Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears Score Most VMAs Nods

If MTV is trying to lure Britney Spears back onto the Video Music Awards stage — the site of so many of her triumphs, and one of her most visible crashes — they’re not being very coy about it. Ms. Spears received seven nominations for the 2009 VMAs this morning, second only to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, who will face off for the most Moonmen with nine nods apiece. Eminem, Coldplay and Kanye West are all up for four trophies, and Green Day — who have been confirmed as performers on the September 13th’s live broadcast — nabbed two.

(Look back at Britney’s most famous VMAs moments.)

In an attempt to rewrite history, MTV is also revisiting a few classic videos in a contest called Best Video (That Should Have Won a Moonman). U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name” will go up against Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” David Lee Roth’s “California Girls” and Radiohead’s “Karma Police,” among others, in that category.

(Relive last year’s VMAs — featuring Britney’s triumphant return — in photos.)

Beyoncé’s nominations are all for her carefully choreographed (and oft-imitated) blockbuster video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” while Lady Gaga’s are split between “Poker Face” and the lengthy “Paparazzi.” Spears’ nods come from her first video from Circus, “Womanizer,” and the clip for the title track. Kings of Leon, Drake and Asher Roth are all receiving their first-ever nods this year.

“I’ve been blessed this year to have ‘Single Ladies’ become a video people really connected with and responded to,” Beyoncé said in a statement. “I’ve spent so much time watching all the great versions people created all around the world. It’s beautiful to feel you touch people and bring a song to life with a video.” A montage of clips of amateurs (and some pros like Justin Timberlake) attempting the “Single Ladies” routine plays during Beyoncé’s I Am … Tour.

Anyone can vote for the general VMAs categories starting today at the VMAs’ official Website. Voting for Best New Artist — where Lady Gaga faces off against Drake, Kid Cudi, Asher Roth and 3OH!3 — will continue during the live show on the 13th. As Rolling Stone reported earlier today, Gaga will go against Drake, Kid Cudi, 3OH!3 and Asher Roth for Best New Artist.

Either MTV has given up on actual talent, or true artists stopped caring about these awards a long time ago.

You spelled “Kristinia” Debarge wrong.

How did Circus receive five nod’s and not get voty?? Womanizer is amazing but voty over Circus? hmmmm mtv

Music is in a bad place now :(

Olga | 8/4/2009, 1:23 pm EST

Womanizer is the best video.

P. Manlin | 8/4/2009, 1:28 pm EST

Beyonce – Ring on It – one of the stupidest videos — thunderthigh ditch the Michael Jackson wanna be metal glove girl!

Troy | 8/4/2009, 1:28 pm EST

I am so sick of Beyonce that I don’t know what to do…I wished she’d just take her Halo and go. I love Lady Ga Ga, and I’m so glad that Britney has come back on the scene free of all of her antics and heartache. I love Kristina Debarge, she’s great and comes from a well-known and talented family…I hope nothing but the best for her and her family.

Evan | 8/4/2009, 1:30 pm EST

Yes, I’m a fan of Beyonce, but I have to say that she is over-exposed and needs to lay low for a while. Give herself and her fans a rest.

It's over | 8/4/2009, 1:31 pm EST

Popular music is dead. Thanks MTV and Clear Channel!

kanye East | 8/4/2009, 1:45 pm EST

music is in a tragic state right now. who even listens to the radio anymore? and MTV is as relevant as dial-up for being a taste-maker. lady gag-ga is pure trash, another product of the commercialized music biz. /snore

BeyonceFan | 8/4/2009, 1:49 pm EST

I love Bey, and I wish her nothing but success, yet I think that her trying to be in everything and do everything is becoming too much. As much as I hate to agree with some of the posters on here, she does deserve to have her some time to get her family going and give some of these other female performers a chance to shine.

DC | 8/4/2009, 1:49 pm EST

Except for Rock and Breakthrough videos, it’s practically the same 5 videos over and over. MTV, MUSIC television, is sad and pathetic, and gets worse every year.

frog leg | 8/4/2009, 1:51 pm EST

MTV has been corrupt by pop, cRAP and reality tv. i remember back in the day when they actually played videos all day. then they give MTV2 which was supposed to be 24 hours of music videos remember?! now MTV2 has become as bad as MTV. KILL MTV!!!!!!!!!! all the bands and so called artist listed above suck!!!!!!!

elSCORCHO | 8/4/2009, 1:52 pm EST

Who cares about MTV anymore. They have been irrelevant since the dawn of the digital age. People no longer watch MTV for the latest music trends, they go some where else.

