MTV Video Music Award Nominations
The MTV Video Music Awards nominations were announced last week and Rihanna and Drake lead the pack with 5 nominations each. Rihanna is up for Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video with “We Found Love” and Best Choreography and Best Visual Effects with “Where Have You Been?”
Katy Perry is right behind them with four nominations. Beyonce, Coldplay, Frank Ocean and M.I.A have 3 nominations each. I heart Frank Ocean and I’m happy for his nominations but it just feels like MTV just wanted to give him some reason to show up to the show, which he probably won’t. The full list of nominees is below and you can see who takes home a moon man when the show airs Thursday, September 6th at 8/7c on MTV with performances from Alicia Keys and One Direction.

BET Awards 2012
The BET Awards aired their annual show last night and they should have just called the show “The Carters and Kimye” because that is all the camera cut to for most of the show. The show ran 3 1/2 hours and that is minus the pre-show. Lets’s start with the pre-show. It ran for 2 hours and was just a hot bed of ignorance and
Machine Gun Kelly performing. He’s …. enthusiastic and sadly he’s was one of the better performances on the pre-show.
Rocsi and Terrence. Ughh Why? She looks like a bedazzled hot mess. They said they are leaving 106 & Park. I need that show to end now. Terrence quitting I understand, Rocsi no. Just because you upgraded to Eddie Murphy as a boyfriend doesn’t mean you need to quit your day job because lets be real you really have no job prospects. It seems like the male former hosts of 106 &Park always end up doing bigger and better things than the show but the women always falter. I mean who has seen Julissa or Free in anything since they left the show.
Saturday Night Live: Jay-Z and Beyonce’s Baby
If you don’t know from my numerous Beyonce posts, I’m a little bit of a Bey stan. So when Maya Rudolph did a skit where she played Beyonce I was all over that. It’s pretty funny and an added bonus Justin Timberlake does a guest appearance as Bon Iver.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Beyonce – Dance For You Video
Beyoncé has released yet another video for her new single, “Dance For You.” At least I think it’s a new single. She releases a new single every other week so I don’t know. Whatever new video by Beyoncé. Check it out.
This song is one that comes on the deluxe version of her latest album “4.” I liked this song when I heard it on the album. Its nothing spectacular but it’s definitely a sexy song and Beyoncé delivered it with an even sexier video. This was clearly shot pre-baby bump. It looks like she was inspired by 1940s film noir. The entire video is her doing some nice chair work. She did this better though when she was with Destiny’s Child for their “Cater To You” video. This video and all other video releases can be found on her new concert DVD, “Elements of 4:Live at Roseland” which is in stores November 29th.
Video: Beyonce – “Party” Remix
I know this the third Beyonce video I have posted in as many weeks and some of you are thinking “every time I come here she’s got another Beyonce video up, is she obsessed or something?” and I would answer yes but don’t blame me for her having put out 3 videos in the last month ok. Anyway Beyonce has released the video to her fourth single,”Party” from her album, 4. This version is a remix that features J. Cole. Andre 3000’s verse has been removed for some reason. Enjoy.

Yep, Another Beyonce Video
She gave the teaser for this last week after she released her “Countdown” video and now the finished product has been released. Here it is. “Love On Top.” Enjoy.
I like this video. Its got that 90’s R&B group feel from this video. Very New Edition. People are already saying she stole from them and did she get permission. Why does she have to get their permission to emulate something? You see in this one she wasn’t that far along because she’s dancing a whole hell of a lot more than she did in the “Countdown” video. The video is very simple. Nothing special really. Love the outfits. This chick’s body does not quit. Just ridiculous.
Beyonce Stole “Countdown” Choreography??
Another day another accusation about Beyonce stealing something. Belgian choreographer, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is accusing Beyonce of plagiarizing her dance moves for her latest video “Countdown.”
The choreographer has come out against Beyonce saying “I didn’t know anything about this. I’m not mad, but this is plagiarism,” she said. “This is stealing. They took pieces from Achterland and Rosas danst Rosas. It’s a bit rude, I must say.What’s rude about it is that they don’t even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it’s a famous work.” People have commented that she should feel flattered that Beyonce would want to emulate her work. This is the 3rd time this year Beyonce has been accused of stealing dance moves or performances from others. The first when she premiered her “Run The World (Girls)” video and the second would be when she did her “Run The World (Girls)” performance at the Billboard Awards earlier this year. I think its stupid to think any artists is coming up with anything original. Everyone draws inspiration from somewhere. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

MTV VMA
Let me just start by saying that this year’s VMA’s were definitely better than last year’s, very disjointed but better. I love Chelsea Handler but she wasn’t a good host. They should have just gone ahead and made Kevin Hart the host. I mean BET and MTV are under the same company so they should just make him the host of both the BET and MTV awards.
The pre-show was just a hot mess of no names (Who the hell is Tyler The Creator) and ridiculousness (Amber Rose, Nicki Minaj) we’re not even going to dwell on. I will say that Beyonce announced her pregnancy at the pre-show and MTV didn’t even show it. They were too busy with Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber talking about his pet Johnson (Ughh).
