While rating the BEST & WORST moments of the show, Both publications basically dragged the show as a whole, for being lackluster & disappointing.
BEYONCE seems to be the only saving grace of a disastrous show, according to both.

WORST: Basically the Entire Show
Did the 2014 VMAs even happen? Unless you work for one of the brands that sponsored the show (and had their names repeated over... and over... and over again on-air), there wasn't a whole lot to cheer about at this year's event, a strangely somnambulant affair periodically interrupted by commercials. Sure, there were a few memorable moments — Miley allowing a homeless youth to accept her Video of the Year Award, Beyoncé's show-capping medley, Blue Ivy being adorable — but nothing on Sunday night truly broke through in a big way. MTV will be lucky if people are still talking about the show next week, let alone next year. The whole thing was so blasé that even the butts looked bored. And there were a lot of them.

The 2014 VMAs won't go down in MTV history as one of the best, but this year's show did give us a few touching and genuinely surprising moments, from Miley's plea for homeless youth to Blue Ivy's flawless hands.
Sunday night also had its fair share of screwups: Production mistakes, fashion mistakes and terribly unfunny routines.
The VMAs Production: Directing and editing a live awards show is always hectic, but woof, there were some weird goofs this year. Half of Austin Mahone's red carpet interview found his disembodied voice talking over an interior shot of people walking into the Forum. But most of all, after Beyonce's performance, the VMAs came to an abrupt finish 15 minutes early. Not that an early wrap is awful, but they could have at least ended gracefully. When everyone is tweeting, "Wait, it's over??" at the end of an awards show, something is wrong.
