In response to "So about the VMAs" by ty97

I don't understand how this show is still relevant. Do any stations show music videos anymore in a mainstream format?

The only places I see music videos anymore is on the web.

Responses:

and the show was scheduled for two hours, ran over by 30 minutes, and they gave out maybe 5 awards? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 06:41 3
- It was scheduled for 2:30, I believe. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 06:41 2
  - then the on-screen listings here were wrong -- nm - zork Sep 14, 06:44 1
    - I checked tvguide.com during the show to figure out when it would be over, and it was listed as 150 minutes long. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 06:45
Read an article today on Yahoo where the producers pretty much acknowledge this. The awards are merely a backdrop to the main purpose of the show - HdnAgnda Sep 14, 06:37 6
- To that extent, I think the VMAs have always awarded popular songs, and not necessarily always the best 'video'. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 06:39 5
  - was the one that Beyonce nominated for (where Taylor won) the black and white one with her standing around? - zork Sep 14, 06:44 4
    - I think they were talking about the 'Single Ladies' video which is top notch in photography, choreography, editing and performance. - Diva Sep 14, 06:50
    - The interesting part is that the Beyonce video won the 'supreme' award of Video of the Year....which means Taylor award was a runner-up prize of sorts - ty97 Sep 14, 06:46 2
      - Once again I ask...how can the best video of the year not win it's own gender's prize? - Will Hunting Sep 14, 06:49 1
        
        I agree it's illogical, but it seems to be somewhat common for awards......honor as many people as possible, I guess -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 06:52