LadyGoo-Goo | 8/4/2009, 1:58 pm EST

It’s time for Beyonkie to go sit down she fadin’ she need to go have some babies.

Wasteful Thinking | 8/4/2009, 2:02 pm EST

MTV sucks…well music these days suck…it’s all about bling and clubbin’ and glitz and glam…music has no substance anymore….Glad to see Brit back in the swing of things. Beyonce, well what can I say, this may be her night, God knows I can’t get enough of seeing and hearing her, yeah right…somebody pop a muzzle on her and tie her up so she won’t sing or do another freakin’ movie.

dvnovert | 8/4/2009, 2:17 pm EST

MTV IS irrelevant and stupid. GagGag’s videos are horrid, (almost as bad as Britney’s nowadays) except for Paparazzi which is “okay” only thanks to the brilliance of Jonas Akerlund.
That said, Beyonce deserves everything she’s nominated for…Single Ladies was an inspiring and fun phenomenon!
i probably won’t watch this year, but I hope she gets hers.

nicdraw | 8/4/2009, 2:21 pm EST

Damn Beyonce is nominated in damn near every category. But Single Ladies was the most successful and influencial video of the year. I love that chick.

Since When | 8/4/2009, 2:23 pm EST

Since when has anybody placed any revelance into MTV? For years all they’ve played on the actual channel is reality shows and rap. There’s no variety and the rock they put on there is half retarded. Rock music has been around longer and influenced more people than rap, rappers and there “bling bling” and criminal records ever will. So fuck of MTV and the VMA’s.

john ford | 8/4/2009, 2:28 pm EST

mtv killed real music, go away mtv, david lee roth california girls, wtf?

Anonymous | 8/4/2009, 2:34 pm EST

Screw MTV. IT has done its best to destroy music. What’s that channel about these days? A bunch of brain-dead reality shows and a few crappy videos at 3:00 AM.

Wow.

Mark | 8/4/2009, 2:40 pm EST

My God, you jealous bitches, leave Beyonce alone. I fail to see how her presence on the music scene prevents other singers from succeeding. If they were good enough and had the it factor, they would be up there alongside Beyonce.

That said, Bey should win at least 4 of those awards. Gaga should win a good amount. Britney Spears can go suck an egg.

Caira | 8/4/2009, 2:57 pm EST

Haters stop hating on Beyonce and get a life.

Can’t stand Beyonce’s over exposed ass. My vote goes to Brit Brit.

drumsloth | 8/4/2009, 3:11 pm EST

WHY?

Back In Town | 8/4/2009, 3:22 pm EST

Wow, amazing to read the sexist comments regarding Beyonce. Who says she has to go fade into obscurity and pop out kids like a rabbit? I never hear anyone say that about a male star. And BeyonceFan, what’s all the crap about “giving other female performers a chance to shine”? If Lady Caca and Crapney Spears can’t handle some competition with talent, then that is not Beyonce’s fault.

faity | 8/4/2009, 3:35 pm EST

when rihanna was reigning in 2007/2008 no body complained she was nominated for everything and won some that she didnt deserve no one spoke some of you haters said beyonce was done for but she came back bigger and better, the entertainment industry is all about relevance and if some of you haters favourite artist cant be relevant then blame them not B she only doing what she was born to do and to the new stars take a lesson from her WORK HARDER!!!!! you haters may not like B but many of us do

Jamier | 8/4/2009, 3:36 pm EST

From the looks of it, contemporary music has been whittled down to about 6 performers…welcome to the machine

no metallica or ac/dc nomination for best rock song. mtv blows

chris ciccone | 8/4/2009, 3:53 pm EST

uhhhh where’s madonna?

Kent | 8/4/2009, 3:55 pm EST

Eminem should not have been nominated as much as hew was. Relapse was a steaming pile of shit.

