Why are people mentioning Rihanna when she opened up the 2012 VMAs and the ratings ended up being a disaster? Just wondering..

Why are people mentioning Rihanna? When she opened the show, the ratings were even lower at 6M... plz.

2009: Sunday, September 13, 2009
2010: Sunday, September 12, 2010
2011: Sunday, August 28, 2011
2012: Thursday, September 6, 2012

Where's Waldo?

[Ryuuchan_X]

I predicted 8 million views. It was pretty obvious it wasn't going to be as much as last years, but it wasn't going to be as bad as 2012

--Primetime MLB game
--Rising Star SEASON FINALE
--True Blood SERIES FINALE

They are trying, and failing, to hard. Not surprising in the slightest.

I didn't even think about competing shows. It actually makes the # of viewers impressive considering. All four of those takes away potential viewers.

I'm not trying to bring Bey down
I only watched the show because of her
Imm saying that the VMAs are a mess for letting these mediocre irrelevants handle the show like seriously 5SOS, Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea

Compare it to last year. Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Justin Timberlake & Katy Perry

What a mess

No P!nk, who gave Grammys their largest rating this year.

[Timber]

But lets be serious, if we had 1D on the show instead of 5sos.

LBR, the moment they announce who was going to be there and who was performing, we all knew that the ratings would drop. Nicki and Beyonce were the only two relevant names on the marquee.

Beyonce is highly overrated this is a clear proof of that.

Overrated yet every review of her performance says otherwise? And if nobody watched for her then how was THIS possible:

Album: BEYONCÉ
#7 United States
***Flawless
#30 United States
Drunk In Love
#65 United States
XO
#52 United States

Not people using VMA ratings as receipts. A new low.

IKR People don't really watch award shows anymore

[rasmushooker]

Wait.. Are people really trying to mention Rihanna when she had one of the worst years with only 6?

After this years fiasco, it's just proves the facts that Gaga is the truly VMA ratings queen.

[Kkamjong]

Lol at Gaga fans thinking Gaga is the reason the ratings were high

Hardly. It proves that even being the major big name on the list, she can still get 8.2 million.

So now she's the sole reason for the entirety of the 8.2 million viewers. Unbelievable.

Whenever Bey slays we get the most annoying type of desperate shade. Let's not let the trolls ruin the beauty of the night for us though. I know we're going to hear "Her performance was just the same thing, good singing and dancing. That's boring" or "She couldn't even set a VMAs ratings record." but let's just remember that Beyonce had one of the best performances in VMAs history, won the biggest award it gives out, and completely slayed an entire album on stage. Who else could do that so perfectly?
