I would like to have seen Dark Side, Criminal, or Give your Heart a Break nominated.
Rihanna, Demi, and Regina! 
LYLALS is not the best choice but w/e

Why do people still care about the VMAs? The last 2 years the same **** happened. People get excited and over hyped, and then were let down by it being boring as hell.

Are all the awards based on fan votes only? If so, Bieber will win his awards. His fanbase is crazy

How is it awful?  It deserves nods for VISUAL EFFECTS and art direction, they were nicely done.

If you think WA deserves video of the year... I guess we all have our own opinions, but that's too much cheese for me.
