After watching I just cant figure what the point is, the show is more like the american music awards or the billboard awards where the bigger hit the song is the better chance an artist has to win. The video component to the show means basically nothing, its politics why do they keep giving Britney awards she doesn't deserve for mediocre boring videos, why did they give her a cheap tribute but promoted it like it was a big deal, why do they kiss her ass (along with Foo Fighters and 30 Seconds To Mars).
Adele had one of the biggest hits of the year with Rolling In The Deep, the video is a snooze fest and honestly does nothing for the song or its message and certainly doesn't deserve a single nomination for a video music award , yet the video walked away with three awards.
Katy Perry walked away with Video Of The Year for Firework. Lady Gaga walked away for Video With The Best Message, the issue I have with that is Firework and Born This Way are one of the same and the message behind the Born This Way video is none, the song is about being who you are and being proud of it, so why is Lady Gaga walking around with fake gap teeth, facial prosthetic and weird alien imagery. The message of the video seems contrary to the message of the song.
Beyonce had one of the best videos this year, the song itself didn't do very well, the video got one nomination for choreography the song Run The World (Girls), a female pride anthem, was missing from the Best female video category and was easily better than the actual nominated videos.
Combine this with all the bad and irrelevant presenters terrible jokes and some rather predictable and boring performances, the show just seems like a waste of space specially while its airing on a channel that's called Music Television but its programming consists of less 5% of music and 95% reality TV
