Emvee 8,554 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 as far as im aware taylor swift isn't the only skinny white girl (!) in the world (miley cyrus, anyone?), and this isn't the first year of the VMAs (yet again, Miley Cyrus, who won last year's VoY?)Come back with an argument when Nicki has a video that has AT LEAST 500 million views for a single that sold more than 10 copies. Anaconda. Was. Not. That. Successful. VMAs are all about success. Not race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEVDALIZA 1,274 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 How does race even come into this? How many awards are black artists up for? How many awards has Nicki won? A LOT. Nicki's just having a weak time with the Pinkprint and Anaconda isn't exactly groundbreaking or fresh. I'm not sure why she expects to win awards for songs/videos like Anaconda or Feelin' Myself or even cares about winning awards. I guess her priorities are in recognition, not in the music itself, huh?I mean, if I were in her shoes and I saw white people win awards for something I had done too that was just as successful while my work was not being recognized, I'd be raising an eyebrow too... operating from another world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uo111 5,266 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 diane needs to worry about the tihty mess until then she can keep her mouth zipped! and as for taylor, she was in the wrong imo and she should apologize. In the wrong for what? Defending herself from someone attacking her? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianni Versace 2,987 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 On her twitter. Don't tell me you believe her when she said it wasn't about taytayit was a general tweet geared towards the inequality black females are dealt with. you should be looking at why taylor felt guilty or personally attacked- it's because she fit the bill. it wasn't specifically about taylor though.

XGirlfriend 950 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm sorry but the VMAs are corrupt. Its supposed to be VIDEO music awards, but they'll only nominate you if you were the big hit or the popular video. AND I'm pretty sure they only put Beyonce in Video of The Year probably because they felt there was no other star Taylor could clash with in that category. They couldn't nominate Miley cause she has no new stuff out so they just thought oh you know we'll let her host And where as Taylor? I'm beginning to see that she's not so nice after all. I mean she keeps thanking for the nominations but she also says on the side "go vote noww" and in a few days will probably start posting pics of her cats asking her fans to go vote. The nominations were based on performance of the product not its quality. REALLY 7/11 FOR VIDEO OF THE YEAR? THERE WERE TONS OF VIDEOS THAT ARE BETTER THAN ALL THE 5 THAT WERE NOMINATED. I'm not even gonna watch the show cause Taylor is probably gonna win all the awards. WHAT A MESS TBH. bye mtv. everything went downhill from 2011.

A prime example of how racism has nothing to do with this so some artists go under criteria A and some others go under criteria B. seems unfair to me. operating from another world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
