MTV Video Music Awards
The MTV Video Music Awards will be held Sunday (Sept. 7) and all eyes will once again be on Britney Spears as she is expected to open the show although she won’t be performing. What will she do this time? Will she woo the crowd or will it be disaster like last year?
The musicians scheduled to perform include Christina Aguilera, Jonas Brothers, Kid Rock, T.I. and Pink
Here are the nominees for the video categories, along with my predictions of who I think will win.
Best Rock Video
- “Beat It” by Fallout boy;
- “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters
- “Shadow of the Day” by Linkin Park
- “Crushcrushcrush” by Paramore
- “Psychosocial” by Slipknot
My Prediction: “Shadow of the day” by Linkin Park. This is a virtual tie between Linkin Park and Fallout Boy. Both of the videos are great, but I’m going to flip a coin and say that Linkin Park will take home the trophy for this award.
Best Hip Hop Video
- “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige
- “Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco
- “Low” by Flo Rida
- “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne
- “Homecoming” by Kanye West
My Prediction: “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne. The video is flashy and over-the-top, and it’s set in Las Vegas. It features alcohol, limousines, partying and beautiful women. You can’t go wrong with that. Plus, Lil Wayne is the top rapper on the scene right now. I think he is a shoe-in for this award.
Best Pop Video
- “Damaged” by Danity Kane
- “Burnin Up” by Jonas Brothers
- “Nine in the Afternoon” by Panic at the Disco
- “Piece of Me” by Britney Spears
- “Ready, Set, Go,” by Tokio Hotel
My Prediction: “Burnin Up” by Jonas Brothers. Despite Danity Kane being far more sexier, I still think voters will give the award Jonas Brothers. This group is very popular among, and they are dominating the airwaves right now.
Best Dancing in a Video
- “Forever” by Chris Brown
- “Damaged” by Danity Kane
- “4 Minutes” by Madonna and Justin Timberlake
- “Closer” by Ne-Yo
- “When I Grow Up” by Pussycat Dolls
My Prediction: “Forever” by Chris Brown. By far, Chris Brown is the best dancer out of this bunch. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave this award to the Pussycat Dolls. Also, Justin Timberlake can definitely hold his own, but consider the fact that he’s dancing with Madonna in this video. Madonna is a 50 years old now, and she’s a lot slower than she used to be.
Best Male Video
- “With You” by Chris Brown
- “Low” by Flo Rida
- “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne
- “No Matter What” by T.I.
- “Love in this club” by Usher
My Prediction: “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne. Once Again, I think Lil Wayne will be victorious in the category. Usher’s video is good too, but it just lacks some of the attractive elements that “Lollipop” has.
Best Female Video
- “Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey
- “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry
- “Take a Bow” by Rihanna
- “No Air” by Jordin Sparks
- “Piece of Me” by Britney Spears
My Prediction: “Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey. Yes, I know Rihanna is the hot new thing on the music scene right now, but I still think Mariah will take this category hands down. The video has a lot of creativity, and she is still the queen of music.
Best New Artist
- “7 Things” by Miley Cyrus
- “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry
- “No Air” by Jordin Sparks
- “Tears on My Guitar” by Taylor Swift
- “Ready Set Go” by Tokio Hotel
My prediction: “I Kissed A Girl” by Katy Perry. Although I wouldn’t count Miley Cyrus out, I am still going say that Katy Perry will win this category. The song is about girl-on-girl lip action, and I think that appeals to the MTV audience more than anything that Miley Cyrus does.
Video of the Year
- “Forever” by Chris Brown
- “Burnin Up” by Jonas Brothers
- “When I Grow Up” by Pussycat Dolls
- “Piece of Me” by Britney Spears
- “Shut Up and Let Me Go” by The Ting Tings
My Prediction: “Burnin Up” by Jonas Brothers. There’s a chance Chris Brown could win this category, but I honestly think that Jonas Brothers has the best chances. People like them for whatever reason.
