The Weeknd did not win VOTY by votes

There’s no way the combination of our fandom and Arianators got outvoted.

It was set up by the VMAs. Probably for the BLM movement and I understand that

It really was a good video, though I wish he won it with In Your Eyes. Now THAT was VOTY material.  

So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

Are we surprised?

These awards are always rigged. That's how Beyoncé and TS won it before. Even Kanye said it.

And all the awards they gave to Gaga (she deserved them though) was a way to bring her back to their decaying show. They know she brings the ratings the same way Britney, Madonna or MJ did in the past. 

Honestly I thought she wouldn't come back.

Just because Monsters and Arinators are louder than Abel’s stans it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have fans :billie: He’s the most successful singer of 2020, he’s got plenty of fans

Exactly. They were all agreed in advance. 
 

I also think this was a thank you and goodbye from Gaga. I don’t see her performing there again.
 

I think this was an exception since opportunities to promote Chromatica during the pandemic has been sparse. Now she could perform and bring home some awards.

For me Rain on Me is the best video of the year, but blinding lights got viral, besides ROM streams and even some fans here seem to think otherwise

There is no f*ckin way CNCO had more votes for Best Quarantine Performance than Gaga. I voted so hard for that category.

A member who worked at MTV confirmed that they do negotiate the winners after the final results. So they probably were just balancing the wins out across different artists. They did make it up to Gaga by giving her a Tricon Award, so I'm not complaining. I mean it's the VMAs, not the Grammys. It's just for fun.

Yeah but would his fans vote for his video or even care about the awards? He obviously has a smaller amount of “stans” than Gaga and Ari that would spam vote

It’s obvious. :rip: B(o)TS fans probably outvoted is in all categories but the VMA’s make the final decision.

I actually think he won it fairly. He has had an incredible year with his music and it would have been rediculous if Gaga won all the awards. Blinding lights was a great music video and If he won it I say he deserved it. Also you never know, I didnt vote 10 on Gaga for every category, I distributed the points how I thought was fair because We gotta atleast give other artist a shot of winning.

He does, but these types of awards are more for the hardcore fans. No casual listener of Abel is gonna vote everyday.

I think it was set up for him to win, but I think that was because Gaga already won so many awards and was already the highlight of the show that giving her VOTY might've been too much.

The video is good and was a big production, let him win. Why care?

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

Well, VOTY wasn't the only category influenced by the BLM movement, there's no way H.E.R. defeated both Taylor and Demi on Video for Good.

They also gave Maluma an award for his performance, same with CNCO.

I'm only good at being bad

Does anyone believe the awards were actually based on votes? Lmao they're always obviously based on who's attending/what issues are important at the moment. That's why I didn't even bother voting at all, MTV gave Gaga the amount of awards they wanted, not the ones she won the vote in.
