MTV VMA's 2011



The annual who gives a shit anymore awards. When i was a kid, one of my favorite nights of the year was the MTV VMA's, but the last few years, the show has become fucking boring, the nominees don't make sense, the winners suck, and no one attends.
This year, the videos nominated are a special kind of bad.
VIDEO OF THE YEAR:
-Rolling in the Deep - Adele
-Make Some Noise - Beastie Boys
-Grenade - Bruno Mars
-Firework - Katy Perry
-Yonkers - Tyler, The Creator

If Adele doesn't win this, i'm never watching the VMA's again!
