VMAs: Who Will Steal The Spotlight?
Rob LeDonne writes: ‘If there’s one thing MTV’s Video Music Awards thrive on more than anything, it’s controversy. A single eyebrow-raising moment or risque performance has the ability to dominate the news cycle and lift MTV’s brand into the headlines. From 2003’s Madonna-Christina Aguilera-Britney Spears three-way kiss, to Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift in 2009, and Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus’s twerkgate performance from 2013. Those outrageous moments are increasingly MTV’s only moment in the cultural spotlight. This year’s show, on Sunday, is shaping up to be an interesting one. While many have lamented the current performance lineup, you could chalk that up to it being more of a transitional year, with numerous VMAs first timers on hand to make their debut, from The Weeknd, to Tori Kelly and Twenty One Pilot.’ Who will try to raise eyebrows?
