People saying Gaga doesn't deserve it because she only had one good video era clearly doesn't understand that the Video Vanguard award typically isn't a "career spanning award."
For example George Michael won it due to only his Faith era videos, Peter Gabriel won based on videos from one album, and Janet Jackson won it in 1990 due to Control and Rhythm Nation videos (two eras). The tea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michae...Vanguard_Award
No. She hasn't even had a decent video in half a decade, which is too long for someone whose career is as relatively short as hers is so far. Every video she's released after "Judas" has either been horrible or just plain unwatchable. Kinda says something that the best video she's had since then was "Till It Happens To You," which she had no involvement in whatsoever.
Her best chance at redeeming her videography would have been with DWUW, but... well, we all know what happened with that, in that it wasn't even released.

She has a stronger videography then Rih, that's for sure.
But it's too soon for her too.
The VMA's are trash anyway, so I don't really give a **** about it.

The delusion. Haven't you seen the amazing cinematography in G.U.Y. the fact it flopped doesn't mean it is a bad video. Get your facts straight.
On Topic: They both deserve it, Rih can have it this year. Gaga will get it next.
The way she kinda brought ~spectacle and **** back to the medium at least in the pop sphere back when she came around was pretty major + I think the type of thing they say they are trying to recognize with this category.
But then again nothing she's done in the past 6.5 fits the bill either, so hard to blame em for the overlook