Ricky | 8/4/2009, 4:09 pm EST

How can MTV have the video music awards when they dont even show music videos anymore… not even on MTV2 (the station they designed to ONLY play music videos).

nickkane79 | 8/4/2009, 4:34 pm EST

jesus… imagine the state music will be in in 5-10 more years… the youth is force fed this crap and has never known anything else, so of course they’ll eat it up eventually. if i hear poker face one more time i’m going to shove a pencil in my ears.

A.Night | 8/4/2009, 5:08 pm EST

Britney will take home the two main video slots once again this year :)
Best pop video and video of the year.
Womanizer was a triumph success for her and I doubt that people wont want to reward her for all her hard work. She’s back and it’s most certainly visible to everyone’s eye

fuck off | 8/4/2009, 5:14 pm EST

ummm if you guys hate mtv so much why care?

i hope britney wins everything shes nominated for.

fuck off | 8/4/2009, 5:16 pm EST

if you guys hate mtv so much why do you care whos nominated? you wont be watching cause you “hate it”
i hope britney wins in every category shes nominated in.

Snaves | 8/4/2009, 5:20 pm EST

And in MTV sucks news…

I do like the vids that should have won, category, Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Ok Go and U2 all should have won, some classic/grfeat videos…

Videos actually worthy of being called video of the year:
Pheonix- 1901
The Dead Weather- Treat Me Like Your Mother
Gnarls Barkely- Who’s Gonna Save My Soul

Actually surprised Gnarls did get a nod, I love that video.

Anonymous | 8/4/2009, 5:34 pm EST

Mtv has changed music by playing only whats easily digested by todays youth, who collectivly have the intelligence of a frog. Im 17 and I look at this time as the middle ages of music. thats what is gonna happen in 2012, we will look at music in tearms of lyrics, bass, drums, guitars and a message not auto toner and idiots who cant write there own songs. MTV, give me a fucking break!

Anonymous | 8/4/2009, 6:00 pm EST

single ladies will win everything.

beyonce is a beast.

haters stand back, because beyonce popps on your favorite artist.

beyonce is the only artist to perform live and dance at the same time. unlike lip syncing britney

.... | 8/4/2009, 6:17 pm EST

ok i bet that the only reason that brittany spears is nominated is cuz she is practially naked in every one of her vids…. and sadly she might win some… i would rly like to see fall out boy, cobra starship, and green day walk away with a few also :) and i bet if the used had released their music vid a little earlier the would be nominated for the blood on my hands music video

mr.G | 8/4/2009, 6:42 pm EST

MTV IS CRAP!!!!!!
Why do they even have an awards show? They play what 2 videos a day? Its the same 4 or 5 artists that get nominated every year!! BORING!!!!!

Flush | 8/4/2009, 7:17 pm EST

Besides the best video who should of won, Green Day, and Paramore, that whole entire list sucks balls.

Screw the VMA’s. MTV is full of crap now.

Ruined cathedral | 8/4/2009, 7:22 pm EST

The Silversun Pickups should’ve been nominated, I mean I’m amazed at how they always make cool videos on a tight budget, whereas Britney is given tons of money to make great videos, and instead it’s always the same “I’m half-naked and hot” crap

jasmine | 8/4/2009, 7:24 pm EST

the ppl who say STOP hatin on beyonce are such fucking hypocrits!!!!!! they say stop hatin but that is exactly what they are doing on lady gaga and britney i love beyonce britney and lady gaga grow the fuck up assholes =P i hope britney lady gaga and beyonce take atleast 2 awardsa each if they can!!!!

Ricky | 8/4/2009, 7:25 pm EST

Best Video (That should have won a moonman)?

What a stupid gimmick. With the exception of OK Go and Dr. Dre, has an MTV regular even heard those songs?

Sorry, I just don’t think anyone who regularly dishes on The Hills or Tila Tequila knows who the fuck Bjork is. There might be one person out there to prove me wrong, but what are you doing watching MTV in the first place?

jasmine | 8/4/2009, 7:44 pm EST

the ppl saying stop hatin on beyonce are big hypocrits!they say that then hate on gaga and britney ??? i love the three and would like them 2 take atleast 2 awards each id have 2 say that britney’s womanizer should win video of the year and pop video because it’s better than the others but beyonce isnt pop is she? gaga 2 take new artist and beyonce best editing and choreography

JP | 8/4/2009, 7:46 pm EST

Its funny how many beyonce fans there is here and how you guys saying to stop hating on her when you guys are the ones hating on britney and lady gaga cause youre so insecure over beyonces chances of winning (gaga sings and actually dances WELL! live)

spencer | 8/4/2009, 8:57 pm EST

Maybe if MTV played some music videos outside of the 3 to 6 AM time slot, they might have a little more music credibility.

