It's so unfair Beyonce is getting blamed for this especially when Iggy, Ariana ruled the summer, Taylor is doing her lead single debut performance and the opening act were Jessie, Nicki and Ari.
Never change atrl
Said the person who thinks that ratings declined because of Gaga....yeah right.....never change ATRL.
The hives delusion knows no bounds even when when their fav brings a tragic ratings (a 20% decline) they still think she's above all other stars and let's not act like nicki wasn't the one who stole the show with her vma debut NNNT
2011 was such an amazing year, when Gaga took over Britney's speech, then Britney introduced Beyonce to the stage where she revealed her pregnancy, the most tweeted moment of the year.
Such a good year.
2007/8 (?) was good too, when everyone tuned to see how much of mess britney would be
Not you thinking ALL 8 million watched only for Beyonce
Maybe next year MTV won't focus all of the promotion on a person that people are clearly tired of seeing at this moment, hoping that somehow she'll manage to save the ratings. It was rude of them to basically ignore all of the other performers and put the brunt of the ratings responsibility on 'Yonce in the first place. Her album sales (even with all that hype) turned out to be average. She's clearly not some ratings juggernaut.
The Britney fans wasn't THIS happy when they listened to their fav's lastest album for the first time and when the album first week's sale was released. But I'm sleep tho. At least I have a good live performance to watch.
I love Britney but her fans just don't let me
That's pretty much the line of logic Bey's detractors are espousing.
Without realizing that it works against them.
Not really. I mean clearly other factors were involved in the high ratings of Britney's 2012 vma appearance but the point remains that the ratings sucked this year and the hive is trying to justify them. like get over it the show flopped, accept it.
The 2014 Video Music Awards was Sunday's top cable program with a 4.2 adults 18-49 rating/8.2 million viewers, down from last year's 5.2 adults 18-49 rating/10.1 million viewers. Your predictions were too optimistic.
Wow
I honestly was expecting 10M+ and the Hive to go in and let have on us other bases.
Let me check the history to see how this ranks with the past years.
Is there a breakdown in the peak hour? I would imagine it would be during the beginning and then the end.
and let's not act like nicki wasn't the one who stole the show with her vma debut NNNT
