Beyonce - Lemonade Medley

for those that missed or want to rewatch god in action
can't get over how much I liked it more than the beyonce medley she did for her vanguard award


edit; can I also say this was probably the most entertaining VMAs in years
and despite their attempts for mess with the hosts, it was all down to the music
even Kanye was likable

 

[Touchdown]

I am CACKLING!!! They give Ariana a bike to ride knowing she has poor breath control in the first place! What a tragedy.

 

[Vazduh]

Oh, lord, that Britney performance.

I was actually rooting for her, but when the CD-quality vocals came on, as well as that stiff choreo (not to mention G-Shitty), I realized I was naive beyond belief.

It didn't help the matters much that Beyonce and Rihanna outperformed pretty much everyone, ever.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Wait people thought Rhat was amazing?

Lmao the perfect delusion!

Riri only singing 5 second parts of her songs then relying on CD quality playback is called "stealing the show"?

How can she justify it especially when her dancing is WHACK!

Poor Rhat

Overshadowed by Beyoncé as always

The choreography was basic but she wasn't stiff. She did great

 

[Vazduh]

She did better than this, that's for sure.

Beyoncé won

Poor everyone else who attended.

 

[Soulscribe]

Everyone sucked except for Bey.

This is sadly true.

This show was BAD you guys. Way too few performers, cringe presenters. It felt like there were barely any musicians present. I guess it's a testament to how music has taken a backseat at these shows.

 

[Little Mons†er]

The VMAs this year feel so trashy now

It's like a three star michelin restaurant being downgraded to junk food

What I hate is how the VMAs have lost its class in favour of something soooooo cringe worthy and appealing to just "Stan Twitter"

Ehhh VMAs has been trashy for years. This is just going deeper in the dumpster

 

[Aguila]

This snippet of Carly in the studio was better than anything from the VMAs.

True

Last year, the Nickie and Miley Virus beef felt so forced and fake

I have HIGHER ON REPEAT!!!!!

When will any of your faves release such a bop? NEVER!!!!

 

[Poker Face]

Gaga should release perfect illusion so we can stop talking about VMAs

 

[royalan]

I think "Perfect Illusion" was just a reference to the trickery Gaga pulled convincing her fans she'd have something out by the VMAs.

 

[Mau ®]

The VMAs have indeed been trash for years but I honestly won't be watching them ever again. It was nauseating how disjointed the whole thing was.

Anyway Rihanna was not very good on the certain acts, but she did slay Stay/Diamonds/Love On The Brain and ain't nobody telling me otherwise. Also HOW CUTE ARE DRAKE AND RIH TOGETHER? Akbalfnsjfjgkakjfka ❤️❤️❤️

Drake's speech about Riri for her award was pretty cute ngl

If someone talked to me like that I'd cry lol

Yeah


Rihanna was awful except for her last set. Thanks for trying girl.

The gulf of talent that separates Beyonce from her peers is insane. No one else remotely compares. It's almost sad because she nullifies everyone else so easily that it's always the Beyonce show wherever she goes. Probably good that Gaga wasn't present, then again the show needed more heavy lifting from actual talent. Oh well.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Gaga doesn't need the VMAs for success and she will prove it

gaga does things on her own accord and she isn't obliged to follow the crowd

gags probably hates them now anyway because apparently they made her change her VMA performance idea because they wanted Miley to be the main event.

To me it seemed he chickened out of a proposal. Why else was he dressed up?

Yeah that was pretty shitty of them tbh.

To favour smiley Virus is legit dirt cheap to milk all that forced controversy

Maybe he was dressed up as it was a formal event?

Although he tried to go in for the kiss and got rejected so oppps lmao

 

[B-Dex]

Joe... MTV and formal?

Also MTV trying to ruin Drag Race:

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Queen of snippets

 

[The Flop]

The Chainsmokers should delete it fat after that performance. Who told that kid he could sing.

 

[Touchdown]

Was Drake always a bad singer?

 

[The Flop]

Was Drake always a bad singer?

I didn't know he sung?

 

[B-Dex]

I think it's time VEVO did a music video award show. Clearly MTV has no clue anymore.

The chainsmokers guy sounds good in the studio version of that song he sang. I bet it was nerves making him terrible. And doped out Halsey. But they are DJs/producers anyways so not a big deal he can't really sing live.

 

[The Flop]

RIh should have done "Cheap Thrills" in her last set.

Also do we know what the cryptic commercials for SIA meant?

I'm ready for queen to pop my cherry with her new material. But it seems to soon?

She tweeted this right before the commercial aired. If I had to guess, maybe she has a Greatest Hits coming?

Also, is this Botty? ki

 

[Vazra]

Joanne The Scammer. I think its on the same ball park.

 

[rhandino]

How are our mexican popgafers dealing with the death of "El Divo de Juarez"? Here everyone is doing the absolute most and some co-workers almost chocked when I told them that I did not cared about ha and now they have a music festival with his greatest hits.

I dont care about him or his music but R.I.P.

 

[SilentSoldier]

I liked Rih's island and ballad performances. If she actually tries she can do good things on the stage, but I think that attitude is also why I like her so much. WTF Kanye was talking about again? At least he premiered a fire video whew. Beyonce was good too. The rest, lol

 

[Vazduh]

Dinah and Ally

Just tragic.

I always liked him, I grew up with his music

I have been hearing his music since yesterday

My favs won more VMA's the anyone but Beyonce. When will you?

 

[You Know Nothing]

Knee's Coupure Électrique would actually be a slay and a half if someone who could actually sing and pronounce French words had it.

Also this Google translated mess of a lyric:

Quand tu fais
Fais-moi l'amour
Moi l'amour

That's not how French grammar works, sis. She really couldn't find someone who knows the language to pen these simplistic lyrics? Mess. Other than all that, slay I guess. But it would still be much better with someone else singing.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

You wanna break my heart, alright
I caught your fever, I'll be feeling it forever
You want a brand new start, alright
I caught your fever, I'll be feeling it forever

And my lights stay up, but your city sleeps
It's a different world when you're not here with me
Go on and break my heart tonight
I caught your fever, I'll be feeling it forever


Queen of relatable break up songs

 

[MANUELF]

My favs won more VMA's the anyone but Beyonce. When will you?

My fave already won a VOTY, when will your fop faves?

 

[tali'zorah84]

Tkay Maidza has announced her debut album TKAY (due Oct. 28th) and dropped a banger featuring Killer Mike of Run the Jewels fame.

Get in, girlies.

 

[Vazduh]

Wait, G-Sleazy is not 35 years old? He looks the same age as Britney. Mess.

Also, kii @ this
