The MTV Video Music Awards Are Sunday Night – Performers, Presenters + Nominees

To me MTV is dead except for one night of the year and that night is Sunday night! It’s the MTV Video Music Awards or MTV VMAs. Almost every year there is a moment where something goes awry. Whether it is scripted or its ego possibly mixed with alcohol. Either way the show is worth watching.

There is big buzz that N*SYNC will reunite. Or as it looks now in 2013, Justin Timberlake and the News. If it is true it will make for a good conversation at the water cooler. Justin Timberlake is also set to get the Vanguard award.

Lady Gaga will open the show performing her new song, “Applause” what do you think she’ll wear and how do you think she’ll act? Katy Perry, Robin Thicke, Macklemore, Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus are set to hit the stage and perform as well. The list of presenters at the MTV VMAs include, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Emeli Sande. If I were a betting man which I’m not, I’d say it will be a huge night for Justin Timberlake
