MTV Video Music Awards: История и эволюция премии

Введение

Американские музыкальные видеопремии (1984 – настоящее время)

Премия MTV Video Music Awards (обычно сокращается как VMAs) — это церемония награждения, вручаемая кабельным каналом MTV в знак признания лучших работ в области музыкальных видео. Изначально задуманная как альтернатива премии «Грэмми» (в категории видео), ежегодная церемония MTV Video Music Awards часто называется «Супербоулом для молодежи», что отражает способность церемонии VMA привлекать миллионы молодых людей в возрасте от подростков до двадцати с лишним лет каждый год. К 2001 году VMA стала престижной наградой. Ежегодная церемония VMA проходит до конца лета, в конце августа или середине сентября, и транслируется в прямом эфире на MTV, а также с 2014 года одновременно на всех каналах, входящих в сеть MTV, что позволяет максимально увеличить телеаудиторию. Первая церемония VMA состоялась в 1984 году в Radio City Music Hall в Нью-Йорке. Церемонии обычно проводятся в Нью-Йорке или Лос-Анджелесе, однако они также проходили в Майами и Лас-Вегасе. В 2019 и 2023 годах MTV Video Music Awards проходили в Ньюарке, штат Нью-Джерси. Статуэтка, вручаемая победителям, представляет собой астронавта на Луне — одно из первых изображений MTV, и в обиходе её называли «луноходом». Однако в 2017 году президент MTV Крис Маккарти заявил, что отныне статуэтку следует называть «Лунным человеком». Статуэтка была разработана компанией Manhattan Design — также создателями оригинального логотипа MTV — на основе анимации «Top of the Hour» 1981 года, созданной Фредом Зайбертом, спродюсированной Аланом Гудманом и Баззом Потамкиным из Buzzco Associates. В настоящее время статуэтки изготавливает нью-йоркская компания Society Awards. С 2006 года зрители могут голосовать за свои любимые видео во всех основных категориях на веб-сайте MTV.

