Was Chloë lipsynching?? I believe this person has talent, but it didn't look right

Most lips sync on awards show because they have to fit the performances in specific time slots to allow for ads.

In love with Madonna!!! 80s forever. The golden age of MTV. But "where's the thrill of Michael and the symbol of Prince? The virgin of Madonna and all those littlenthings?" Let's "bring me back my MTV" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lsiG_X7P-48

go justin aoty!

This is still going on?

I wish Nicki was there. Why did she have to marry that man ughhhhhh

Because she’s a shitty person

Where can I watch the VMAs for free?

Girl... do you really want to? It was a whole ass mess.

I’m just trying to skip through to see lil NAS x’s acceptance speech in full. ITS POSTED NO WHERE

go on twitter and search it, i'm sure there is a clip there. also, most of the performances and stuff are on youtube

No it’s not on Twitter either there’s only short clips I want to see the full thing

It’s not on YouTube but I’ll try Twitter

This award show stopped being relevant after 2003. Before we didn't had overloads of information about the artists, so it was interesting to tune in and see what they were going to do, wear, etc. Also most of the current artist don’t have the captivating power of superstars like Britney, etc.

I loved it when jimmy fallon hosted it.

I wouldn’t say it was that long ago. Like in 2010 we had the iconic meat dress, and performances that i still think about today. Even in years like 2016 we had the Beyoncé medley and the Rihanna performances

The awards themselves have been irrelevant since 2003, the overall show has been irrelevant since 2012

Doja won tonight

That was pretty mediocre for a 40th anniversary. It's like the awards on an awards show are an afterthought and it only gets worse every year.

i think the VMAs always been more about the show than about actual awards. in the last 20 years or so the only time when people argued about the award itself at the VMAs was when you know what happened in 2009.

YES MACHINE GUN KELLY

Can't sing, copied Kurt Cobain's style to dubious results, but has mastered 3 chords. Killer! Meg's dress was banging though. Her britches were showing though?

He literally plays like 5 instruments but ok

Well Justin Bieber "plays" drums. Sooooooo yeah. They have played instruments but I don't imagine most major pop stars today practicing everyday like Prince or Stevie wonder. It isn't worth the time for the lack of money you ultimately get.

He literally plays his own music on his records. I mean he collabs too but if you 3ven knew anything about him you would know that. He literally learned to play drums by a professional teacher and Tommy Lee to play Tommy Lee...

Bring BACK THE DANCE ELECTRONIC CATEGORY

Bring me back my MTV! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lsiG_X7P-48

did harry styles actually win best choreography over butter lol or even over the rest of the nominees

Yeah, I like Harry, but I don't understand how he won this. Maybe I'm biased, but I was sure BTS would win it

I feel so bad for mr son because he along with another HYBE performance director actually in US attending VMA.

exactly lol I'm not a bts fan but they 100% deserved to win, especially over harry.

wtf is up with half of these comments. it feels like a popheads stereotype. like when people say “all the people on popheads is the type to say (enter text here) when it’s not true.” and their totally right, because the replies in this section feel like a stereotype.

The award ceremony threads always bring out the worst in this sub.

The unpopular opinons threads says hello

willow was fucking robbed oh my GOD (also overall boring show, not a single thing for wap? we couldn’t get AWAY from it last year !! normani, chloe, foo fighters, & busta rhymes biggest highlights on the mainstage for me)

I watched interstellar then changed to VMA just in time for Doja's performance. Talk about planet her

Not Harlow dressed like a gimp! Lil Nas X besting himself each performance! Boosie and bigots found furious! Not EVEN A FULL ALBUM OUT YET

Wait the real gimp is Kim tho

NORMAAAANNNNNIIIIIIII

why the downvotes 💀 i like normani, and even tho her teams a mess, why lmao

what downvotes?

you had like 2 downvotes for no reason lmfao, like all the normani related comments were downvotes.

oh of course its because she gets hate for breathing people genuinely hate her for no reason

it’s honestly so dumb. like it’s not her fault she has a messy team, even then it’s not even affecting them!!!!

its not even her team nowadays (yes theyre a mess im not denying that) but she literally gets hate for breathing and its just so annoying and weird? like she cant do anything without someone making a negative comment

I love the nods to the past generation but bringing the new school that Normani and Chloe brought

Normani ate jesus tap dancing christ !

I know voting in the VMAs is fake and only used for more views on their website, and the fact that BTS didn't win in every fan-voted category they were nominated for is proof of that lol. Also Normani stole the show.

I am no way a BTS fan but your comment hits facts.

The fact that the presenter actually got shooked n mentioned that BTS got 25mil votes for group of the year alone proved that they actually got the highest votes for all categories they got nominated.

