Born To Slay 10,996 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 11 minutes ago, DemeLarell said: Award Shows ratings are mostly determined by what the show was like the previous year. Last year the show was good but very lack luster causing many people to lose interest this year, BUT seeing how this VMAs slayed next years ratings will be higher if they play their cards right with the performers and hosts like they did this year. I gotta say, I don't think the public cared for this year. I have read very few positive comments. If anything, I think this year killed the show. im not trying to be harsh, that's just my observation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VMAs made sense at a time when MTV had shows like TRL and Making the Video as part of its line-up, but it now just seems out of place with most of their other programming and the ratings are showing that people are losing interest even with an all-star line-up. I think it really sucks that the YouTube Music Awards were so poorly planned and managed back in 2013 because it really does seem like YouTube would be the natural successor to MTV in terms of hosting a music video award show. I don't think YouTube gave up the idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 26,112 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's exactly how I felt watching it last night. Everything was wrong about it, from the boring red carpet to the hosts (I mean, who thought this was a good idea to gather the 4 or 5 most annoying persons in the USA and give them the reins of the show...?), and I'm not even mentioning the unmemorable performances. Even the better parts were wrong: Beyoncé's medley was too long, and I got slightly fed up with Rihanna.... and I LOVE Rihanna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTNebraskaGuy 19,547 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The VMAs are a mess. They try to be cool and hip with the times but it cringe worthy AF. Nothing's about music as much as it is about trying to make something the media will grab and eat up. One, five, ten lay a million on me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Ryan 1,468 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Ratings might not have been the best, but everyone is talking about it on every platform possible and the impact it has on the performer's sales. Still, a win. They also went up in streaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