1980-е годы

1984: на первой церемонии вручения MTV Video Music Awards в 1984 году Мадонна исполнила свой хит "Like a Virgin" в корсете, сочетающемся со свадебным платьем, включая ее фирменный ремень "Boy Toy". Во время выступления она каталась по полу, демонстрируя кружевные чулки и подвязку. Синди Лаупер произнесла бессвязную речь, напоминающую язык из фильма "Изгоняющий дьявола", чтобы объяснить правила VMA непосредственно перед победой в номинации "Лучшее женское видео" за "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Дэвид Боуи, The Beatles и режиссер Ричард Лестер были удостоены первой премии Video Vanguard Awards за их вклад в развитие музыкального видео. "You Might Think" группы The Cars выиграла первое "Видео года", опередив "Thriller" Майкла Джексона и "Rockit" Херби Хэнкока. 1987: На церемонии MTV Video Music Awards 1987 года Питер Габриэль получил десять наград, включая Video Vanguard Award и "Видео года" за клип "Sledgehammer", установив рекорд VMA по количеству статуэток Moonman, полученных за одну ночь. 1988: На церемонии MTV Video Music Awards 1988 года Майкл Джексон впервые появился на экране. Было показано предварительно записанное живое выступление "Bad", которое впоследствии было переименовано в его честь. 1989: Комедиант Эндрю Дайс Клей появился на церемонии Video Music Awards 1989 года, чтобы прорекламировать свой новый фильм "Приключения Форда Фэрлейна", и получил "пожизненный запрет" на участие в эфире канала, когда представил Шер, используя некоторые из своих недавно ставших печально известными детских стишков, содержащих вульгарные выражения и намеки. После выступления с Томом Петти гитарист Guns N' Roses Иззи Страдлин подвергся нападению вокалиста Mötley Crüe Винса Нила, что привело к словесной перепалке между Нилом и вокалистом Guns N' Roses Акселем Роузом. Джон Бон Джови и Ричи Самбора исполнили упрощенную акустическую версию хитов Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive" и "Livin' on a Prayer", возможно, вдохновив тем самым создание MTV Unplugged. Паула Абдул была номинирована на шесть наград и выиграла четыре. Она исполнила семиминутный попурри из своих синглов "Straight Up", "Cold Hearted" и "Forever Your Girl". Она также представила одно из самых запоминающихся исполнений своего хита "Express Yourself", как превью к ее будущему Blond Ambition World Tour. 1991: во время церемонии награждения MTV Video Vanguard Award была переименована в Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award в знак признания его вклада в культуру музыкальных видео, изменив их из простого рекламного инструмента с участием музыкантов, играющих на инструментах и поющих, в "короткометражный фильм" с сюжетом. Его видео "Thriller" повлияло на музыкальные клипы и изменило их до нынешнего вида. Конфликт между Бретом Майклсом из Poison и Си Си Девиллем вылился в драку на MTV Video Music Awards 1991 года. Девилл был уволен и заменен гитаристом из Пенсильвании Ричи Коценом. После своего появления Van Halen впервые выступили на телевидении с песней "Poundcake". Metallica также была одним из ярких моментов программы с "Enter Sandman". Принц и The New Power Generation исполнили свою откровенно сексуальную песню "Gett Off" на сцене, оформленной в стиле Калигулы, Принц был одет в желтый сетчатый костюм, который печально обнажил его ягодицы. Его брюки неоднократно пародировались в течение следующего года в In Living Color и даже на VMA следующего года радиоведущим-шокером Говардом Стерном. Это также стало последним телевизионным появлением Kiss с Эриком Карром перед его смертью в ноябре 1991 года. 1992: на шоу 1992 года MTV попросила Nirvana исполнить "Smells Like Teen Spirit", в то время как сама группа выразила предпочтение исполнению новых песен "Rape Me" и "". Руководство канала продолжало настаивать на "Teen Spirit", но в итоге предложило группе выбор: исполнить либо "Teen Spirit", либо "Lithium", что группа, по-видимому, приняла. Во время выступления Nirvana начала играть, а Курт Кобейн сыграл первые аккорды песни "Rape Me", к ужасу руководства MTV, прежде чем продолжить обычное исполнение "Lithium". К концу песни, разочарованный тем, что усилитель перестал работать, басист Крис Новоселич решил подбросить бас в воздух для драматического эффекта. Он неверно оценил траекторию, и бас отскочил от его лба, заставив его пошатываясь покинуть сцену. За кулисами и перед шоу вокалист Guns N' Roses Аксель Роуз вызвал Кобейна на драку после того, как он, его жена, вокалистка Hole Кортни Лав и участники группы Nirvana Крис Новоселич и Дэйв Грол подстрекали его. В конце выступления Nirvana, когда Кобейн уничтожал оборудование группы, Дэйв Грол подбежал к микрофону и несколько раз закричал: "Привет, Аксель! Где Аксель?". Видео Guns N' Roses на балладу "November Rain" получило премию MTV Video Music Award за лучшую операторскую работу. Во время шоу группа исполнила "November Rain" с певцом Элтоном Джоном. Из-за спора Роуза с Кобейном, за мгновения до выступления "November Rain", Кобейн плюнул на клавиши, которые он принял за пианино Акселя. Позже Кобейн признался, что был шокирован, увидев Элтона Джона, играющего на пианино, на которое он плюнул. Во время рекламной паузы был показан рекламный ролик Pepsi с участием Чужого 3. Радиоведущий Говард Стерн появился в образе Fartman, супергероя из его радиошоу, в костюме, откровенно вдохновленном нарядом Принца с прошлого года. Стерн был ведущим, объявляющим победителя в номинации "Лучшее хард-рок/метал-видео", вместе с актером Люком Перри (после того, как несколько других знаменитостей отказались от этой роли). 1993: на церемонии MTV Video Music Awards 1993 года Мадонна открыла шоу, исполнив песню "Bye Bye Baby" в гендерно-неоднозначном стиле, в котором Мадонна и ее две бэк-вокалистки, одетые в смокинги и цилиндры, танцевали с женщинами в корсетах в хореографическом, откровенно сексуальном танце. Недавно обрученная пара Майкл Джексон и Лиза Мари Пресли получили стоячие овации, когда вошли на сцену, держась за руки. Повернувшись к публике и заявив: "И подумайте только, никто не думал, что это продлится", Джексон схватил Пресли и поцеловал ее. 1995: на церемонии MTV Video Music Awards 1995 года Hole исполнила песню "Violet" со своего дебютного альбома на крупном лейбле Live Through This. Это было одно из первых крупных телевизионных выступлений фронтвумен Кортни Лав после смерти ее мужа Курта Кобейна и басистки своей группы Кристен Пфафф в 1994 году. Перед началом песни Лав посвятила выступление своему мужу и другим людям в индустрии развлечений, недавно ушедшим из жизни: "Это для Курта, и Кристен, и Ривера, и Джо, и сегодня Джони Эбботт, это для тебя". Эбботт работала в отделе по работе с талантами на MTV и недавно покончила с собой. Песня закончилась тем, что Лав бросила свою гитару, сбила микрофонную стойку в толпу и опрокинула динамики вместе с коллегой по группе Эриком Эрландсоном, прежде чем покинуть сцену. Лав также вызвала переполох, прервав послецеремониальное интервью с Куртом Лодером и Мадонной, бросив в певицу свои косметические футляры во время трансляции за пределами места проведения церемонии. Майкл Джексон выступал более 15 минут, исполнив попурри из своих главных песен, включая "Scream", и продемонстрировал свои фирменные движения, включая робота, лунную походку и относительно неизвестный "Bankhead Bounce". Слэш аккомпанировал Джексону и играл на гитаре в "Black or White" и начале "Billie Jean". TLC стала главным победителем вечера, выиграв четыре награды, включая "Выбор зрителей", "Лучшее групповое видео" и "Видео года" ("Waterfalls"). 1996: на церемонии MTV Video Music Awards 1996 года четыре оригинальных участника Van Halen получили 20-секундные овации, когда впервые появились на публике вместе после своего распада в 1985 году. Через несколько недель стало известно, что Van Halen не воссоединятся с Ротом. Рот опубликовал заявление с извинениями перед фанатами, заявив, что он был невольным участником рекламного трюка для продажи большего количества копий сборника хитов Best Of Vol. 1, и что его убедили в том, что он снова присоединяется к Van Halen. На следующий день Эдди и Алекс Ван Хален опубликовали заявление,...

