Britney was set to win "Best Female Video" and "Video of The Year" at the VMAS 2004?

But why, MTV has paid Britney dust even though she has kept their whole channel relevant for long and would rather kiss Beyonce's ***

I was joking. 

We all know that MTV is a ******* flop now, but back then it was a huge deal.

All those awards shows are fake anyway.

They give awards to the artist actually showing up to their **** shows.

 

 

Except when they do give awards to people that don't show up

 

I think they just have a different agenda every year

Also, I wanna add how Toxic was robbed from the annual countdown of MTV Latin America. At the end of the year they used to have a Top 100, and Toxic didn't appear at any position, despite being one of the most popular videos throughout the year (same with Overprotected in 2002)

Yea honestly doesnt make sense... if it was a peoples choice thing britney wouldve won bc her music videos on trl were alwaysss #1. She would get the most viewer votes with people voting online. So itd only make sense if she won at the vmas too if the people were voting. 
 

some bullshiiiiit

Ugh can you imagine the slayage if she had performed.

I think the VMAs (and maybe other "cable" award shows I general) have less to do with awards for quality and more to do with PR, exchanges, and promo. 

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Britney break her knee that sunmer? Could she have performed, anyway? Even so, I think maybe there were talks about her appearance, but she was probably just done. Remember, it was about 2 months before she got married to Kevin and the tour was had been cancelled months before. . There was nothing to promote. The album was close to year old, the tour had been cancelled. She wasn't "working" at the time. Honestly, there wasn't a reason for her to be there, except as an "honor" (similar to 02). 

On a side note, does anyone remember the rumor that Britney and Kevin would be married on the VMA stage?? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere and actually anticipating it while I was watching the show

Idk how true this is but ARGHH. I feel like some award shows only seem to give awards to those who bother to show up. Doesn't mean they're more deserving of the award though...

Who won VOTY/BFV that year? It was Beyonce wasn't it?

Wasn’t she supposed to perform that year too?

There was rumours she was going to perform a medley of Boom Boom/Outrageous but this never happened when she injured her knee.

There's also that poster but some have said it's fake.

She did. Outrageous accident happened sometime in June. VMA season is always August or September.

And I didn't touch on this earlier because I didn't expect replies about attendance to be this plenty. No. Not every award show is like that and certainly not peak VMAs. Peak VMAs isn't like that. While it's true that it is political but it was certainly not just about attendance. Not back then. They have awarded artists in the past who didn't attend and they send a thank-you video. The attendance thing only became a big thing with award shows last decade (2010s) because there is a decline in annual ratings. Also, the VMAs only became fan voted in 2006. So there is politics before (and still is now) but isn't just about who attends gets an award.

just this

omg I literally forgot about this. ok so she broke her knee and cancelled the vmas. vmas was likely pitty and cancelled her awards all together. cool 

and yes piece of me winning video of the year was too much tbh. i think it was to compensate her after these incidents.