LISTEN ROLLINGSTONE MAGAZINE! | 8/4/2009, 9:29 pm EST

Tell MTV to start playing music videos. we dont give a shit about 16 and pregnant, parental control and the other dumb ass boring shows! PLEASEEEEEEEEE

jeffonce | 8/4/2009, 9:48 pm EST

beyonce should win every single award that she has been nodded in. Britneys spears videos suck theres slutty and you say beyonce over exposed atleast she hasnt been naked in her damn videos, lady gaga oh god, whats the point of her videos every videos she makes i dont get it, theres no story to it. Beyonce should win. She can sing and dance AT THE SAME TIME! what can lady gaga and britney do? pose naked in a magazine and video! wow if thats what you call inspiring then thats full fo shxt!

Anonomys | 8/4/2009, 9:50 pm EST

go beyonce!!!!!!! single ladies is gonna pown! halo should have been nominated too…but anyways, woot! lady gaga is also good, but beyonce’s better.

Do you know where you are?? | 8/4/2009, 10:00 pm EST

Guns N’ Roses: Welcome to the Jungle!!!!!! should be in the category of “should have won”

November Rain winner of best video 92′…only thriller is better

again | 8/4/2009, 10:05 pm EST

Singles Ladies should win Video of year
and Womanizer should win Best Pop video

mtv doesn’t play videos anymore?

news to me.

Brad | 8/4/2009, 11:05 pm EST

Ah, MTV…you festering, rotting carcass of a network. Proceed to the wasteland of irrelevancy, do not pass go, and take VH1 and MTV2 with you. Or, better yet, change your name and cease all ties with your former self. Mediocre Tedious Vomit and Very Hideous One need to go away and choke on a dead orangutan’s dick.

theonewithfacts | 8/4/2009, 11:53 pm EST

Char performance wise and response from fans… if that’s how they judge who should won..then Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) will win in every category because it took 2008 and 2009 by storm. It has so many people trying to do it, 100 at one time in London. So I am guessing best choreography and video of the year are Beyonce’s. I am becoming a fan, but I am a Metallica, Fall out boy, Mindless Self Indulgence fan..so idc who wins. Just stating my opinion

nkdlunch | 8/5/2009, 12:00 am EST

MTV’s breakthrough categories are always hilarious. It’s them attempting to stay current on actual music. Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Cold War Kids would have been interesting bands to include in this category…years ago when they broke out.

I hope lady gaga wins everything…and then wears the trophies as an outfit

Classy | 8/5/2009, 12:22 am EST

It’s funny how they all kind of look alike in those photos (3 curvy blondes in skimpy costumes).

Anyway, I hope Britney wins. “Womanizer” was the best video by far. Gaga and Beyonce’s vids are great drag queen trends, but they don’t hold up to the slick quality of “Womanizer”. I hope MTV Britney a “Best Comeback in the History of Music” kind of award. She totally deserves it for all of her success. Her tours are kicking Beyonce’s and Gaga’s all over the park, but no one wants to highlight that. Let’s not pretend that the VMAs are remotely interesting without the prospect of Brit showing up or performing. I like all 3 ladies, and listen to all of their fab pop music, but Britney is Queen. Her videos and album are better, and concert ticket sales don’t lie!

beth | 8/5/2009, 12:46 am EST

i love u beyonce hope britney loses eveything and that gaga shit.

z | 8/5/2009, 1:52 am EST

Britney will win for sure !!! why ?? she is simply the best not because she is the prettiest, sexiest and smartest among them,,its cuz she is brit brit. goooo britney

Britney | 8/5/2009, 1:56 am EST

ok to say the truth .. britney deserves to win video of the year.. she had the most influential song of the year “womanizer” + she didnt use the marketing strategies that others use (like beyonce using JT to sing her song)!!

britney | 8/5/2009, 1:59 am EST

ppl u have to know that britney is the 1 n only 1 deserving to win video of the yr for ‘womanizer’ .. why ?? she is the smartest, sexiest, and hottest among them .. plus the fact that she didnt use stupid marketing strategies like the ones beyonce uses (letting JT sing her song ) !!

anonymous | 8/5/2009, 2:18 am EST

i just need to have sex with all 3 of them. One at a time is fine but I’ll take all 3 at the same time or any variation of 2. It would just make me so happier.

eoghan | 8/5/2009, 8:42 am EST

thank god they at least have a category for “videos that should have won”. I think for everyone that grew up in the 90’s with videos like “sabotage”, we all experienced a nostalgic flashback to when music videos actually meant something.