1984: at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, Madonna performed her hit "Like a Virgin" wearing a combination bustier/wedding gown, including her trademark "Boy Toy" belt. During the performance, she rolled around on the floor, revealing lace stockings and a garter. Cyndi Lauper spoke in "Exorcist esque gibberish" to explain the VMA rules right before winning the Best Female video for "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". David Bowie, the Beatles and director Richard Lester were rewarded with the first ever Video Vanguard Awards for their work in pioneering the music video. The Cars' "You Might Think" won the very first video of the year, beating out Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Herbie Hancock's "Rockit". 1987: At the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, Peter Gabriel won ten awards, including the Video Vanguard Award and Video of the Year for his video "Sledgehammer", holding the VMA record for most Moonmen in a single night. 1988: At the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards, Michael Jackson appeared for the first time. A pre recorded live performance of Bad was shown." which was later renamed in his honor. 1989: Comedian Andrew Dice Clays appearancd at the 1989 Video Music Awards to promote his new movie, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, earning a "lifetime ban" from the network when he introduced Cher with some of his recently notorious nursery rhymes that contained vulgar language and references. After performing with Tom Petty, Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin was assaulted by Mötley Crüe lead singer Vince Neil, leading to a verbal battle between Neil and Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora turned out a stripped down acoustic performance of the Bon Jovi hits "Wanted Dead or Alive and "Livin' on a Prayer", and in the process possibly provided the inspirational spark for MTV Unplugged. Paula Abdul was nominated for six awards, picking up four wins. She performed a seven minute medley of her singles "Straight Up", "Cold Hearted", and "Forever Your Girl". She also gave one of the most memorable performances of her hit "Express Yourself", as a preview of what would become her Blond Ambition World Tour. 1991: during the award show the MTV Video Vanguard Award was renamed to the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award from then on, in honor of his contributions to the culture of music videos by changing them from a mere promotional tool featuring musicians playing instruments and singing, to a "short film" with a storyline. His video "Thriller" influenced and changed music videos into what it is like today. A conflict between Poison's Bret Michaels and C. C. DeVille culminated in a fistfight at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. DeVille was fired and replaced by Pennsylvanian guitarist Richie Kotzen. After his appearance, Van Halen made their television debut, performing "Poundcake". Metallica was another highlight of the performances with "Enter Sandman". Prince and The New Power Generation performed their sexually charged song "Gett Off" on a Caligula esque set, with Prince dressed in a yellow mesh outfit which infamously exposed his buttocks. His trousers were parodied numerous times throughout the following year, on In Living Color and even at the following year's VMAs by radio shock jock Howard Stern. It also marked the final TV appearance of Kiss with Eric Carr prior to Carr's death in November 1991. 1992: in the 1992 show, MTV requested Nirvana perform "Smells Like Teen Spirit", while the band itself had indicated it preferred to play new songs "Rape Me" and "". Network executives continued to push for "Teen Spirit" but finally offered the band a choice to play either "Teen Spirit" or "Lithium", which the band appeared to accept. At the performance, Nirvana began to play, and Kurt Cobain played the first few chords of the song, "Rape Me", much to the horror of MTV execs, before continuing their regular performance of "Lithium". Near the end of the song, frustrated that his amplifier had stopped functioning, bassist Krist Novoselic decided to toss his bass into the air for dramatic effect. He misjudged the landing, and the bass ended up bouncing off of his forehead, forcing him to stumble off the stage in a daze. Backstage and before the show, Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose challenged Cobain to a fight after he, his wife, Hole lead singer Courtney Love, and Nirvana bandmates Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl egged him on. At the end of Nirvana's performance, while Cobain was trashing the band's equipment, Dave Grohl ran to the microphone and shouted "Hi, Axl! Where's Axl?" repeatedly. Guns N' Roses' video for the ballad "November Rain" won the MTV Video Music Award for best cinematography. During the show, the band performed "November Rain" with singer Elton John. Because of the dispute Rose had with Cobain, moments before the "November Rain" performance, Cobain spat on the keys of what he thought was Axl's piano. Cobain later revealed that he was shocked to see Elton John play on the piano he had spat on. During the commercial break, the Alien 3 Pepsi commercial was shown. Radio host Howard Stern appeared as Fartman, Stern's radio superhero, wearing a buttocks exposing costume obviously inspired by Prince's outfit from the previous year. Stern was a presenter for best hard rock/metal performance with actor Luke Perry (after several other celebrities turned him down). 1993: at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna opened the show in a gender bending performance of her song "Bye Bye Baby", in which Madonna and her two backup singers, dressed in tuxedos and top hats, danced with women in corsets in a choreographed, highly sexual routine. Recently betrothed couple Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley received a standing ovation as they walked on stage hand in hand. After turning to the audience and proclaiming, "And just think, nobody thought this would last", Jackson grabbed Presley and kissed her. 1995: at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards, Hole perform the song "Violet" from their major label debut album Live Through This. This was one of the first major televised performances given by frontwoman Courtney Love following the death of her husband Kurt Cobain and the death of her band's bassist Kristen Pfaff in 1994. Before beginning the song, Love dedicated the performance to her husband and different people in the entertainment industry who had recently died: "This is for Kurt, and Kristen, and River, and Joe, and today Joni Abbott, this is for you." Abbott worked in the Talent Relations department at MTV and had recently committed suicide. The song ended with Love throwing her guitar, knocking the microphone stand into the crowd and pushing over speaker boxes with bandmate Eric Erlandson before exiting the stage. Love also caused a stir when she interrupted a post ceremony interview with Kurt Loder and Madonna by throwing her make up compacts at the singer as they broadcast outside the awards venue. Michael Jackson performed for over 15 minutes to a medley of his main songs, including "Scream", and danced his signature moves, including the robot, moonwalk and the relatively unknown "Bankhead Bounce". While Slash accompanied Jackson and played guitar on "Black or White and the beginning of Billie Jean". TLC was the big winner of the night won four awards, including "Viewer's Choice", "Best Group Video", and "Video of the Year" (Waterfalls). 1996: at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, the four original members of Van Halen received 20 second standing ovation when they made their first public appearance together since their break up in 1985. Several weeks later, the public learned that Van Halen would not reunite with Roth. Roth released a statement apologizing to fans, stating that he was an unwitting participant in a publicity stunt to sell more copies of the greatest hits album, Best Of Vol. 1, and that he had been led to believe that he was rejoining Van Halen. The following day, Eddie and Alex Van Halen released a statement, stating that they had been honest with Roth, and never led him to believe that he had been re hired. During British band Oasis' performance at the show, lead vocalist Liam Gallagher made rude gestures at brother Noel as he was playing his guitar solo, then spat beer all over the stage before storming off. Tupac Shakur made his final public appearance before his murder. 1997: at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, Pat Smear announced that he was leaving Foo Fighters halfway through their performance and presented his replacement, Franz Stahl, who had been a member of the band Scream with Dave Grohl. The Spice Girls, who won the best dance video award to the for their music video "Wannabe", who wore a black strap on their left arms as a sign of grief because of Diana, Princess of Wales's death prior to the event. While accepting the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist Video that year for "Sleep to Dream", Fiona Apple appealed to her audience not to be enamored of celebrity culture. She proclaimed, "this world is bullshit" and quoted Maya Angelou, saying "go with yourself". Though her comments were generally greeted with cheers and applause at the awards ceremony, the media backlash was huge. Some considered her remarks to be hypocritical, however she was unapologetic: "When I have something to say, I'll say it." Shock rocker Marilyn Manson performed the song "The Beautiful People", as the grand finale, and the video for this song was nominated for "Best Rock Video" and "Best Special Effects", marking one of the most significant performances for the band. 1998: at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, during the original broadcast of the show, a commercial faded in the Nine Inch Nails NIN logo on a black screen while playing a combination of music that started as a solo piano piece and morphed into an electronic/industrial beat (which would later found out to be the songs "La Mer" and "Into the Void", which share many melodic components and can be considered variations on a theme) and ended with Trent Reznor screaming "Tried to save myself, but myself kept slipping away" and the word "ninetynine" in the trademark NIN reversed N font. This was only shown once during the original broadcast, was edited out of all repeats. Geri Halliwell attended the event, one of her first public appearances since she left the Spice Girls. At the red carpet, actress Rose McGowan was wearing a see through dress, no bra, and a thong, while Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston poked fun at their rumored rift by wearing lookalike chocolate brown dresses by Vera Wang. In an attempt to outdo each other, the singers tore off pieces of their dresses to reveal minidresses then staged a faux catfight that left the audience in disbelief. "People thought Whitney and I had some kind of beef", explained Carey. 1999: Lil' Kim showed up at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards with an entire breast exposed and only a small paisty over the nipple. Kim's outfit became even more controversial later when she appeared on stage with former Supremes member Diana Ross and Mary J. Blige to present the Best Hip Hop Video award, and Ross reached over, cupped her hand under Kim's exposed breast and jiggled it while Kim laughed. Afeni Shakur and Voletta Wallace, the mothers of the recently deceased Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B. I. G., met for the first time at the ceremony. TLC won Best Group Video for "No Scrubs", receiving a standing ovation from the audience and artists. For the second year in a row, the Backstreet Boys took the Viewer's Choice Award for "I Want It That Way", a song they performed during the broadcast. Before presenting the final award, a group of drag queens paid tribute to Madonna wearing her most iconic outfits with a medley of her hit songs. Madonna herself then appeared onstage and remarked, "All I have to say is that it takes a real man to fill my shoes." She then introduced Paul McCartney, who presented the Video of the Year to "some guy called Laurence Hill" (Lauryn Hill).

