VMA Nominess 2010, Who SHOULD Win/Who WILL Win

BEST COLLABORATION
B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams
Title: Airplanes
Album: B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
Director: Hiro Murai


Beyoncé featuring Lady Gaga
Title: Video Phone (Extended Remix)
Album: I am ... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)
Director: Hype Williams


Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé SHOULD/WILL
Title: Telephone
Album: The Fame Monster
Director: Jonas Akerlund

3OH!3 featuring Ke$ha
Title: My First Kiss
Album: Streets Of Gold
Director: Isaac Ravishankara


Jay-Z & Alicia Keys
Title: Empire State of Mind
Album: The Blueprint 3
Director: Hype Williams

Very good video, great storyline and choreography even though it didn't relate to the song exactly.


BEST FEMALE VIDEO
Lady Gaga SHOULD
Title: Bad Romance
Album: The Fame Monster
Director: Francis Lawrence


Ke$ha
Title: TiK ToK
Album: Animal
Director: Syndrome


Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg
Title: California Gurls
Album: Teenage Dream


Beyoncé featuring Lady Gaga
Title: Video Phone (Extended Remix)
Album: I am ... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)
Director: Hype Williams


Taylor Swift WILL
Title: Fifteen
Album: Fearless
Director: Roman White


I think all the videos suck on here, so i was pretty much picking a favorite out of the least favorites.  I didn't like the Bad Romance video, but I guesss its better than the other.  I think Taylor will get the sympathy vote, but Katy Perry also has a chance because its a popular song, even though its a dumb video.


BEST MALE VIDEO
Eminem WILL
Title: Not Afraid
Album: Recovery
Director: Rich Lee


Usher featuring Will.i.am
Title: OMG
Album: Raymond v. Raymond
Director: Anthony Mandler


B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams
Title: Airplanes
Album: B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
Director: Hiro Murai
Label: Atlantic, Grand Hustle, Rebel Rock


Drake SHOULD
Title: Find Your Love
Album: Thank Me Later
Director: Anthony Mandler


Jason Derulo
Title: In My Head
Album: Jason Derulo
Director: Kai Crawford

Despite me being me being a bit biased because I'm a huge fan of Drake, but this video great.  Storyline, cinematography, it was insane.  However, Eminem had a big year too, and with album sales showed, he will probably take the crown in this catergory.  I wouldn't be surprised if B.o.B. won though.


BEST HIP HOP VIDEO
B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams
Title: Airplanes
Album: B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
Director: Hiro Murai


Eminem WILL
Title: Not Afraid
Album: Recovery
Director: Rich Lee


Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem
Title: Forever
Album: Music Inspired From The Film "More Than A Game"
Director: Hype Williams


Jay-Z & Swizz Beats
Title: On To The Next One
Album: The Blueprint 3
Director: Sam Brown


Kid Cudi featuring MGMT & Ratatat SHOULD
Title: Pursuit Of Happiness
Album: Man on the Moon
Director: Brody Baker

I'm just doing this by demographic and past experiences, Eminem tends to win fan voted awards.  I also thought the "On to the Next Video" was ok but had too much controversy surrounding it.  Kid Cudi when because of the slow motion party scenes really related to the songs.


BEST NEW ARTIST
Ke$ha
Title: TiK ToK
Album: Animal
Director: Syndrome


Jason Derulo
Title: In My Head
Album: Jason Derulo
Director: Kai Crawford


Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris WILL/SHOULD
Title: Baby
Album: My World Part II
Director: Ray Kay


Nicki Minaj featuring Sean Garrett
Title: Massive Attack
Album: N/A
Director: Hype Williams


Broken Bells
Title: The Ghost Inside
Album: Broken Bells
Director: Jacob Gentry

Too easy, the world has Bieber fever.  Even though I haven't been affected, the boy does have catchy songs and deserves this reward.  Nicki however doesn't.  She has great features but yet to have a strong solo song.

BEST POP VIDEO
Lady Gaga WILL
Title: Bad Romance
Album: The Fame Monster
Director: Francis Lawrence


Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dog
Title: California Gurls
Album: Teenage Dream
Director: Mathew Cullen


Ke$ha
Title: TiK ToK
Album: Animal
Director: Syndrome


Beyoncé featuring Lady Gaga
Title: Video Phone (Extended Remix)
Album: I am ... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)
Director: Hype Williams


B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars SHOULD
Title: Nothing on You
Album: B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
Director: Ethan Lader

Lady Gaga will win most of her categories.  You have to remember this is fan voted.  I think B.o.B should win because the video was unique.  The continuous pictures were kinda like a flip book mixed with a scrapbook.

BEST ROCK VIDEO
30 Seconds To Mars
Title: Kings and Queens
Album: This Is War
Director: Bartholomew Cubbins


Muse
Title: Uprising
Album: The Resistance
Director: Hydra


Paramore
Title: Ignorance
Album: Brand New Eyes
Director: Honey


Florence + the Machine
Title: Dog Days Are Over
Album: Lungs
Director: LEGS


MGMT
Title: Flash Delirium
Album: Congratulations
Director: Andreas Nilsson

Can I say I have seen none of these videos and have no desire to watch them?

BEST DANCE MUSIC VIDEO
Lady Gaga WILL
Title: Bad Romance
Album: The Fame Monster
Director: Francis Lawrence


Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull
Title: I Like It
Album: Euphoria/Jersey Shore Soundtrack
Director: Mike Baro


Cascada
Title: Evacuate The Dancefloor
Album: Evacuate The Dancefloor
Director: Max Nichols


David Guetta featuring Akon
Title: Sexy Chick
Album: One Love
Director: Stephen Schuster


Usher featuring Will.i.am SHOULD
Title: OMG
Album: Raymond v. Raymond
Director: Anthony Mandler

Everyone knows Lady Gaga wins everything.  But "OMG" was definitely the dance record of the year world wide and should be honored.

Director: Hiro Murai

Beyonce and Lady Gaga in the same video? No question about it, its undeniable: winning 

Below is an interview with Drake about his VMA performance.  My guess is he's performing " Fancy" because he's performing with Mary J (who sings the hook) and Swizz Beatz.  I'm assuming T.I. was suppose to be there before the scandal happen.  It's funny because the TLC shirt he is wearing if from the "FanMail" tour which was the first concert I went to.
