Is it worth complaining that the proper place for the VMA’s is on VIMEO? How is it possible MTV have maintained that relationship over decades and decades? Not that really matters: it doesn’t help sales and it doesn’t help public image and it is forgotten in a day, so why not, right?
Highlights: Kanye West says he is running for President in 2020 during his never ending speech and Taylor won a ton of awards though nothing much compared to Michael Jackson’s heyday of course.Nothing as exciting from Miley as when I saw her tweaking. At least until the end when she announced you could get her free new album NOW.
Drama: Nicki Minaj, responding to… you know what look up why for yourself, after winning her VMA for “Best HIp Hop Video”, Nicki said: ”
“This bitch had a lot to say about me the other day in the press, Miley what’s good?”
Miley said: “We’re all in this industry, we all do interviews, and we all know how they manipulate them. Nicki, congratulations.”