2000-е годы

2000: на церемонии Video Music Awards 2000 года Limp Bizkit выиграли награду за лучшее рок-видео. Во время выступления вокалиста Фреда Дёрста, басист Rage Against the Machine Тим Коммерфорд забрался на строительные леса. Дёрст подстрекал Коммерфорда, крича: "Ндайв, чувак!" и "Прыгай!", а в конце своей речи добавил: "и [Коммерфорд] – трус, потому что не прыгает". Коммерфорда и его охранника приговорили к ночи в тюрьме. Вокалист RATM Зак де ла Роша, по сообщениям, покинул церемонию после выходки Коммерфорда. Гитарист RATM Том Морелло вспоминал, что Коммерфорд поделился своим планом с остальными участниками группы перед шоу, и что де ла Роша и Морелло сразу после вручения награды Bizkit отговорили его от этого. Эминем исполнил два своих сингла – "The Real Slim Shady" и "The Way I Am". Выступление началось с "The Real Slim Shady", стартовавшего за пределами Radio City Music Hall на 6-й авеню, Манхэттен. Эминем продолжил выступление на арене, за ним последовали сотни "клонов" Эминема в белых майках, мешковатых джинсах и с выбеленными волосами. Соучредитель Napster Шон Фэннинг представил Бритни Спирс. Фэннинг был одет в футболку Metallica, что вызвало недовольство барабанщика Metallica и противника Napster Ларса Ульриха. Бритни исполнила "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" и свой новый хит "Oops!…Я сделала это снова", привлекший внимание СМИ в основном из-за того, что Спирс сорвала смокинг, обнажив одежду телесного цвета. В конце выступления со-ведущий VMA Марлон Уэйанс провозгласил: "Девушка прошла путь от "Клуба Микки Мауса" до стриптиз-клуба". В конце выступления Кристины Агилеры Дёрст вышел на сцену и исполнил часть песни своей группы "Livin' It Up" вместе с Агилерой. После вызванной у поклонников неоднозначной реакции Дёрст заявил: "Я уже говорил вам, ребята, я сделал это ради секса, чувак". Вражда утихла через несколько недель. Агилера опровергла заявление Дёрста, сказав, что у него "не было секса". Агилера и Спирс развеяли слухи о соперничестве, выйдя на сцену, держась за руки, и представив Уитни Хьюстон. Хьюстон, которая в то время была объектом пристального внимания СМИ из-за непредсказуемого поведения, отмененных выступлений, слухов об употреблении наркотиков и ареста за хранение марихуаны в аэропорту Гавайев всего за несколько месяцев до этого, вышла под овации и представила награду Эминему вместе с мужем Бобби Брауном, недавно освобожденным из тюрьмы. Хьюстон продемонстрировала еще более непредсказуемое поведение, прыгая вверх и вниз и выкрикивая "свобода!" в связи с недавним освобождением Брауна. Алия выиграла две премии MTV Video Music Awards за лучшее женское видео и лучшее видео из фильма за "Try Again". 2001: на церемонии Video Music Awards 2001 года Бритни Спирс исполнила свой сингл "I'm a Slave 4 U". Выступление, в котором певица танцевала в очень откровенном наряде, включало в себя клетку с тигром и танец с настоящей альбиносной змеей на плечах. Использование тигра и змеи в выступлении вызвало резкую критику со стороны PETA. U2 должны были исполнить попурри из песен "Elevation", "Beautiful Day" и "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of". Платформа, на которой они выступали, обесточилась, и MTV пришлось показать несколько минут рекламных роликов, пока все не было настроено заново. Электричество отключилось снова, и в итоге группа была опущена на землю и выступила без платформы. После выступления вокалист Боно объяснил, что MTV "забыл заплатить за электричество". 2002: в 2002 году VMA проходили в день рождения Майкла Джексона, и в знак уважения Бритни Спирс представила его, сказав, что она "считает его артистом тысячелетия". Джексон сказал: "Когда я был маленьким мальчиком, растущим в Индиане, если бы мне сказали, что я получу награду "артист тысячелетия", я бы никогда в это не поверил". Год спустя, на церемонии VMA 2003, это было спародировано ведущими Фредом Дёрстом и Джеком Блэком, Дёрст заявил, что Блэк – "самый смешной человек на свете". The Hives и The Vines выступили в эту ночь после внезапного возрождения гаражного рока в течение года, и распространились слухи, что это будет "битва групп". Как только The Hives закончили выступление, вокалист Хаулин Пелле Альмквист сказал толпе: "Я знаю, что вы хотите, чтобы мы играли больше, но это все, что у нас есть, так что можете выключить [телевизоры] сейчас", прямо перед тем, как The Vines вышли на большую сцену, чтобы исполнить свой хит "Get Free", в конечном итоге уничтожив свое оборудование после выступления. Триумф, оскорбительный комик-собака, появился и столкнулся с Эминемом. У Эминема произошла конфронтация с Моби, который назвал музыку рэпера женоненавистнической и гомофобной. В этот момент из зала раздалось множество неодобрительных возгласов. Награду за лучшее мужское видео вручили Эминему сразу после конфронтации с Триумфом и Моби, и когда Эминем поднялся на сцену, чтобы получить награду, в середине своей речи он вызвал Моби на бой, если тот продолжит его освистывать. Джастин Тимберлейк дебютировал с сольным выступлением, исполнив свой сингл "Like I Love You". Тионне "T-Boz" Уоткинс и Розoнда "Чили" Томас, выжившие участницы самой продаваемой R&B-группы TLC, впервые появились на телевидении после смерти участницы Лизы "Лефт Ай" Лопес. Канадская исполнительница Аврил Лавин выиграла свою первую награду как лучший новый исполнитель в видео, установив рекорд самой молодой артистки, получившей эту награду в возрасте 17 лет. Она открыла VMA 2002 пре-шоу с исполнением "Complicated" / "Sk8er Boi", а вместе с Лизой Мари Пресли вручила награду за лучшее женское видео Пинк, которая была под воздействием алкоголя во время своей благодарственной речи. 2003: на церемонии Video Music Awards 2003 года Мадонна сыграла невесту, целующую своих невест – Бритни Спирс и Кристину Агилеру. Гендерный переворот и лесбийская тематика мгновенно попали на первые полосы газет. Три певицы исполнили попурри из ее классического хита "Like a Virgin" и ее последнего на тот момент релиза "Hollywood", с гостевым рэпом от Мисси Эллиотт. Быстрая нарезка реакции Джастина Тимберлейка, который встречался со Спирс до 2002 года, также привлекла внимание СМИ. Декорации напоминали выступление Мадонны с песней "Like a Virgin" на VMA 1984 года: тот же свадебный торт, свадебные платья и пояс "Boy Toy", которые Мадонна носила 19 лет назад, теперь были надеты на Агилеру и Спирс. Бейонсе открыла свое выступление, спустившись вниз головой с потолка Radio City Music Hall. Ноулз исполнила "Baby Boy", плавно спускаясь на сцену в шароварах. Позже к ней присоединился Jay-Z, и они вместе исполнили свой дуэт "Crazy in Love". Это выступление ознаменовало сольный дебют Ноулз. 2004: MTV Video Music Awards 2004 года проходили в American Airlines Arena в Майами, штат Флорида. Это было первое, когда церемония награждения проходила за пределами Нью-Йорка и Лос-Анджелеса. Это была первая церемония вручения музыкальных видеопремий, на которой не было ведущего. 2005: на шоу 2005 года Green Day вернулись, получив награды за лучшее рок-видео, лучшее групповое видео и "лунный человек" за видео года за "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", которую они исполнили во время трансляции. Они также получили награду Viewer's Choice за "American Idiot". VMA 2005 стали первыми, на которых прозвучало выступление на испанском языке, когда Шакира исполнила свой сингл "La Tortura" вместе с Алехандро Сансом. Впервые на церемонии были номинированы видео на испанском языке. Артисты реггетона Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón и Don Omar выступили. Актриса Ева Лонгория вызвала переполох, появившись почти обнаженной, чтобы представить Mariah Carey. Гвен Стефани и Snoop Dogg были признаны лучшей одетой женщиной и мужчиной и получили призы для пожертвования на благотворительность по своему выбору. Келли Кларксон исполнила энергичную версию своей песни "Since U Been Gone" босиком, в топе с графическим рисунком и капри. Кларксон двигалась по толпе во время выступления, которое завершилось тем, что певицу облили водой. К концу песни она и часть аудитории промокли до нитки. R. Kelly исполнил свою рэп-оперу "Trappe...

