MTV Video Music Award's 2014 Review : The Good, the Bad and the Just Plain disappointing!

From Miley's twerkscapade last year and Kanye West's "moment-of-truth" during Swift's acceptance speech a few years back, the VMA's is probably one of the most anticipated shows in my books for its memorable moments. I got around to watching last night and i was pleasantly surprised. With Queen B and Iggy leading with eight nominations and Eminem right behind them with seven, the 31st MTV VMA'S visuals was just out of this world and lets not even talk about the spiraling stage. I mean, MTV really out did themselves this time.

For those who haven't watched it yet, SPOILER ALERT!!!I am definitely going to dissect(for lack of a better word really) some of the highlights of the show.

The Most deserved wins

17 minutes of amazing visuals, leg-twisting dance moves, flawless vocals (see what i did there) and heart-wrenching dedications proved that Queen B deserved the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award. 

Other deservees (totally sure there's no word like that but still going to use it :p) are best female Video to Katy Perry for her 'Dark Horse' video, best hip-hop video to Drake for his 'Hold On, we're going home' video, best video with a social message to Queen B for Pretty Hurts, best collaboration to B and Jay-Z for Drunk in love and lastly best choreography in a music video to Sia for 'Chandelier'. They all deserved every inch of that moon man.

 The tie

Best male video to Ed Sheeran for Sing, artist to watch out for to Fifth harmony for miss movin' on  and best pop video to Arianne Grande for Problem are not-so-deserving but deserving at the same time. Confusing? Yes, a little. All the music videos in both categories did have a good chance of winning but there can be only one winner. To be honest, the competition was stiff and i was just glad that one of each got to take home a moon man.

The someone-else-deserved-that-moon-man win

Let me just start by saying that Lorde's Royals is no where near the category of rock. You could say a hybrid of rock, but its more pop than rock. Dont get me wrong there, i love Lorde but they were definitely other musicians in that category who deserved it. Another one is best video of the year. Wrecking ball, come on! If anything Happy by Pharrell should have won that category hands down. Im sure millions of music video lovers agree with me.

The best live performance

Queen B, hands down. But a very strong second was Sam Smith with his oh-so-heavenly-heart-breaking performance of Stay with Me.  It was his first american debut on a live show and he moved me to tears. 

The most-embarrassed-performer

And this award goes to none other than , Nicki Minaj. I could not help but feel embarrassed for her when she came out to rap during her performance with Jessie J and Arianne clutching her dress for dear life. Gosh, Was it a set-up or a true wardrobe malfunction? Only those who were involved would know. 

The best announcers

It goes without saying that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels should probably be the next hosts for any kind of award show from now onwards. They are funny, funny and funny and that's all you need to keep the audience going, right? Lets start a petition guys (seriously!)

Humanitarian Award 

None other than Miley Cyrus deserves this award. Despite her bad girl ways, Miley has proven to have a kind heart with her plight on behalf of the millions of young homeless teenagers not falling on deaf ears, or if may say empty pockets. I salute you Miley for your brave efforts! 

Thats it for my views (dissection-LOL!). 

From a Fan.

Happy Reading.
