeah, I fogot to mention, why the hell doesnt christina have as much noms as Beyonce? Her album was way better than B’day….
Did ya’ll forget that the VMA’s are just that? VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS. This is not about who sold the most records. This is about who’s video stayed on top of the TRL charts the longest. This is not the grammy’s or the billboards. So, all this chatter about Ciara and other people…NO. Sorry. The people nominated for these categories have been all up and through MTV all year long, so they deserve MTV awards. If you’re tired of seeing them, tell your friends to stop voting for them on TRL. LOL
all of them look retarded imo in this pic, rihanna looks like her breasts are missing, timbaland looks like hes dodging somthing, chris brown looks like hes having some major gas issues. Kanye and Robin thick look alrite :/
@91….BET and MTV are two totally different networks…thats why beyonce can get awards at one show and at the other because they are different shows….*shakes head*
How the hell Lil Mama’s hard ass face lookin ass getta nonination n Ne-Yo didn’t???? shit he was shittin on ‘em this year whether he was singing or writing B’s mega hit Irreplaceable…. shit that song got me thru sum crazy ass timez boy its all good he won a BET award n das more important to receive praise from your black peers anyway
Lip Gloss is a cute song but it aint worth any nomination shit it dont matter cuz she wont win shit anyway
Does glasses r soo annoyin
chris looks not like his usuel cute self………..ooooh! i spot a tat n a louis vutton purse!!
Rhianna- nice cover up (4 da broken leg)
O NO they sure did rob CICI(even her haters are admitting so!)! well I think we all would agree that she should win that one(best choreography)-who ELSE can dance better than her?
LOL MTV should stop doing award shows now because it hasn’t been the same since ’04. I’m not even going to watch this year. The performace list is WACK AS HELL(Chris is ALRIGHT, but that’s it!). I’m sorry but the only people that can perform or atleast can keep people on their toes are Beyonce and Ciara(and Janet but I doubt she’ll even show up lol).
Christina A., Ciara, and T.I all better win their nominations(they only have ONE) because she derserve it alot. Especially x-tina, she has NO VMA’s!

OM PISSED 2 THE FULLEST RIGHT NOW, WHY ISN’T CICI WITH MORE NOMINATIONS? 2 ME SHE SHOUDL HAVE BEEN THE MOST NOMINATED OUT OF EVRYBODY. CUZ 2 ME IRREPLACABLE WASN’T THAT GREAT, RIHANNA CAN’T DO SHIT SO SHE SHOULDN’T BE IN NOBODYS CATERGORY AT ALL, AND IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER ON HOW MANY PPL R NOMINATED IN THE CATERGORYS ANYWAY.
5 for Kanye?I must been hiding under a rock.

What the HIZZELL are those things on Kanye’s face?

Beyonce is doing it BIG!!!!! She is very talented. The sista is in a league of her own forreal. I went to the BEYONCE EXPERIENCE. It is a experience indeed!!!!!! B just has the full package. Yea she maybe overated but she can’t help it. People say she need to sit her but down…………for what??? Who is doing it like her??? Beyonce brings in more viewers. Congrats to JT and the others. JT doing it big 2. He is also very talented. Him and B deserve to have 7 nominations. They work hard. B can headline her own tour and JT, and the both r just on their second album. Give credit where it is due. All them other artists r talented too.
Gym Class Heroes are nice….
i hope beyonce wins every award..espeacially agaisnt rihanna…that bitch…she is soooooooo fake omdaiz its unbelieveable…. she must think she can beat beyonce…well only in her dreams that is…..she can’t even sing…
once again beyonce is going to win something
she’s nominated for everything!
shit she might as well be in the best male category!
she’s worked her ass off this year to the point where people are sick of her but hey, she deserves it.
i also hope Christina Aguilera wins her one nomination which is bullshit. she is a vocal powerhouse and she deserves more than a crummy video director award!
WHITES SUPPORT THEIR OWN AND BLACKS HATE ON THEIR CIARA THE EVOLUTION HAD A MIXTURE OF EVERYTHING AND MORE WHITE BOUGHT IT THAN BLACKS . CIARA SAID REPRESENT HER AND I WILL DO JUST THAT. AMY. JUSTINE AND ROBIN ARE NO R&B ARTIST AND GETTING CREDIT WHAT A DAMN SHAME. CIARA WILL GET HERS AT THE BILLBOARD AND GRAMMYS.
Its all a fix, beyonce nominated for 7 c’mon give me a break irraplaceble nominated 4 video of the year are u kidding me tht video was dry. Even though im not much of a ciara fan i still say she should have gotten more than one nomination but to be honest i dnt understand wht da heck is going on.
