The strongest statement came from the queen: Beyoncé went with her daughter Blue Ivy and four mothers of recently killed African American men on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The names of her sons Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant and Trayvon Martin have become in the US become metaphors for the police violence against blacks. Beyoncé has moved lately repeatedly against racism and for Black Lives Matter campaign position. Approximately in their video for the song “Formation”, which was filmed in New Orleans and contains numerous references to the Hurricane Katrina disaster and a “Stop shooting us” graffiti.
Beyoncé was also the great winner of the night. entered the race as a favorite with eleven nominations, it could take eight trophies home with them, including the top prize for the best video of the year, which was awarded to her for the “formation” video. She sat down by against strong competition from Adele ( “Hello”), Justin Bieber ( “Sorry”), Kanye West ( “Famous”) and Drake ( “Hotline Bling”). “I dedicate this award to the people of New Orleans. May God protect you, guys, “Beyoncé said in thanks.
In her performance with four pieces from the Visual album published in April” Lemonade “Beyoncé built also references to a second topic one that you already longer at heart: the strengthening of and solidarity with women. Was it in 2014 occurred at the MTV Awards in front of a glowing “feminist” writing, she formed this time together with their dancers a Venus mirror, the woman symbol.
Rihanna got an honorary award
This was cool and poised, regal flat. Only wearing mink coats should reconsider the 34-year-old again. The other pop divas of the evening could not quite keep up with Beyoncé, although Rihanna also made a good impression. They opened the evening – all in pink – with a medley of four songs. Still three more times came Rihanna, who had published at the beginning of the year their impressive album “Anti”, back to the stage. Each time with a new look and other jewelry (including a chain with the Prince symbol). She herself was nominated twice, but could not prevail. Only as a guest singer Calvin Harris, in the category “Best Male Video” won with “This Is What You Came For”, she stood on the podium.
that Rihanna still was the most present artist of the evening, was that she was honored with the “Michael Jackson video Vanguard Award”, a prize. He was handed over to her. Drake, who won the award for best hip-hop video with “Hotline Bling” In his speech, the Canadian singer and rapper spoke so lovingly of his ex-girlfriend, as if they had never been apart, “She is someone in whom I am in love since I was 22,” he said and kissed her on the Mouth. The two – he in a suit and tie, she in champagne colored ball gown -. Looked for a second like a wedding couple, could not maintain the 28-year-old singer from Barbados this chunky trophy in hand
The importance of since 1984 conferred MTV video Music Awards is less in the prices even than in the visited by many celebrities show that for one or the other scandals was always good: Kurt Cobain spits on Elton John’s piano, Madonna kissing Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, Kanye West Taylor Swift snatches the microphone, Miley Cyrus twerkt around in front of Robin Thicke. Such the current issue had not to offer.
Even Kanye West’s appearance was rather confused and embarrassed as a real Aufreger. Dressed all in white, he came to the sounds of his song “Famous” on the stage, of course, it had the line “I feel like me and Taylor might quietly have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn) / I made that bitch famous “be with” bitch was shortened “to an adult” B “. Then the rapper held a six-minute round, slightly erratic speech about fame, role models ( “Truman, Ford, Hughes, Disney, Jobs, West”) and force of arms. In the audience his wife Kim Kardashian grinned to persevering – as West his ex-girlfriend, model Amber Rose, welcomed the development in public
Kardashian also had the honor of Britney Spears to say. The former Disney star was heavily criticized for his somewhat shaky appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2007, a drug and incapacitation chaos followed. Now the 34-year-old has just released a new album called “Glory” and attempts at its circa fourth comeback. But just as the embossed of middling dance-pop confection goods plate could not really convince her appearance in New York. The singer appeared in knee-high boots and yellow glitters just such a body to “… Make Me” present their song. Initially accompanied only by a sexy shadow theater, came from the center added the rapper G-Eazy, who looked quite greasy Studded leather jacket and Gelfrisur. Sometime knelt Spears behind him and grabbed him by the legs to the navel. What was perhaps intended as Miley-Cyrus-quote, just seemed like a stupid choreography blunder. And the scandals it was enough not already. New attempt next year.
