Last year I did the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in Pictures . This just seemed like the logical thing to do. The 2011 VMAs was watched by 12.4 million people, the highest viewership of anything ever to be on the MTV network. When that maybe people are watching famous people dress up to meet in a big room and give each other awards, great things are bound to happen. And happen they did. Hit the jump to see... [...]

If you sat through last night's MTV Music Video Awards , then you've likely got an opinion on how well the show played. (We went ahead and listed the six moments we felt were upbeat highlights .) Regardless of which artists won moon men or lost out , we couldn't help wondering what the Internet at large thought of the awards gig itself, and so we rounded up an assortment of comments from other sites. Read on! :: Entertainment Weekly 's Music Mix point out, "Lady Gaga's [...]

Last week we rolled the crystal ball onto the table, called upon some cosmic ESP energy and predicted who would win in the Best Pop Video , Best Female Video , Best Male Video and Video Of The Year categories at the 2011 MTV VMAs . We also asked readers to weigh in with their picks. The good news: half of our readers' choices ended up winning ! The bad news: we won't be getting called to set up a fortune teller booth at the boardwalk anytime soon. Head below to see [...]

The performances have all been staged and the awards have all been handed out . But now that the dust is settling on the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards , we're realizing that there were definitely more than a handful of standout moments during the glitzy music shindig. Head below for our assessment of the six highlights from MTV's big night. 1. Britney Spears and Jo Calderone's (Lady Gaga) almost-makeout session . Gaga transformed herself into her "You And I" dude-drag alter ego Jo Calderone for her entire stint [...]

Here are Jay-Z and Kanye West from this weekend's MTV VMAs performing their single "Otis" from their collaboration album Watch The Throne .

By now you've watched all the live performances from last night's MTV Video Music Awards — some, probably repeatedly. (We personally can't get enough of Adele's touching, classy moment with "Someone Like You"!) But, oh, right — there were also actual awards handed out! Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" swept the night by nabbing four moon men, though it was for all technical categories. The evening's three other big winners: Katy Perry (Video Of The Year, Best Collaboration), Lady Gaga (Best Female Video, Video With A Message) and Britney Spears ( Best [...]

Los MTV Video Music Awards son premios que, la mayoría de las veces, son un tanto controvertidos ya que el canal de televisión ya no se preocupa tanto por la música a lo largo del año y, durante esas dos horas de show, pareciera que todo volviera a los 90s donde MTV se trataba de algo cultural que formaba parte de la innovación y la comunicación de la música. Pero más allá de esa controversia siempre en estas entregas hay una que otra cosa que se destaca y, la mayoría de las veces, son [...]

Katy Perry - Wireimage The girls ruled the roost at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last night (August 28) with Adele , Katy Perry , and Lady Gaga taking home multiple awards.

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" won the pop sensation two awards: Best Video with [...]

Il capitolo più triste degli Mtv Video Music Awards 2011 è rappresentato dai tributi a Britney Spears ed Amy Winehouse . Annunciati in pompa magna come qualcosa di magnifico, spettacolare, unico, epico e soprattutto pieno di guest stars, gli omaggi alle due popstar sono stati a dir poco vergognosi. Abbiamo visto Mtv nella sua vera essenza: il chicchiericcio, la falsità, la non professionalità, il tanto rumore per fare crescere la curiosità (quelli che gli americani definiscono "hype"), la strafottenza, la superficialità, l'astuzia commerciale, tutti elementi atti ad attirare lo spettatore per poi prenderlo [...]

This past week has already felt like it's been the end of the world. Between the onslaught of the Four Horesmen (a truly devastating earthquake , Hurricane Irene , Steve Jobs resigning , and Kim Kardashian getting hitched ), our planet could use a little downtime from all the excitement. Sadly, that R and R will have to wait till tomorrow at work. Once again, MTV is rolling out the red carpets for this year's Video Music Awards . And while there'll be glitz and glamour galore, the chaos of the past seven days is sure [...]

Lady Gaga stopped by the MTV offices in Times Square yesterday to announce her big surprise regarding the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. I had initially thought that the princess of pop was going to be the host of this year's show, with there still not being one announced. It wasn't what the singer announced but her news was still a doozey. Lady Gaga has been confirmed to kick off the show, which will air live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on August 28. How the rest of the show can live up to an epic opening number [...]

The award `Best Video With a Message` is given to artists who in their videos are trying to send a positive message, a message of encouragement or promotion of a cause. `Last year, many artists have released videos that showed profound experiences and different problems.

I rumours sul tributo a Britney Spears durante gli Mtv Video Music Awards 2011 si rincorrono veloci. Abbiamo da poco pubblicato il post inerente al video promo in cui il nostro Alberto Graziola ipotizzava la possibilità di vedere altri artisti omaggiare la principessa del pop durante la cerimonia. Detto fatto! Se le voci che stiamo per riportare troveranno concretizzazione, artisti del calibro di Lady Gaga , Katy Perry , Janet Jackson , Selena Gomez , Demi Lovato , Ke$ha e Nicky Minaj [...]

Oltre al chicchierato tributo ad Amy Winehouse in cui dovrebbero essere coinvolti Christina Aguilera , Adele , Bruno Mars , Mark Ronson and Esperanza Spalding, altre star di tutto rispetto dovrebbero colorare la prossima edizione degli Mtv Video Music Awards . Pare che la stessa Adele sia stata confermata per un'esibizione da solista: sarebbe la prima volta per la star britannica sul palco dei prestigiosi premi del famoso network televisivo. La sua "Rolling In The Deep", così come l'album "213, hanno fatto piazza pulita in territorio americano. Di sicuro quindi [...]
