Hope VMA sthis year wil be better than last year !

I'm still hoping (dreaming..) for a Britney preformance.
No one can top her, w/e it's a mess one or a hot one she's the best!
I prefer a hot one but it's not up to me is it?

I'm kind of excited.

Showstopper.

That's why this was on MySpace yesterday:

Want to help nominate Katy Perry for a Video Music Award?
Watch FN MTV Premieres THIS Friday, July 18th at 8p/7c for details!

They also had that on Vanessa Hudgen's myspace

Hopefully someone good gets nominated a lot

madonna and justin pls

Leona and Rihanna

GO BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rihanna needs to get nominated.

I guess it's too late for Radiohead's "House of Cards" to get a nomination.

Flop.

PLEASE RETURN ALL THE CATEGORIES!!!!!

I hope the nominees won't be invaded by Disney crap

Does she actually think people are going to vote for "Sneakernight"?

Hopefully they bring back old categories. Otherwise, the show is going to be **** again.

^agreed

LMAO! those are old news, mazen
