I don't even know why I'm still in this thread. I think I'm going to exit and leave all the pressed to talk amongst themselves. I would encourage anyone who is actually happy and proud at the historic performance Beyonce gave to leave as well. This is filled with either trolls or bitter people and we are not going to be able to show them the light because there is too much darkness in their intentions. You are just about the only people who really care about these ratings and probably the only people who are going to remember aside from television executives. Please enjoy discussing this and I really hope it makes you feel better about it. Yes, Beyonce gave a powerhouse performance that was praised by EVERYONE, but on the bright side the ratings were down. Congrats.

I cant at everyone trying to shade Beyonce.
Its obvious that she saved the show and if it wasnt for her the ratings would have been alot worse, you all bandwagon way too much as its clear the GP just wasnt here for the overall show clearly.
Decide to stan when shes performing and drag the next for a few laughs.

Bey really didn't bring in the ratings.

Britney's vma tribute= highest ratings ever
Beyoncé vma tribute= tragic ratings

But wasn't it argued that Beyonce alone had enough power in her name to draw in the views?
And how were the supporting artists lame when the VMAs featured the hottest pop girl of the moment (Ariana, who had 3 songs in the top 10), the hottest rapper of the moment /entire summer (Iggy) and another rapper who just broke the Vevo records for most watched video in 24 hours (Nicki)? These are the live for now artists, just like Beyonce.
Where were the viewers? There was nothing else competing with it and it was aired on a Sunday.

Why does that starpower not work for her own shows without other stars?

Mess at the Kats trying to make Katy more important than she is. Nobody knew/cared about her attending VMAs 2014 except her stans

Shall we compare her VMA boost to Gaga's?

Beyonce was honestly the only good performance. I don't blame people for getting bored throughout the show. Not only that the show had a very unfunny kevin hart wannabe and im sure people got turned off with one bad performance after the other. taylor singing off key, usher putting people to sleep, nicki lip synching. like the show was terrible.

do you really want to reach that far comparing a DOCUMENTARY to a live award show

Not bad. Especially in comparison to yesterday's numbers.

I hate that less and less people are watching awards shows though. They seem to just keep decreasing in viewers.

But I'm glad how Bey's situation changed after one performance.

The Grammys and Oscars have seen INCREASES in ratings in the last few years

[phatty033]

but i thought beyonce single handedly gave the VMAs the highest ratings in 2011 when she wasn't promoted at all or hyped up prior to the show. This year, there was a ton of hype and she was on all the ads, yet the ratings were so low. I don't get it

[Eglė]

The overall show was a disaster. Beyonce's performance saved it, and brought a bit more ratings.

Again, please bring in quotes if you're claiming that. And not ones that happened after the VMAs aired, when it was clear that everyone did just warm up the audience for her.

Don't even bother, they have no receipts. They're simply going by their hurt feelings.

[Stoner]

I thought it was the beyMAs though? I though HISTORY WAS GOING TO BE MADE!!!!!!1

I turned off the show until I got a text of Bey coming on.
I can't blame other people for doing the same.

Its why I'm not surprised with these ratings.

They don't report those for cable.

MTV reported that the ratings peaked at 12.9 million in 2013 during Justin's Vanguard medley but they issued a separate press release last year since the ratings skyrocketed.

That's a shame. Was really looking forward to seeing the ratings and viewership for the half hour slot after the openers. Probably fell steeply but I'm sure Sam Smith drew them right back. His voice.
