I was really interested to see Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea perform Anaconda and Black Widow respectively ! . The star power was there, besides you all tend to forget how everyone barely watches Live TV anymore or if they do is by live streams and they don't count for ratings .

The issue is that they hyped up her boring performance to the high heavens claiming that "history will be made" only for her to come out there and rehash the Mrs. Carter World Tour. It was embarrassing. They should focus on fostering positive relations with other performers that people actually care to watch instead of centering the show around someone who's already overexposed and has been doing the same routines for every song for the past ten years. But that's none of my business.

So Ariana and Nicki again...Drake, Kendrick, Wayne, Rihanna, Possibly Gaga, Britney (if she releases a new album for Vegas promo), Adele, Bruno, Pink, Eminem and possibly Xtina next year. I think this will rise.

Rehash?

Mine, No Angel, Blue, Jealous and Rocket are not on the MCSWT set list.

Beyoncé bringing in 8.2 million people while the other girls have to share with 10 other girls to get the views.

Her star power >>>>>>>

The delusion

Oops. That's what happens when Gaga is not performing or getting awards.

Because she wasn't advertised. Don't be dense.

Those first few names (Adele, Bruno, Gaga) got people in the door.
Then the twitter interest generated by Beyoncé got people to stay and/or tune in.

How is that so hard to understand?

I never said Beyonce was the SOLE reason for the high ratings. All of them contributed. But obviously some contributed more than the others, like Beyonce.

How is that so hard to understand?

I think people are bored of Beyoncé now, she's only had 1 hit from that album and she's a boring person.

I agree. I don't think teens care about her anymore and that's the biggest audience for MTV

[BritneyFatale]

Did anyone expect good ratings though? I mean the HIGHEST rated VMAs ever was when Queen of Pop and certified global legend Britney Spears got her Vanguard Award
Of course a show with some local R&B act getting the Vanguard award is going to bring in horrible ratings

Not everyone can draw in the views like the iconic global superstar and pop phenomenon Britney whose overall sales destroy Beyonce's

Correlation does NOT equal to causation.

This is kindergarden logic. Please.

The lighting, staging, and choreography were basically the same and nothing that she did deviated from the concepts that people had already seen when the videos were released last year. She went out of her way to recreate as many elements from the vids as she could onstage. How is that not a rehash?

Yes, the hive.

[Rama]

Oop.

[PhreshDiamond]

OOP poor that. I guess this show was just a warm up for when Rihanna will smash it next year.

[Echelon]

Ariana could only do so much.

[Blue Skies]

Not surprising. There was not one noteworthy moment in the entire show.
