No Selena!?!?

[Mezter]

Okay, this VMA line up sucks

And they're REALLY trying to make Tori Kelly happen How do they go from an iconic line up in 2013 to this

[Stepfon]

When Demi is the biggest female artist performing.

[aaron511]

For me:

Macklemore >>> Nicki Minaj (?) >>> The Weeknd >>> EXCITING >>> Pharrell >>> Demi Lovato >>> MAY WATCH >>> Kanye (?) >>> Bieber (?) >>> Tori Kelly >>> 21 Pilots

Tori Kelly:

No gold albums

No gold singles

Not even a top 50 single on Billboard Hot 100, her highest song peaked at 60 and she's performing at the VMAs.


HOW?

Not all the gays sulking because all your faves aren't performing.

The Weeknd, Twenty One Pilots/A$AP and Macklemore/Ryan Lewis > Taylor singing her woeful new single from 1989 or Rihanna premiering another turd from #R8

COSIGNED!!!!

[SimpleKindofLife]

Every single artist is from a different record label in that picture so i think it's very fair (If the others are Justin and Nicki Island and Republic would both have 2 artists performing but i still find that fair enough.)

[PromKing]

Can we take a moment to discuss that the struggle is so real that people are pissed off that Selena & Taylor aren't performing even though they're the ones usually dragged on here

[znake]

Mess
I won't watch it

[1989]

Maybe Nick said he didn't want to exploit his body and perform shirtless for his performance so they dumped him to the pre-show. tragic.

Nick has NEVER performed shirtless, he only did like two shirtless photoshoots and those were LAST YEAR so yeah this could be possible, that's why Bieber is doing that.

Demi has a bigger celebrity status than Nick....

And? Jealous and Chains both charted higher and sold more than CFTS.

[Idontcareaboutyou]

What a crappy line-up dear good.

[Damien M]

This is officially the worst line-up of any award show, EVER.

21 Pilots, Tori Kelly, Pharrell, Macklemore (who even remembers them?)

It's not about the charts hunny it's about the music and girl has pipes!!!! Also everyone was talking abot her post BET awards. Fo all u ATRLers arguing that its about talent not success look at all of you now lol Can't wait for Tori to slay

I fully agree that talent >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> success. But you also have to actually have good music. Her music is mediocre and directionless, and her singles have failed to attract any interest. So, yes, it's a puzzling decision.

If this was Janelle Monae or some other awesome artist performing, I would be fully on board. But this is dumb. There are plenty of other talented artists around. She's not there because she's talented - she's there because her manager has massive clout and is also managing one of the main headliners of this show.
