Paparazzi performance, 2010 meat dress among VMA's most iconic moments

[Nicole Richie 6]

MTV compiled the most iconic moments of its Video Music Awards from its debut in 1984 with Madonna's opening number all the way to 2013 with Miley Cyrus! Lady Gaga, being a VMA mainstay herself, has two appearances listed, the 2009 performance of Paparazzi and the 2010 VMA domination with her meat dress! Again, this list is in chronological order (from 1984 to 2013).
 

The VMAs don’t do boring. They don’t do passive. No one’s ever yawned during the VMAs  and that’s a scientific fact*. They’re not the classical music awards (no shade  if you’re offended by that, you’re probably much smarter than I am for listening to classical music.)
 
The VMAs take music to the next level, stunt without shame, go hard, and leave you Drake-level emotional. The VMAs have no chill. None at all. But you didn’t come here for that. So before the 2014 VMAs leave you in a temporary trance state in which you can only respond with the words “slayed,†“dead,†“yaaaaaass†and “I can’t,†on August 24, let’s take a look back at some of the VMA moments  some obvious, some deepfaves  that are probably burned into your brain, psyche, soul, and heart.

 
 

43. In her first-ever VMA performance in 2009, Lady Gaga performed “Paparazzi,†staged a bloody, Baroque mock death, and brought new meaning to “slayed.†The bar for VMA performances had been raised. Bring the dramatics, and bring a mop and bucket.

 

 
 

46. Who wore a meat dress to the 2010 VMAs? And a meat hat? Who made it not weird to use the words “meat†and “dress†together in a sentence? WHO WON EIGHT MOONMEN IN A SINGLE YEAR!?

Oh, you hoes, its not rated from the most iconic, its rated by years!

[Hellspont 1,468]

omg how, all 3 of her performances should be in top 20, especially 2009 and 2011. No one can top that tbh what a crap list MTV pays her so much dust.
