Where's Waldo?
Almost half of VMAs were held on a Thursday with higher ratings.

So now she's the sole reason for the entirety of the 8.2 million viewers. Unbelievable.
That's not what I said at all.
When was the last time Rihanna or Gaga or whomever else people are mentioning was the biggest name alone at the VMAs and it still rated high? Honestly, when? You can brag all you want about your fave's last VMAs ratings, but chances are they were not the biggest person there.
No Gaga, no Britney, No Madonna, and no Rihanna. Oh course ratings are going to be down. Beyonce's fan base can't make up for the lack of those four fanbases.
Mess @ ppl mentioning gaga, ch a lot of the gp aren't thinking of her rn accept it. They should of gotten other big names other then Bey & Nicki but regardless award shows in general aren't as popular anymore
Not everyone coming for Beyoncé. Wtf. As if the recipient of the Vanguard award is responsible for the ratings. The VMAs were just really bad and they are getting worse with every year...that's just the way it is.
You do everything to belittle her success. Her performance was amazing and thats it. Her album shot to the US iTunes top 10 again and thats great. Keep fuming and seething though
After hearing that ISO track I guess we can say poor America their expectations then?
Unbelievable. 
Stop making excuses, this is the lowest views on a Sunday since 2007