2000: at the 2000 Video Music Awards, Limp Bizkit won the award for Best Rock Video. As vocalist Fred Durst spoke, Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford climbed onto the scaffolding of the set. Durst egged Commerford on, saying "Stage dive, dude" and "Take a dive", finally ending his speech with "and [Commerford]'s a pussy 'cause he won't jump". Commerford and his bodyguard were sentenced to a night in jail. RATM vocalist Zack de la Rocha reportedly left the awards after Commerford's stunt. RATM guitarist Tom Morello recalled that Commerford related his plan to the rest of the band before the show, and that both de la Rocha and Morello advised him against it immediately after Bizkit was presented the award. Eminem performed his two singles "The Real Slim Shady" and "The Way I Am". The performance began with Eminem's single "The Real Slim Shady" which started outside the Radio City Music Hall on 6th Avenue, Manhattan. Eminem continued his performance into the arena and was followed by a hundred Eminem 'clones' wearing white tank tops and baggy jeans with bleached blonde hair. Napster co founder Shawn Fanning co introduced Britney Spears. Fanning wore a Metallica T shirt, much to the displeasure of Metallica drummer and anti Napster advocate Lars Ulrich. Britney performed "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and her newest smash hit "Oops! I Did It Again", which gained media attention mostly due to Spears's ripping off a tuxedo to reveal nude colored performance attire. At performance's end, VMA co host Marlon Wayans proclaimed, "Girl done went from 'The Mickey Mouse Club' to the strip club." At the end of Christina Aguilera's performance, Durst walked onstage and performed part of his band's song "Livin' It Up" with Aguilera. After eliciting charged reactions from his fans, Durst stated: "I already told you guys before, I did it all for the nookie, man." The feud died weeks later. Aguilera denied Durst's statement, saying Durst "got no nookie". Aguilera and Spears disproved rumors of a rivalry when they came onstage, holding hands, and introduced Whitney Houston. Houston, who had been targeted by the media for erratic behavior, canceled appearances, drug use rumors and being busted for carrying marijuana at a Hawaii airport just a few months prior, came out to a standing ovation and introduced an award to Eminem with husband Bobby Brown, who was recently let out from jail. Houston revealed more erratic behavior, jumping up and down saying "free" in reference to Brown's recent jail release. Aaliyah would win two MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video and Best Video from a Film for "Try Again". 2001: at the 2001 Video Music Awards, Britney Spears performed her single, "I'm a Slave 4 U". while dancing in a very revealing outfit, the performance featured the singer in a cage with a tiger and briefly dancing with a real albino snake on her shoulders. The inclusion of a tiger and a snake in the performance bought a great deal of criticism from PETA. U2 had been set to perform a medley including "Elevation", "Beautiful Day" and "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of". The riser they were performing on lost power and MTV had to cut to several minutes of promos while everything was set up again. They lost power again and finally the band was lowered to the ground and performed without the riser. After the performance, lead singer Bono explained that MTV "forgot to pay the electricity bill". 2002: in 2002, the VMAs took place on Michael Jackson's birthday, and as a tribute, Britney Spears introduced him saying she "considered him the artist of the millennium". Jackson said, "When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me I'd be getting 'the artist of the millennium award,' I'd have never believed it." A year later, at the 2003 VMAs, this was parodied by presenters Fred Durst and Jack Black, with Durst stating that Black was the "funniest man alive". The Hives and The Vines both performed on the night after the sudden garage rock revival during the year, with rumors spreading around that it was to be 'battle of the bands' performance. Once The Hives performed, singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist said to the crowd "I know you want us to play more, but that's all the time we have for so you can turn off [your TV] now", just before The Vines came on the bigger stage to perform their hit single "Get Free", ultimately destroying their set after their performance. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog appeared and had a confrontation with Eminem. Eminem had a confrontation with Moby, who had called the rapper's music misogynistic and homophobic. By that time, there were multiple boos from the crowd. The Best Male Video award was given to Eminem right after the confrontation with Triumph and Moby, and when Eminem went to stage to pick up the award, in the middle of his speech, he challenged Moby to fight if he continued to boo him. Justin Timberlake made his solo performance debut on the show, performing his single "Like I Love You". Tionne "T Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the surviving members of the top selling R&B trio TLC, made their first television appearance since the death of bandmate Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. Canadian artist Avril Lavigne won her first award ever as Best New Artist in a Video, getting the record for the youngest artist so far to win this award at the age of 17. She kicked off the 2002 VMAs with a "Complicated" / "Sk8er Boi" pre show performance and together Lisa Marie Presley they gave the award for Best Female Video to Pink who was under the effects of alcohol during her acceptance speech. 2003: at the 2003 Video Music Awards, Madonna played a groom kissing her brides, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, on stage. The gender role reversal and lesbian theme instantly made front page headlines. The three singers performed a medley of her classic hit, "Like a Virgin", and her then latest release, "Hollywood", with a guest rap by Missy Elliott. A quick camera cut to the reaction of Justin Timberlake, who dated Spears until 2002, also gained media attention. The design resembled Madonna's performance of "Like a Virgin" at the 1984 VMAs: the same wedding cake set, wedding dresses and "Boy Toy" belt worn by Madonna in 19 years now adorned Aguilera and Spears. Beyoncé opened her performance by descending upside down from the rafters at Radio City Music Hall. Knowles performed "Baby Boy" as she was gently lowered to the stage, dressed in harem pants. She was later joined by Jay Z as they performed their duet "Crazy in Love". The performance marked Knowles' solo debut. 2004: the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards were held at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. This was the first time the awards show was held outside of New York City and Los Angeles. It was the first video music awards to not have a host. 2005: at the 2005 show, Green Day returned, taking home the Best Rock Video, Best Group Video, and Video of the Year Moonmen for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", which they performed during the broadcast. They also took the Viewer's Choice award for "American Idiot". The 2005 VMAs were the first to have a performance in Spanish, when Shakira performed her single "La Tortura" with Alejandro Sanz. It was also the first time that Spanish language videos were nominated at the awards. Reggaeton artists Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón and Don Omar performed. Actress Eva Longoria caused a stir when she appeared barely dressed to introduce Mariah Carey. Gwen Stefani and Snoop Dogg won best dressed female and male and received prizes to donate to a charity of their choice. Kelly Clarkson performed a high energy version of her song "Since U Been Gone" barefoot wearing a graphic belly top and capri pants. Clarkson moved through the crowd during the performance, which culminated in the singer getting sprayed with water. By the end of the song, she and a portion of the audience were soaking wet. R. Kelly performed his rap opera, "Trapped in the Closet". Rather belatedly, the TV show returned to MTV in 2011. 