Not some of the gurls carrying on about ratings, when some of their faves haven't scanned platinum.

So, lemme get this straight?

Beyonce's star power is what created hype in 2011, allowing for the highest ratings in a minute. Bitin 2014, when the entire show is focused on her, Beyoncé's star power is not enough to even beat 2008's ratings ?!



The double standards though

yes, this is what the hive believes

no one knew beyonce would be announcing her pregnancy on the red carpet beforehand so this makes no sense. And you must have selective memory because Britney was hyped just as much as Beyonce, she actually made a few versions of commercials advertising her tribute.

and lol if you actually believe that it was MTV who didn't want Britney to perform rather than her own decision, please.

What?

The red carpet was before the show. If Beyonce announces her pregnancy there, people WILL tune in to watch in time for the show.

And you're acting like people can't tune in midway through the show.

Clearly those viewers saw it for her on Itunes. Oop!

Wow!
Stoner is really bothered in here.

Hun, Brit's "tribute" will always be viewed as just an introduction to Beyonce's performance/pregnancy reveal. That perception is never changing.

Cling to this tho. What else is there left for The Army? Album sales? Single sales? Tour numbers? Yeah. Feel for y'all. .

[Lukey]

Hmm.

[Jolie's Lips]

You can't have this type of award show and not have any global pop stars, MTV. The VMAs might be an American event but people want to see a worldwide superstar like Gaga.

[Almighty Gaga]

Gaga her power strikes again. She always wins.




To be fair, Beyonce couldn't carry this year's VMAs alone though. She shouldn't be blamed. The show was more of a Teen Choice Awards than a VMA.

nnnnn;
Dont expose them like that, they easily find the smallest of moments where other peoples faves dont excel amusing, even when its more than their faves can ever pull/dream of.
The fact that people actually debate about ratings for hours on end is sad in itself but oh well *Looks at Beyonces position on Itunes*

[JessPop]

Oop at this swift ratings clock. Wasn't Bey the one that attracted all of those 2011 ratings since Britney's Vanguard moment was so "boring" and Bey was the "star" of the night? Not these ratings clocking the real tea. Nobody is paying attention to her like that obviously. Best call up Britney for next year's spot and see if she'll be so kind as to donate some footage from the Vegas residency.

The 'entire show is focused on her'.

Does that mean Beyonce brought in 8 million viewers by herself.? That's 70% of the 2011 ratings.

But aren't Twitter records claimed to be irrelevant to the Hive? That's what I kept hearing when other artists and not Bey were consistently topping social media charts.

I do not care for twitter, but it is relevant when it is used to measure who or what was the was the most popular topics during live award shows, like in 2011 it was all about Beyonce's pregnancy.

[YSL]

Guess like with the Super Bowl, she couldn't top the previous year's ratings.

It's funny how every year Gaga isn't there, the ratings drop and when she is, they suddenly go up.

HBO is a paid for subscription service. MTV is not. It's not really a shocker that the VMAs doubled their ratings.

This is true, maybe it was this saturation what caused the low ratings? A 4 minutes performance would have sufficed tbh.

Nobody but 8.2 million people. fff
If Beyoncé pulled that ALONE like you're suggesting, that's more impressive than not.

[Jolie's Lips]

Every time Gaga attends an award show, whether it be the VMAs or EMAs, the ratings go up. Wow, like, I can't at her power to attract viewers.

no people did not tune in solely for Beyonce

there's not one person who brings ratings in. It was a combination of Gaga hosting, Britney's hyped up tribute, Adele, Beyonce, etc.

[Boomer]

King didn't appear until the last 17 minutes of the show. There was no way she was gonna save almost two hours of horribleness (outside of Sam Smith). She's a GAWD but even she couldn't pull that miracle.

HIVE there's nothing to argue here. Our bytch slayed!
