Members Adam Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 Article I mean her videos are quite glamourous and obviously technically sound.... but this is just a little too much lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 This show hasn't been relevant in years. I don't know why a network that barely shows music videos anymore has an award show devoted to them. Sad thing is, once upon a time, in the 80s to the mid-90s, this show used to be an event for young people, not so much anymore. Good exposure for Florence and the Machine though.

Members Eric83 Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 Why is that horrid Video Phone video nominated for anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted August 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 LOL, yeah I felt it was lame. Hype Williams still has clout I guess. VEVO/YouTube is the platform really where awards celebrating music videos should be hosted.... that's where I watch my videos now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Really? My Facebook feed blows up like an atomic bomb when the VMAs air, and most of my friends are between the ages of 18 and 25. There really is no need for a music video TV channel anymore, especially one targeted at teens and twentysomethings. YouTube's taken over the market completely, but MTV.com is still filled to the gills with music and music-related content. Most people young people wouldn't sit in front of the computer to watch an entire awards show, so airing them on MTV is perfect. If MTV and Vevo joined together, there'd be assloads of cash to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 It seems like over the past 10 or so years, the only time people talk about it is if some crap like Taylor/Kanye happens or Britney's craptastic performance from 2006. There was a time music videos had more pop cultural impact or the actual performances at the award show itself, which really isn't the case anymore. I guess the music industry itself is partly to blame for that too. Even before the advent of YoutTube and streaming videos online, MTV/VH1 gave up years ago.

Members Soaplovers Posted August 15, 2010 Members Share Posted August 15, 2010 When is the cutoff date for video eligiblity? I find it hard to believe that Eminem's just happens to be nominated when his crap came out not more then two or three months ago when I'm sure other male artist's had better video's. It would be nice if they didn't keep nominating so many rap/r & b videos. Lady Gaga's videos are very interesting and are always talked about. They aren't very good but at least they illicit some sort of reaction. It's a step in the right direction.. I just wish they could go back to the way video's were made in the 80's and 90's.. where there was a storyline to the video (i.e. a mini movie musical).