2006: Justin Timberlake opened the 2006 Video Music Awards performing his singles "My Love" and "SexyBack". The awards were distributed evenly widespread all genres, as hip hop, pop and rock artists alike all won Moonmen. 2006 was also the first time that viewers voted for all the performer's categories (Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Group Video, among others, except professional categories). The performance was called "career crippling". Kid Rock and Tommy Lee were involved in an altercation during Alicia Keys's performance. Lee was sitting with magician Criss Angel when the two went to visit Diddy, who was sitting close to Kid Rock. Kid Rock allegedly punched Tommy Lee in the face. The two were broken up, and both were escorted from the resort. Angel was removed a short time later. 2008: the 2008 Video Music Awards were opened by Britney Spears which welcomed everybody to the 25 year anniversary of the Video Music Awards. Barbadian singer Rihanna opened the show with her song "Disturbia" in a very revealing black leather outfit. After 16 nominations, Britney Spears finally won her first VMA, taking Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me", considered as Spears' comeback. Host Russell Brand commented on Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, begging the audience to vote for him. Brand called President George W. Bush a "retarded cowboy" and claimed Bush "wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors in Britain". Russell Brand also made comments on the Jonas Brothers for wearing purity rings. Brand later faced criticism for his swipes at the trio. He confirmed his apology at the MTV Video Music Awards 2009 by saying "I upset the Jonas Brothers last year, I had to say sorry to them and they forgave me. They had to, they're Christians." During her introduction of T. I. and Rihanna's performance, Jordin Sparks, who also wears a purity ring, defended the boy band by saying "It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut." Sparks was in turn criticized for implying that those who do not wear purity rings or do not abstain are promiscuous. 2009: at the 2009 Video Music Awards, singer songwriter Taylor Swift won Best Female video for "You Belong with Me". During her acceptance speech, rapper Kanye West unexpectedly showed up on stage. Taking the microphone from Swift, he announced "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!". MTV cut away from the stage (showing Beyoncé with a shocked and disapproved look) after West gave the microphone back to Swift and giving the middle finger to the audience as they started booing him off stage, and so Swift did not finish her speech. West was removed for the rest of the show. However, when Beyoncé won Video of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", she called Swift back on stage to "have her moment" (finishing her speech from winning Best Female Video). In an off the record portion of an interview the following day, President Barack Obama called West a "jackass" for his antics. During a post interview, Jay Z admitted West was wrong to go on stage, but he thought people were overreacting to the incident. Madonna opened the show talking about her experiences with Michael Jackson. After her speech, a Michael Jackson tribute commenced, including Janet Jackson performing the duet "Scream". The show closed with a sneak preview of Michael Jackson's This Is It movie. At the show's red carpet, Colombian singer Shakira and American singer Pink attended with the same dress. Both singers took it humorously and posed together for the paparazzi. Lady Gaga later performed her song "Paparazzi" and shocked the audience when she appeared to bleed out on stage. It was actually a contraption in her outfit. Beyoncé performed her song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" with over two dozen female dancers dancing with her. Lil Mama later apologized. During an interview with New York Radio DJ Angie Martinez, Jay Z said that he thought the unrehearsed move was something similar to the West and Swift incident. Eminem, who performed at the show, did not receive his awards in person, as he had to leave immediately to perform with Jay Z at The Home & Home Tour in New York City the next day. Additionally, will. i. am's "blackface" outfit sparked controversy among African Americans. Florence + the Machine performed "Dog Days Are Over". Lady Gaga won eight awards, including Video of the Year, Best Female Video, and Best Pop Video for "Bad Romance"; she also won Best Collaboration for "Telephone" with Beyoncé. Upon accepting her Video of the Year award, Gaga wore a dress made entirely of raw meat, which drew criticism from PETA. While accepting her Video of the Year award, Lady Gaga announced the title of her next album, Born This Way, and sang the chorus of its title track and lead single. Justin Bieber won Best New Artist, making him the second youngest Canada born artist to ever win a VMA (first being Avril Lavigne in 2002). Overall, the show grabbed 11.4 million viewers—the largest audience for an MTV Video Music Awards since 2002, and until 2011's new record. 2011: the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards returned to the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. In the entire history of the show, this was the third time no host was scheduled, although Kevin Hart, who would receive the position a year later, delivered an opening monologue. Lady Gaga opened the show dressed as her alter ego Joe Calderone, delivering a monologue and then performing her single "You and I" from her album Born This Way. She was joined on stage by Queen band member and guitarist Brian May. The tribute to Britney Spears included performances by young talents, who danced to various hit singles by Spears including " Baby One More Time" and "Till the World Ends". After the tribute, Lady Gaga went onstage to present Spears the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. While accepting her award she and Gaga (dressed as her alter ego Joe Calderone) teased a kiss. Spears rejected the exchange saying, "I've done that already", referring to her liplock with Madonna at the 2003 show. During Kanye West and Jay Z's surprise performance of "Otis", a man attempted to rush the stage but was quickly taken off by security. Katy Perry and Kanye West won the Award for Best Video for a Collaborative Single. As they went onstage to receive the award, Perry made a reference to West's incident with Taylor Swift two years back. This was the first award Perry won in four years of being nominated. Prior to her performance, Beyoncé announced on the red carpet that she and husband/rapper Jay Z were expecting a child. Straight after Beyoncé finished performing her song "Love on Top", she also revealed again that she was pregnant by showing off her baby bump and rubbing it. That evening, Beyoncé set the record for the most mentions on Twitter per second (with 8,868) and helped this year's VMAs become the most watched broadcast in MTV history, pulling in 12.4 million viewers. A tribute to late singer Amy Winehouse also took place; Russell Brand delivered a monologue on his thoughts on her, after which Tony Bennett previewed his collaboration with her for his album Duets II. Afterwards, Bruno Mars performed "Valerie" in her honor. Katy Perry won three awards including Video of the Year for "Firework", and Lady Gaga won two awards, including the new category Best Video With a Message for "Born This Way". 2012: The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards aired live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on September 6, 2012.

