LOL. MTV in general gets relatively low ratings if we are gonna look at the population. 12M was the highest, so that would be considered low too compared to the amount of people living here. Plus, it's a cable nework - not one of the major national networks. LOL

Do y'all even know how TV ratings work? Nielsen only measures select households. The numbers are basically a ratio and in no way, shape, or form give us the actual number of people watching

but lmao they do that for all shows though so why should we question how legit the numbers are now just because yonce started flopping?

8.2 isn't as bad as I expected. Still terribly low though. Proof that we need some new charismatic, and buzzy artists (as opposed to your Ariana Grandes, Iggy Azeleas, and Jessie Str8s).

Bet has dedicated viewers. Mtv doesn't.

They also still dedicate some of their channel to MUSIC. And it's not even in their title.

The EXCUSES.

[Cap10Planet]

Gaga can't sell singles or albums anymore, her touring power is fading,.and she always gets overshadowed at these award shows, so are people really convinced that Gaga is still a ratings magnet? Besides every year Gaga went, there were other huge stars, too.

Selena's rating draw power is unmatched

I'm all for Beyst and Hive getting the lashings but this is not her fault, these were among worst VMAs of all time, by the time her performance started I'm sure most of people changed the channel.

Thats kind of worse, she couldn't even get people to keep watching until she performed

The thing is, Beyoncé's performance remains the only good thing about the VMAs this year.

Taylor was king of ok, but her vocals was bad and it was as cheesy as it gets.

Nicki did fine, but the whole opening seemed incredibly rushed and it was a mess altogether.

Rihanna looked good, but Iggy's horrible live voice ruined everything and Usher was meh

By all means, put it on Beyoncé, anyone that actually managed to sing perfectly. Y'all really just want her to fail so bad and she slaps you in the face each time.

[BoyOnBoy Wonder]

Imagine how low they would've been if Beyoncé hadn't performed....

This is the Super Bowl all over again.

His Soap Bowl performance being sandwiched by others with higher ratings is the biggest cackle. It's just a myth that he has the power the Hive say.

Proven wrong time and time again. Still trying to make XO a hit. Embarrassment.

[Sinvius]

So basically, according to the most of you, Beyoncé was the only one who was performing that night since the collective viewership of the VMAs is entirely her fault.

And it looks like the BET Awards are going to start surpassing the VMAs now too.