Oh and MTV need to play more music videos.

frog leg | 8/5/2009, 9:25 am EST

i could be wrong but i think the record labels for all these shitty artist listed above are paying MTV loads of money to have their videos played on MTV. why else are these lame artist getting so much exposure? it sure as hell isnt cuz their talented. bands like mastodon have 10 times more talent than any other band listed above!! why arent they getting more exposure??!! they released one of the best albums of the year…wait let me rephrase…one of the best albums of the decade!!! KILL MTV!!!!!

J.C. | 8/5/2009, 9:46 am EST

Kelly Clarkson’s My life would suck without you! or Single Ladies by Beyonce or maybe Britney Spears I love the three of them!

Philbo | 8/5/2009, 10:14 am EST

I remember when the VMA’s where relevant – nominations for Nirvana, Beasties and Jamiraqui in big categories – now they’re just pop awards- it’s sad.

Britney Lover | 8/5/2009, 12:22 pm EST

WOMANIZER for VIDEO OF THE YEAR PLEASE!

Maureen | 8/5/2009, 1:29 pm EST

Why is “We Made You” nominated for Video of the Year? It only came out like a month ago! Whatever.

Shelby | 8/5/2009, 1:35 pm EST

How can you have a “Video Music Awards” when the network doesn’t even play music videos? This will show my age, but I remember when MTV first came out and they actually played music videos from Whitney Houston, Beatie Boys, etc. MTV is a joke. It should be called RTV for “Reality Television.”

And did anyone notice that basically the same 5-6 people are nominated in every category? What does that tell you? :/

anonymous | 8/5/2009, 2:27 pm EST

It’s pretty sad. We need another Nirvana or something, anything to spark a new musical revolution that the big wigs won’t be able to ignore.

English Andy | 8/5/2009, 3:12 pm EST

Coming from across the pond its exactly the same over here, there are music channels dedicated to just videoa, but its just this samey crap music. Unfortunately because it gets forced down everyones throats it becomes popular?!
also, yeah yeah yeahs have released 3 albums and cold war kids 2… why breakthrough?? keeping up there mtv
x

JP | 8/5/2009, 3:50 pm EST

It’s worth asking again. Why does a network that no longer plays music videos have continues to have a music video awards show? I also have to ask why do Rolling Stone even take MTV seriously as a music network?

Someone asks why do people who hates MTV care. It’s because alot of us remember when MTV used to break new artists that actually matters. Seriously, would anyone care about Lady Gaga five years from now? How many still care about Nirvana or The Eurythmics?

Seriously, turn off whatever reality show you are watching on MTV and go outside for some fresh air. Then come back and go online to check out a music store or an internet radio station to hear what other new music is out there. You’ll be surprised how much fresh music is out there. Music that is more interesting and engaging then anything that is nominated by MTV in the top categories.

Anonymous | 8/5/2009, 4:35 pm EST

Why Britney wasn’t nominated for Best Female…. Womanizer and Circus are the BEST!!!!

frog leg | 8/5/2009, 4:47 pm EST

JP has a good point. no one is gonna care about lady ga ga 5 yrs. from now. remember that stupid ass song by mace and p diddy were mace says ‘10 yrs. from now we’ll still be on top’? hey mace were you at? here we are 10 yrs. later and your not on top. you were just another trend. and most of the bands nominated for this years awards show are gonna end up like you…forgotten. like i said b4…KILL MTV!!!

Tiago | 8/5/2009, 6:43 pm EST

OMG…Britney The BEST!

RM | 8/5/2009, 7:03 pm EST

I think that If i were a boy is a better than Single Ladies!!!! But the video of the year is Womanizer!!!!
Go Britney!!! xD

Cheesecrop | 8/5/2009, 8:53 pm EST

The truly frightening part about all of this is that the only category listed that’s worthwhile has all old videos!

