The MTV VMA 2011 nominees are in as of Wednesday evening, with singer Katy Perry getting an artist-high nine nominations. Adele and Kanye West, MTV's favorite awards show guest, each tallied seven nominations. Other musicians on the MTV nominations list are Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, and Rihanna in various categories.
The MTV VMA 2011 nominees were announced on MTV's live show following the reality show "The Challenge: Rivals." MTV VJ and reporter, Sway, was with Katy Perry who seemed shocked at having so many nominations. He talked shop with her about the other videos up for the Video of the Year award, including Tyler the Creator's "Yonkers" in which he eats a cockroach on screen. Also in that famous category are Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," the Beastie Boys' "Make Some Noise," and Bruno Mars' "Grenade." They'll all be competing with Katy Perry's "Firework" video.
Justin Bieber finds himself nominated in the Best Male video category for "U Smile," where he'll compete against Cee Lo Green, Eminem, Bruno Mars and Kanye West. Rihanna is a nominee due to her impressive guest appearances on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" and Kanye's "All of The Lights," which also features Kid Cudi. Singer Chris Brown, who won several awards at BET's recent awards show, is nominated for Best Collaboration and Best Hip Hop Video for "Look at Me Now" which features Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.
As is the usual argument with the MTV VMA Awards show, is the fact that MTV used to stand for "Music TV" but rarely plays music videos anymore. They still like to hold their annual show once a year to recognize the achievements of musicians, most likely to get advertising money, and keep up their positive relations with the artists. Surprisingly, MTV has yet to hold a "Reality TV Awards" but loves putting new reality show after new reality show on the air in place of videos.
Should the MTV Video Music Awards continue to be presented even though MTV rarely shows music videos? Who will be the big winner on August 28th, 2011?
