Where the VMAs went wrong

Move aside the infamous Miley performance, this is about the actual awards. (Guttered I didn't see the N*Sync reunion. I mean I get their name, I deserve a private concert)

Yeah ok, JT's Mirror was a pretty good music video.
Award winning? Debatable.

Moving along.

Who were nominated: 




Before you think I'm going to go on a rant about these nominated videos, I'll let you know I'm not going to. This is because:
1. I never made it to the end of these videos (Does that already say something??)
so 2. You can't critique something you haven't seen.

But here are some under-appreciated good videos that have been under-appreciated not only by the VMAs but others too.

Visually beautiful with it's colours with a perff hint of morals. This is the direction of Paramore videos from now on. I DEMAND IT! No more Misery Business vids!!
The definition of Throwback Thursday. Edgy, funny, entertaining and groovy. It constantly maintains your attention throughout the video with it's quirky matching to the lyrics. It's got a taste of Andy Warhol to it, if Andy wasn't trying to make a point about consumerism and was just having a laugh.
Technically 2012 but whatever. I love it.
Also technically 2012 but someone give this boy some credit. He's sooo quirky and the long legs and the use of that box space keeps you entranced. But the choreography. Oh it's beautiful. More like this please! More! It was like I had bought a ticket to the local theater for a little show.
Better song and music video than Thrift shop. Whaatt uppp! The constant moving of scenery and the swift transitions between them. Ryan Lewis, I like you.
Such a cute music video. Not a winning vid but definitely deserves some credit for it's hilarity and adorab-ility. Calvin and Ellie sold themselves as a couple! They're naturals. Who knows why there was ever Ellie and Skrillex....
I'm biased. I just love him.
LOOK AT THE TIBETAN MASTIFF!!! So this little video is pretty cute and you may not get it till you hear the Wizard of Oz and Bolivian background to it. Once you do, you'll see how it fits perfectly with the lyrics of the song and just became one perfect marriage. (Wiki it if you need to, it helps)
Yeah so this came out after the VMAs. Therefore:
Dear 2014 VMAs. 
Please get it right. This deserves at least a nomination. 
Yours Sincerely, Abbekah.

And I leave you with this final note. Sometimes I understand Kanye.
