Where do I began with the 2011 VMA’s first off with the VMA live tweets I think the VMA’s is coming closer and closer to rivaling the
Grammy’s as the biggest or most popular music award show in America, last night the VMA’s had over a million live tweets with the hashtag #WhatWillGagaWhere and #VMA. But I’ll start with the biggest news from the award show that seemed to over
shine everything, Beyoncè is pregnant y’all! King B made two clear gestures last night one on the VMA black carpet where she relived the shape of her baby bump underneath her red flowing dress. Then again during her performance of “Love on Top” where at the end of the performance she dropped the mic and rubbed her belly.Jay-Z, Kanye and her entire camp seemed to glow with excitement. She stole the show.
Lets move on the big winners of the evening:

I can honestly say the biggest winner of the night was Tyler The Creator’s mom when he won for best new artist that woman caught all types of the holy ghost, I thought she was gonna pass out!
We all Know MTV knows how to put down a tribute and this year there were two very special ones. Britney Spears won the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award presented by Lady Gaga (in full drag), Britney was in tears from the heartfelt speak Lady Gaga gave. They also gave tribute to her with a dance medley from her greatest videos.
Also Jazz Icon Tony Bennett, Comedian and friend Russell Brand, and Singer Bruno Mars came together to give an awesome tribute to the late great Amy Winehouse.
Performances…. wow here are the ones that in my opinion brought down the house.
[Lady Gaga (still in drag) You & I]
[Watch The throne - Otis]
[ Pitbull Feat. Ne-Yo Give Me Everything]
[Chris Brown - Dance Medley (3X/Protect Ya Neck/Teen Spirit/ Beautiful People)]
[Adele - Someone Like You]
[Beyonce - Love On Top]
All and all this years VMA’s was amazing and topped last years by a landslide.
