All the A-listers are aging out now and are not as focused on music and keeping up with trends anymore.

The young generation has yet to produce any A-listers.

I fully expect the red carpet to be half Youtubers and insta-famous pseudo celebs.

Well. If they are giving their highest award to a non-singer with zero innovation, just because people come out to see her scantly clad in Vegas.

Then, yeah. It’s dead.



ETA: I dunno about the Carters attending this show. By if they are it’s a side eye. They ditch all of the melanated events.

You didn’t grow up with LeVar Burton and it shows.

It seems kind of pointless to have a video music awards show for videos they don't play on their channel.

Exactly! None of these kids stand out or are exciting. It's a damn shame when you look at what the VMAs were in 1998 vs today. So many acts, popping with good fun videos. Interesting stars from Hip hop, R & B, Rock, Pop, etc. sh!t is dead now!

The biggest stars either are on tour and can’t make it (The Carters, Bruno, Drake) or don’t have any new music out right now (Rihanna, Adele and Kendrick). That sh!t was doomed from the start.

Award shows period are dead. Even the BET awards was lackluster this year. It’s a new crop of “A-listers” for gen z and younger millennials.

I mean, you can't expect the same set of ppl be there from 15 yrs ago still be a listers for this award show. They aren't apart of current pop culture and that's who they are inviting. It doesn't help that award shows lost all their meaning so big names nkw aren't going g as much. We will see a ton of social media stars there bc they are the ppl kids look up to, not actors and musicians. I don't like post Malone, but he is current and is trending right now. That's why he's there and performing and nominated .

Welp, you know we've hit rock bottom when IG "influencers" and Youtubers are the celebrity and the actors and musicians are few and far between.

Do we really need to see those Clermont Twins or Dulce Candy at these shows? Will those "likes" get them a star on the HWOF?

Exactly why I don't even bother tuning into award shows anymore.

I haven't watch the VMAs since Beyonce and Lady Gaga faced off for the first time. That was the last good year.

Yeah, it was RoboBey who attended the BET awards and performed Freedom with RoboKendrick Lamar, right?

These award shows are sh!t because the talent is sh!t. WTF is Halsey, Post Malone, Camilla Cabello and the rest of these pretenders? They don't have the sauce or personalities IMO.

Also the production value of their performances too, Britney, NSYNC, Janet, Diddy, BSB, Pink etc their performances felt like mini concerts and created MOMENTS.

OMG when Britney performed with Nsync it was like a high school setting! Man, 1998-2000 were great pop moments.

I have watch in years. I didn’t even know they still had this award show
are there even music video channels anymore? I thought everything was on YouTube now anyway. I haven't watch the VMAs since 2001 or 2004. Whatever year that was where Shakira won the best new international artist. This was before she became more widely known

MTV should have been cancelled the VMAs since they stopped playing videos a decade ago.

The MTV, BET Awards been sh!t for a while now. So I'm not surprised at all, and definitely won't be watching the MTV Awards. Another year, another boycott

i'm 100% over award shows.

They are way too long and boring and if entertaining people aren't gonna be there, what's the point?

ya'll can hate on kanye but at least he gave people something to talk about. All these other people are so incredibly vanilla and safe its sad these are considered todays stars.