Outside of the best rock video category, which is something I will always have an interest in, regardless of the who, what, when’s, or why’s, and perhaps the breakthrough video, there is literally NOTHING here worth any interest at all.

Gabby | 8/5/2009, 9:15 pm EST

single ladies should win video of the year!
britney is not a role model. lady gaga, i dont care for this strange STRANGE species that she is. she gives me the CREEP and she makes me itch!

BRITNEY IS A SORRY EXCUSE FOR AN ARTIST I WENT TO HER CONCERT IN LONDON AND WALKED OUT OF THE SHOW IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO HER CD I WOULD HAVE DONE SO AT HOME. GAGA IS WILL NOT LAST! SHE AINT VERY TALENTED. Beyonces tour has offically been ranked a # 1 concert attraction thanks to record attendance and an unprecedented multi-leg journey. she is a LEGEND with undisputed TALENTED “Single Ladies” has gained widespread popularity for its catchy hook and theme of female empowerment with critics comparing the song to Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” or Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive. The music video has achieved fame for its intricate choreography,which has been credited as having started the “first major dance craze of both the new millennium and the Internet” thes no comparison.

i enjoy mtv but to be honest and u peolpe will agree, they just started showing music vids, with amtv, which is good,a colletion wiht unpluugged, new vids and old,vidoes that havent been vied on tv for a while i give mtv an A plus, howeverit needs to be more relvant wiht the nods, htere good, but there nos wide range, there the artist that u can haer on pop and hip-hop rados right now, so its like the best new artist and should have one catogoires are shoiwn that they care. but for the new artsist its just cmon peopole that we hear oon the radio with cathcy hooks that u sorta can we ruin in like four moths, but i voted and ihope this year will be fun i m justing watching for the perfoamces and for a treat rusell brand

Everyone needs to stop hating on Beyonce. The girl got it going on and nobody can touch her.

GO BRIT!!!!!
BRITNEY IS THE BEST!

Rik Gainsford | 8/8/2009, 1:42 am EST

Jesus christ, Eminem better win the best video category. Oh and by the way: Beyonce, Britney and Lady Gaga ain’t shit. And their records? COLD TRASH.

Michael | 8/8/2009, 5:36 am EST

I love Britney!
I’m proud of how she’s turned herself around, I always knew she would, and have always defended her. I went to see her in London, it was the best moment of my life, no joke! I hope she performs this year, it really makes the VMA’s.
Oh, love Lady GaGa too. But Beyonce sucks ass! :D

Matthew | 8/8/2009, 10:12 am EST

Hope britney will be d big winner again =) Good luck to Lady Gaga too.

Bob | 8/9/2009, 12:21 pm EST

no shit talking. BRITNEY wins!! that it

britneys fan | 8/9/2009, 4:14 pm EST

Britney should win the Video of the year, Womanizer definitely have the story in it, its about time they should make a video about it, after all guys are getting more of a jerk this year…

Snaves | 8/9/2009, 8:48 pm EST

Almost all of these songs and videos completely blow. Beyonce sucks. Britney sucks. Gaga sucks. Eminem sucks. Kings of Leon suck (though not as bad as the aforementioned). I will accept: The Jay-Z song (god bless you for killing auto tune), Gnarls Barkeley, Cold War Kids, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kid Cudi, and pretty much all the songs that should’ve won besides the David Lee Roth one.

dahum | 8/10/2009, 8:20 am EST

i think BRITNEY SPEARS should win the video of the year prize because her video is sooo catchy & has the best directing & the best scenes ever….but beyonce is not because if you see her video it has the same scene for the hole video!!!its reminds me of britney video in her worst (gimme more) in a direct kind of way (the same scene)&idont like her song or the chorography in the video

dahum | 8/10/2009, 8:28 am EST

BRITNEY should rule the VMAs again by wining most of the trophies she is nominated for(including video of the year)because she has the longest career in the music industry & her videos gives masseges to the people.

Gina | 8/10/2009, 4:37 pm EST

Lady Gaga for everything.

keynee3344 | 8/10/2009, 9:51 pm EST

Beyonce is the shit n u haters need 2 stop hatin beyonce gon we them all!

