Typical Rihanna performance. The production was great, choreography nice, but she just didn't give us what we needed. Instead she gave so-so vocals and stiff movement. The choreography was nice but she seems to never want to put her all into choreo. It could have been worse though...I just want to know what happened to the days when the VMA openings were HUGE. I guess those days are long gone...
Although he sounded a little nervous at first, Frank Ocean came with it vocally. I kind of wish he would have went into another song, but it was a decent breakthrough performance.
Pink always gives good energy with her performances. Vocally, not her best, but it was entertaining.
2 Chains was shockingly entertaining. Although him and Wayne looked like coons jumping around at times, it was a interesting watch to say the least. lol
I like Alicia Keys a lot, and I feel like she is one of the more talented artist of the new generation. I feel as though she is taking a turn for the worse. She has just not been able to deliver vocally as of lately. This was one of her worst vocal performances ever! Let's hope she redeems herself in future performances.
Overall I was not impressed with the VMAs this year. It was nothing special. Ususally this award show has some of the most interesting/out of the box performances and antics, and this year it was kind of blah...Peep The winners list below.
