So the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards are coming up and I decided to vote this year.
Best Female Video
· Beyonce "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"
· Katy Perry "Hot N Cold"
· Kelly Clarkson "My Life Would Suck Without You"
· Lady Gaga "Poker Face"
· P!nk "So What"
· Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me"
My pick: Katy Perry "Hot N Cold." I liked her before she was real big with "I Kissed A Girl." I love how she wears vintage clothes and has an amazing singing voice. Wish her song "Ur So Gay" would've nominated instead but as it is more controversial than "I Kissed A Girl" it really hasn't gotten much air time.
Best Hip-Hop Video
· Asher Roth "I Love College"
· Eminem "We Made You"
· Flo Rida "Right Round"
· Jay-Z "D.O.A. Death of Auto-tune"
· Kanye West "Love Lockdown"
My pick: Flo Rida "Right Round." Eminem has gone down hill since his earlier days. His songs are funny but not really worth my time anymore. He's kind of ridiculous now. My other thought was Kanye West. Though I love that song...he's way too cocky already and doesn't need his ego inflated anymore than it already is. Flo Rida's song is a good one since I like some 80's songs and a remake of Right Round was great. Though the lyrics weren't the same it's still a great song.
Best Male Video
· Eminem "We Made You"
· Jay-Z "D.O.A."
· Ne-Yo "Miss Independent"
· T.I. feat. Rihanna "Live Your Life"
· Kayne West "Love Lockdown"
My pick: Kayne West "Love Lockdown" for lack of a better choice.
Best New Artist
· 3OH!3 "Don't Trust Me"
· Drake "Best I Ever Had"
· Kid Cudi "Day 'n' Nite"
· Lady Gaga " Poker Face"
· Asher Roth "I Love College"
My pick: Lady Gaga "Poker Face." My other pick would've been 3OH!3 "Don't Trust Me." Both very catchy songs.
Best Pop Video
· Beyoncé — "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"
· Cobra Starship (featuring Leighton Meester) — "Good Girls Go Bad"
· Lady Gaga — "Poker Face"
· Britney Spears — "Womanizer"
· Wisin & Yandel — "Abusadora"
My pick: Lady Gaga "Poker Face." I already went through the whole Beyonce thing. Britney Spears...need I say more?
Best Rock Video
· Coldplay — "Viva la Vida"
· Fall Out Boy — "I Don't Care"
· Green Day — "21 Guns"
· Kings of Leon — "Use Somebody"
· Paramore — "Decode"
My pick: FOB "I Don't Care." I didn't choose Paramore since the Twilighters will be voting for them thought I do like them and I am a Twilighter it's time for some relief from that. Kings of Leon is good so it was a tie between FOB so I choose the band I've liked longer.
Breakthrough Video
· Anjulie — "Boom"
· Bat for Lashes — "Daniel"
· Chairlift — "Evident Utensil"
· Cold War Kids — "I've Seen Enough"
· Death Cab for Cutie — "Grapevine Fires"
· Gnarls Barkley — "Who's Gonna Save My Soul"
· Major Lazer — "Hold the Line"
· Matt and Kim — "Lessons Learned"
· Passion Pit — "The Reeling"
· Yeah Yeah Yeahs — "Heads Will Roll"
My pick: Uhhh...I don't remember since I randomly picked one! LOL.
