Hm, that surprises me quite a bit.

Tried to vote, have to login apparently.

WHat's OK Go? And Tom Petty and David Lee Roth? Never heard of those.

ok, now you're just being silly

 

[Screwtape2]

While I love the Streets video, if I had to vote I'd definitely go with Sabotage.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

that or Human Behavior

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

OK Go's 'Here We Go Again' video was cool.....but award-winning-worthy? Don't think so

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I like Bjork's, George Michael's and Radiohead's videos.

FUCK MTV, they should have gotten it right the first fucking time around, stupid worthless douche bags.

& no way in hell im logging onto that site to vote. MTV is so awful it is downright offensive.

I'm surprised they're even doing the VMA's anymore. That's valuable time that could be devoted to reality shows about celebrities nobody has heard of or cares about.

 

[MoodyJ]

Are they just making up categories for the sake of it now?

Great fucking quote!

I think so, next new category will be video with the best food on the set.


I like the Radiohead video, and the Bjork one. Which ever artist the kids like most will win.

It seems MTV is openly admitting that there is nothing good enough from this year to get people to watch.

How many VMA's have U2 won?

 

[digitize]

What? The video for Streets is hardly one of U2's best efforts. They want an amazing one? Try this monster:

YouTube - U2 : Lemon 1993 (Album Version - 6.59) HQ

Yes, there is definitely a long range of U2 music videos that would outclass Streets, Lemon being one of them. But it's MTV, what did you expect?

Something like this, I guess.

You're right.

 

[powerhour24]

Streets? That list is kind of on crack. Karma Police is a horrible video.

Everlong certainly deserves it, great song, awesome/hilarious video.

Heh.

 

[Galeongirl]

No I'm actually serious.

Cool videos , yes, indeed, but since the early 1990´s that MTV has become a big joke.
Can´t take it seriously anymore. The prizes are all bought by the industry.
Don´t believe the Hype!

 

[redhotswami]

Why the fuck is MTV still having VMAs when they don't even show music videos anymore?

 

[Max_theHitman]

Oh yeah, I can see Lady Gag-Gag winning EVERYTHING this year !!

 

[adamswildhoney]

Is this for real? Seriously! This gots to be a joke. Karma Police is my vote, sorry boys!

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

Why the fuck is MTV still having VMAs when they don't even show music videos anymore?

Bingo. They should just have a reality tv awards show and change the channel name to RTV. I hate MTV and wish they would go off of the air, and all of the fuckbags that work there would be out of work. Even if they did go back to being somewhat relevant and showing actual music videos, music specials, and concerts on MTV, they still have done far too much damage over the last decade to ever win me back. FUCK EM! assholes