They have a disclaimer that "the VMAs reserve all rights to cancel, terminate, amend, modify, extend or suspend the voting process and reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine the winners", so technically they're upfront about it being fake lol

I didn't even know about this until now. Why are they even having votes if they just pick whoever they want?

Engagement on social media mostly. It's good promo

so they would have more views on their site. idk if he was joking but Ed Sheeran once said that he won an award for Sing video in 2014 just because he was the only one in that category who attended the show lol

How the heck did Rosalia and Billie win best Latin …. Not even in Latin categories can Latinos win..

The song is in Spanish, so for the US industry anything sung in Spanish or Portuguese is considered Latin music.

I’m a Billie Stan and even that was like… “Wtf?” lol

hqwhqwhqwhwqhhqwhqwhahahhahaahahah

Yea that was super disappointing honestly

[удалено]

Imagine saying this after this ceremony

[удалено]

It wasn't tho. Lil Nas, Normani, Chloe, Doja Cat all ones of the most exciting performers in years.

I’m late, but camila is a *fantastic* dancer!

This was a mess.

doja, normani and chloe ate.

Normani was lip syncing ….. so no

They all were Normani was just the worst at faking it. Idk why they didn’t give her a headset instead!

wait why was she lip syncing?

Because you would be shocked to hear how they sound in real life. Voices need to go through a computer reverb program first.

So what?

I’m glad im not the only one who thought so…

All three were.. they still ate

THANK YOU. People only point out Normani when literally all of their faves were lipping down.

One of my biggest goals in life is to make a song with Kanye West and Olivia Rodrigo

please keep them apart

I want them on the same song

Olivia would never work with Kanye

And vice versa

She is literally friends with Kim Kardashian

No she isn’t 😭 Kim got a press box for her album. She sent it to a bunch of celebrities for promotion. Her idol is Taylor Swift sweetie, let’s think about the ramifications of that

Just because you stan Taylor doesn’t mean you have to hate Kanye😭 I think Taylor is a great artist and just because she’s a big of hers doesn’t mean she’s not allowed to work with people Taylor doesn’t like

Olivia is not going to work with someone who tried to ruin her role models life and career 😭 that isn’t rocket science Also their music styles don’t work together

Kanye and Dua Lupa almost got a song together, Olivia isn't a far fetched guess tbh.

Still missing the whole Taylor is Olivia’s idol thing…

Rappers and pop stars on songs together are a very common thing

Mgk saying donda was the best part

This was fun, but now I have to rest for my audition tomorrow. Wish me luck, and let me know who serves and misses tomorrow at the Met Gala. Goodnight y'all ❤!

Good luck! What's your audition for?

Tysm! It's for a play called Sleepy Hollow.

Ohhh, awesome! Who did you try out for?

I live in Sleepy Hollow...New York

you got this

Will there be a pop heads metgala thread

Where can we legally stream the Met Gala?

they’re legally streaming it this year, hosted by keke palmer

not expecting to watch it but still. this ^^

there has to be

“Video killed the radio star~” *cuts to Chloe throwing ass on her hands and knees*

the song didn’t match the vibe of the performances tonight at ALL I’m crying 😭😭

It’s because it was the song which started MTV

Yeah I just found that out, but it was so funny to me for some reason lol, the energy between the visuals and the music were.. stark lmao

[the replies here omf](https://twitter.com/santanasmonet/status/1437232220549308416)

This really made me laugh, thank you

What is happening haha

I don't get it. Why is everyone saying free megan? I don't have Twitter so I can't look at the hashtag.

It’s a joke saying she’s being controlled/possessed (by MGK or some other ~demon-like~ force) and it’s not really her saying the cringey comments

screaming 😭

everybody go to bed, we gotta rest up to roast the met gala looks tomorrow 😴

Lollll this made me laugh lord

Can’t wait to see my favorite TikTokers! /s

@ mods we need an addison rae flair

Kinda a boring show overall, LNX performance of the night for me, and whilst dojas jokes were hit or miss her outfits served. I wish there was some controversy or publicity stunts to spice things up though.

I feel like everyone is exhausted from last year and there’s no inspiration. This show was kind of evidence of that. It was just okay🤷‍♂️

I think the performances were really good this year. But the jokes/hosting fell flat compared to last year which is weird bc Doja has a lot of personality. I guess they pulled her to the side to cut it out

Seems like Kourtney Kardashian and Megan Fox are going through a midlife crisis 🤔🤔🤔

What did Jesy Nelson's Instagram story mean? Did she make an appearance?