LaYDeeH LaYzaRh | 8/11/2009, 1:21 am EST

i think queen beyonce should win brah shes obviously the best female artist shes got the moves and the looks and shes even got the personality so i go for queen b

Sylvie Paradis Québec | 8/11/2009, 2:01 pm EST

Beyoncé devrait l emporter haut la main, son clip a été chorégraphié par tellement de gens sur le net. C est drole de voir autant de gens qui imitent leur chanteuse en dansant. Lorsqu un clip a un tel effet sur les gens, c est qu il est digne de mention. Si on pense a des clips comme ceux de Michael Jackson par exemple, les chorégraphies de danse étaient imitées par des milliers de personnes et ces clips ont gagnés plusieurs prix. Donc, si on pense au clip “Singles Ladies” qui a été imité lui aussi par plein de gens a travers le monde, il devrait raffler plusieurs prix. Beyoncé c est plus qu une chanteuse, c est une Queen et les Queen s est faites pour etre couronnée. Que le talent l emporte, que l on couvre madame Knowles de trophés.

Stupid

“Im a bey fan, she needs to blah blah”
Go 2 Hell, anyone can say she’s a fan of Bey and give negative comments. Im a fan of Brit and she stinks blah blah

Well Queen Bey is gonna win most moonman anyway. Let gaga have Pop and New artist. Let Brit Brit have some too. But Bey will have vid of the year, Best Female, Best Choreo, Best Edit, Best Effects, Best blah blah blah so on.
There’s so many and she’ll carry it all to her home with Jay-Z that will so win moonman too!

Hope Brit leaves her slutty image and stay with music like Radar. Circus may do too. And Gaga, well she’s the new Madonna anyway. But she have to hide some of her skin anyway.

LOE LOE | 8/22/2009, 9:08 pm EST

TO BE FA REAL BEYONCE ALWAYS BE IN EVRYTHING AND ALAWAYS WIN SOMETHIN. I ALSO THINK CIARA SHOULD WON WHEN THE COMPARED BEYONCE AND CIARA. BUT OUT OF THE

NOBODY AIN’T HATEN ON BEYONCE I AM SPEAKING THE TRUTH. STOP GIVE BEYONCE ALL THE CREDIT CIARA THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE. BUT I DON’T REALLY CARE WHO WIN OUT OF LADY GAGA, BEYONCE, AND BRITNEY, BUT BEYONCE DON’T NEED TO WIN FOR ALL I KNOW.

I honestly feel that Britney Spears should take most of the awards she is nominated for. Womanizer is her Biggest hit (now even selling more than …baby one more time”) and it being ten years later and her still being around and even MORE famous than when she first started, its a statement itself, shes a LEGEND and will take all awards!

BEYONCE !!! | 8/26/2009, 4:26 pm EST

Beyonce is the finest and best no question, look at those thighs at that woman!

bella | 9/14/2009, 6:41 pm EST

Knaye has always been shit, is shit, will alawys be shit. Hes a fuking retard and a pussy who bullies teenage girls in front of millions. Kanye go fuck yourself! Taylor rules and proves she has class by herreaction. BEYONCE YOU ARE THE SHIT! I mean that was sooo amazingly kind and gracious and classy of her to do what she did, and how she gavepoor taylor to have ‘her moment’.

Britney | 9/15/2009, 5:37 pm EST

Brintey I love you…

Beyonce please no | 10/23/2009, 9:58 am EST

Her father has said to her to give Taylor the chance to do a speech. Beyonce was smiling when Kanye did that. Beyonce has no brains and no opinion…her parents have to talk for her, make decisions. Ring the Alarm…she loves african bold man…so they can take control over her. Lil’ puppet. She the difference between Solange en Beyonce…solange has a opinion. It’s a matter of time when the truth of beyonce will come out. The first step was her lies about her writing songs. She can’t write! She can’t sing…she screams! Dancing…yeah if you practice as much as she does you can do it to but she cant freestyle. Did you saw her dance on jayz’ song at the mtv awards…she made a fool of her self. Moving that wild like a tree in the storm. And she lipsync a lot! Don’t be fooled. And her ass is fake. she uses buttpads.

Gorkem | 11/15/2009, 7:40 am EST

Britney is the legend, the queen.. Gaga and Beyonce are the followers of Britney.. Britney ROCKS!