Rihanna won the Video of the Year Award for "We Found Love". 2013: For the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, MTV redesigned its moonman statue for one year only due to the ceremony's being held in Brooklyn for the first time. Brooklyn based artist KAWS used Michelin Man as inspiration to redesign the image of the renowned MTV moonman. Barclays Center, which served as the venue for the 2013 show, was decorated also by KAWS, themed around the redesigned moonman. The 2013 VMAs also marked the fourth time in the award show's history that a host had not been appointed for the annual event. Lady Gaga opened the ceremony, performing her single "Applause". During the performance, Gaga changed three times on stage and gave a tribute to her past eras (The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born This Way). At the end, Gaga came on stage wearing nothing but a seashell bikini. Miley Cyrus' performance of her song "We Can't Stop" featured the former Disney star entering the stage through a giant teddy bear wearing a one piece bodice with a teddy bear design on it. The singer performed with a group of female backup dancers dressed as giant bears before singer Robin Thicke joins with Cyrus on stage to perform his single "Blurred Lines". Cyrus then stripped down to a nude colored lingerie and proceeded to perform her signature twerking dance moves, simulating sex with Thicke and grabbing his crotch with a giant foam finger. The unimpressed reactions of several celebrity audience members, including Rihanna and members of One Direction, also gained attention in the media. Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" won Video of the Year, making him the first male solo artist to win this category since Eminem in 2002 with "Without Me". Timberlake also became the second artist to be honored with the Video Vanguard Award and win Video of the Year in the same night, after Peter Gabriel did it in 1987. To celebrate his Video Vanguard Award, Timberlake performed a 15 minute medley performance, which included a mini reunion with his former band *NSYNC.

