In response to "I don't understand how this show is still relevant. Do any stations show music videos anymore in a mainstream format?" by JaxSean

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

which is to show/determine etc what is hot right now.

But I guess they can't have an awards show called. What's Hot!

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