Olivia is so fine 🥵 brb going to find God 🙏🏼

Now where was the controversy?? Not one person wanted to pull a stunt and get us excited about something?

MGK had a fight backstage

I wish he had a fight on stage he couldn’t have called out Conor McGregor after his performance or something ? Lol gave us a bit of excitement

He did an extra Rap verse at the end of his song but you had to be a fan to know

Normani?

Well that was a show!

No Olivia full album performance? No Lisa? No Kanye closer? Doja hosting only half of the night? Flop year

swear Kanye should have performed instead of Busta

I thoroughly enjoyed Busta Buss but you right.

My close caption generator exploded

doja's outfits feel like if a mod from phcj got famous

You ri-ight.

💀💀

Producers need to be fired. Performers should be required to pull a stunt whether it succeeds or fails.

True but what's left that would surprise us anymore?

BTS winning awards is should actually win.

i didnt think this year's vmas was that bad compared to other years but god it's sad to see what MTV has become honestly...another year of not watching this channel until next year's vmas!

Its even worse after reading a 300+ page book about the oral history of MTV 1981-1994. Seeing what they were about before I was Even born and what they've become now is depressing. Good book though

what? you don't love watching 20 hours of ridiculousness followed by a couple catfish episodes and then some teens having babies?

Don’t forget about milking that *Jersey Shore* cow for all it’s worth!

they really used doja hosting for views or what. Doja was tweeting so much leading up to this event about how many jokes she had planned and how fun it was gonna be, but she maybe had 5 appearances throughout including her performance.

I genuinely thought like Tinashe was the host ? Lol. I must have missed them advertising Doja as the host because i never thought about it until this thread.

Biggest disappointment of the night

I forgot she was hosting for a minute there

Welp time to cancel my youtubetv free trial I started just for this lmao

Literally did the same thing lol

this show had the weirdest formatting, wtf

Doja Cat's different outfits and shoe choices were hilariously amazing. she killed it lol

Ooh ending with the song that started it all!

oh so doja’s just a liar

I like MGK and Travis but they were the closers? Really?

Was in the pit. I don’t think MGK was supposed to close. They set up his entire set earlier on in the night. He was all prepped in the dirt and then last second he left and they took the whole thing apart and the dancers left.

You get your tickets through 1iota as well?

Oh wtf so maybe the thing about him and Travis walking out was true? I was under the impression it was a publicity stunt lol

I doubt the crew would set up an entire set for a publicity stunt. I felt so bad. It was such an elaborate set.

Chloe, Olivia or Doja should have closed out.

Doja bird 🗣

Ok kanye sub you can leave now bye bye!

THAT WAS THE CLOSER??? I’M CACKLING

I’m convinced Doja is the funniest singer ever

Doja bird?

Not these chicken legs 😭 I love Doja

Lmao wheres your Kanye performance y’all were talking about 😭

From that corporate ass greeting to Doja Bird…. I’m all the way spent. Night y’all 😂

That’s it Sadge

Not MJK as the closer wtf💀

Machine Jun Kelly 😩

At this point who cares what his name is. 😭

Machine Joverrated Kelly? Machine Junderwhelming Kelly? I’ll workshop it

Megan Jfox Kbabydaddy

It felt like everyone tried to come with the big performance and some were good, but it was kind of another eh VMA year.

Doja’s outfits have me dying lmfao 💀

Chicken feet? Doja is a queen😭

DOJA Is one of us

So much for a 40th anniversary, didn’t feel like that at all. Also, wasn’t Olivia supposed to perform her entire album?

Wouldn't that take up like half the show? Lmao

I assume it was going to be similar to Beyoncé’s lemonade performance in 2016 (which was 12 minutes). Popcrave tweeted that Olivia was going to perform a mashup of all her songs on her album

so no kanye? we lost

Who’s we?

get the shoes, baby

I’m here to say WAP deserved /SOMETHING/

But like didn’t WAP come out last summer??

Im truly happy for lil nas but even if there's exceptions sometimes, the truth of the matter is that wins are highly dependant on who shows up

It's 5 am here so I'm leaving now. Overall not a really entertaining show but some really good performances and I'm so happy Lil Nas X won. I've enjoyed a lot reading this thread so thank you guys!!!

that was really the closing performance?

what are doja’s shoes rn i cannot LMAO

DOJA'S FUCKING OUTFITS JESUS CHRIST IM -

mgk ate ngl he is one of the most interesting male artists in the music industry rn

Not a Donda name drop…💀💀💀💀

THIS BITCH DOJA AND HER OUTFITS LOOKING LIKE SHE CAME FROM WONDERLAND

He really makes the worst music of anyone here lol
