MTV's Vmas
The VMA’s are the Video Music Awards on MTV, where artist all over the country come
to receive awards for their hit music video's. Many watch on their TV’s to see some of their
favorite artist get awards, and others watch for the fantastic and memorable performances. This year the awards were held in Brooklyn, New York where many stars made glamorous appearances.
Some of the old stars that appeared at the VMA’s were attempting to make comebacks, or accepting awards like the Michael Jackson award given to Justin Timberlake, who preceeded his acceptance with an amazing performance including his old band: NSYNC. Lady Gaga appeared, singing her new song Applause and everyone was amazed by her new look and surprising comeback. Katy Perry sang her new song Roar, and Miley Cyrus made an appearance singing her song We Can’t Stop and "singing"
with Robbin Thicke (the singer of Blurred Lines). Let’s just say that they sure made an impression. Drake also had a performance singing Hold on Were Going Home, one of his new songs from his album and Kanye sang Freedom. With so many people in the audience and so many watching at home, it's obvious that the VMA’s are a big thing and many love them. A great way for artist to get known or to get noticed again, I highly recommend that you watch the VMA's!