Beyoncé closed the show by performing a 16 minute medley of songs from her self titled fifth studio album. After the performance, her husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy presented the Video Vanguard Award to her. 2015: the 2015 show was hosted by Miley Cyrus.

Nicki Minaj ended her acceptance speech for Best Hip Hop Video by passing the show back to Cyrus, saying: "And now, back to this bitch who had a lot to say about me the other day in the press: Miley, What's good?". Minaj was referring to Cyrus' comments about how she handled "Anaconda" being snubbed for a Video of the Year nomination. Cyrus appeared stunned by Minaj's remarks and replied, "We're all in this industry. We all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate shit. Nicki, congratu fuckin lations." 2016: the 2016 show was held at the Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Rihanna performed four times during the show, including opening and closing the ceremony. After her final performance, Rihanna was presented the Video Vanguard Award by Drake, who declared, "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old." While accepting her award, Drake leaned in for a kiss that Rihanna dodged. Britney Spears returned to perform at the VMAs for the first time since her heavily criticized performance at the 2007 show.

Logic performed his song "1 800 273 8255" along with Alessia Cara and Khalid. Their stage was outlined with survivors of suicide loss and attempts, who wore T shirts that had the phone number on the front and the phrase "You Are Not Alone" written on the back. During their performance, Logic gave a speech about thanking the audience for giving him a platform to talk about the issues "that mainstream media doesn't want to talk about: mental health, anxiety, suicide, depression". He further added, "I don't give a damn if you're black, white, or any color in between. I don't care if you're Christian, you're Muslim, you're gay, you're straight – I am here to fight for your equality, because I believe that we are all born equal, but we are not treated equally and that is why we must fight." While receiving one of her awards, Cardi B stated, "all the love it's genuine, it's beautiful, and that's something that God give me that you can't buy. B tch." Camila Cabello won Video of the Year for "Havana" and Jennifer Lopez received the Vanguard Award. With Maluma among the performers as well, it marked the VMAs with the most Latin music artists present at the ceremony since the 2005 show. Before introducing Cabello's category, Madonna gave a tribute to the late Aretha Franklin. Most of the speech said the early origins of Madonna's career and was only tangentially Franklin related, which made critics describe the "bizarre" tribute as a "lengthy" anecdote about herself that involved Franklin's music. Afterwards, Madonna explained that she was there to give the Video of the Year award as asked by MTV and to speak about some experience in her career with some connection with Aretha, not to make any kind of tribute. The viewership of the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards was down 9% overall and 15% in the important 18 to 49 year old demographic group.

Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello performed their hit single "Señorita" for the first time ever in a performance characterized for its kissing tension.

There were three co hosts in the show, LL Cool J, Minaj, and Jack Harlow. Harlow opened the show with a performance of his single, "First Class". The performance took place on an airplane with Harlow acting as an attendant. Several celebrities were seated in the plane including Lil Nas X, Saucy Santana, Avril Lavigne, and more. The plane "landed" at the award show and mocked a red carpet interview, with Harlow saying "Ladies and Gentlemen, Fergie!". Fergie had come out onstage to perform her 2007 hit "Glamorous" which "First Class" samples, marking her first televised performance since her controversial performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" at the 2018 NBA All Star Game. The performance ended with Fergie and Harlow hugging. Anitta becomes the first Brazilian artist to win the MTV Video Music Awards. 2023: 'N Sync reunited for the first time in 10 years at the ceremony, to present the award for Best Pop, which was to Taylor Swift's "Anti Hero". Swift acknowledged that she still has the 'N Sync dolls, referencing the "It's Gonna Be Me" music video, and they gave her friendship bracelets. Shakira was awarded with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, performing a medley of her hits. She became the first South American born artist to receive the award. Later, Shakira and Karol G won the Best Collaboration award, for "TQG", making the first time a Spanish language video and a Latin female collaboration won the award. Taylor Swift won Video Of The Year for a consecutive year for "Anti Hero" making her the artist with the most wins (four) in this category.

Прием

MTV Video Music Awards с момента своего основания описывались как значимое событие в индустрии популярной музыки. Однако некоторые издания, такие как The Washington Post и HuffPost, полагали, что к 2019 году престиж церемонии снизился. HuffPost называл причины, такие как отсутствие интереса (падение посещаемости и телеаудитории: в 2019 году рейтинги достигли исторического минимума третий год подряд), недостаток музыкального разнообразия, нехватка звезд, потеря доверия.

Рейтинги

Рейтинги недоступны до 1994 года, поскольку MTV не пользовалась услугами рейтингов программ Nielsen Media Research до 1994 года. Поле "Общая аудитория" показывает совокупную аудиторию прямых трансляций церемонии на различных каналах ViacomCBS.
