We all saw this coming
Competing with the DNC for ratings
No Gaga, Britney, Bey, Adele
Lackluster performances
No OMG moments to make people tune in
Also heard people saying they got bored because the same people were nominated for everything

I could understand why people might say Gaga or Britney bring in additional ratings, but where are people coming off on Beyonce bringing ratings?
The first year she performed, the VMAs decreased by over a million viewers.
2006, when she performed, had the lowest ratings of any VMA broadcast ever including this one.
That's not to say she's responsible for either of those faults. Certainly not, but no more than Rihanna or Taylor would be for this year's. Rihanna performed in 2007 and 2008 which both year's showed up an uptick in viewers. Not to say she was responsible for that either.
But in 2009, the other year Beyonce performed, it only did an uptick of 0.5 million on 2008. And if you accredit that to anyone other than Michael Jackson's death or maybe Gaga's debut then........lol
2011, sure she had a moment THERE on stage, but why would she be held responsible for the uptick in viewers overall? None of her other appearances earlier that year had drawn ratings gold nor did she have hits. Why is she considerably responsible for it, and not Gaga? Or how about Adele who had an unprecedented year? What about Britney, who always brings VMA ratings? What about Kanye/Jay-Z performance? Or even Katy Perry?
I'm not sold on Beyonce being a ratings draw. There's no factual evidence to support that she is.

Obviously. We had no good performers, no good performances, and the trinity was not there. Gaga, Bey, and Britney bring in the ratings, as evident last years. Without any of those three, the ratings slip

Maybe because MTV, themselves, attributed last year's VMA ratings to Beyonce. She also spiked the Billboard awards that she performed at last year. BET Awards received some of their best ratings with Beyonce sitting in the audience. Also, she is one of the few (like Lady Gaga), who can have a special on primetime TV that would garner nice ratings.
Just a few reasons. Not to mention, she is the greatest performer of our generation now.

I'm certainly not arguing that, but it wasn't advertised to viewers that she was announcing her pregnancy. Why am I supposed to believe, based on her history, that she was responsible for the ratings? It's a bit sketchy to buy into, no? Seems more like a card in a full deck than an ace.

Weren't you there the night of the vma's last year? People were already speculating about her pregnancy, she rubbed her tum, Twitter went bat**** word got around fast, and everyone tuned in to see if it was really true
