Rap-Up.com || Katy Perry, Kanye West, & Adele Lead MTV VMA Nominations

Katy Perry leads the way at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The pop princess scores nine nominations, followed by Kanye West and Adele who each earn seven, MTV announced today.

Perry’s nods include Video of the Year and Best Female Video for “Firework,” Best Pop Video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” and Best Special Effects for her futuristic chart-topping hit “E.T.” featuring Kanye West.

West picked up seven for his collaboration with Perry, as well as for “All of the Lights” and “POWER.”

Adele’s year keeps getting better. The vocal powerhouse, who has the current best-selling album of 2011, garners seven nominations for her soulful smash “Rolling in the Deep.”

Bruno Mars is up for four coveted Moonmen, while Beyoncé, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Thirty Seconds to Mars have three VMA nominations apiece. The Beastie Boys, Chris Brown, Pitbull, Lil Wayne, as well as first-time VMA nominee Tyler, the Creator all have two nods each.

Vying for Video of the Year are Adele (“Rolling in the Deep”), Tyler, the Creator (“Yonkers”), Katy Perry (“Firework”), Bruno Mars (“Grenade”), and the Beastie Boys (“Make Some Noise”).

Odd Future frontman Tyler’s “Yonkers” video, which Kanye West hailed as the best video of the year, will compete with Kreayshawn (“Gucci Gucci”), Big Sean (“My Last”), Wiz Khalifa (“Black and Yellow”), and Foster the People (“Pumped Up Kicks”) in the Best New Artist category.

On another note, these nominations are ridiculous. Adele nominated for video of the year and best female video. She sits in a fuckin chair for 4 mins! I love adele but cmon. Man Down was out of this world and s&m although racy was so colourful and vibrant and flirtatious.

@LO, Being popular, while does hold some influence, isn’t the final factor in awards. An example would be how Dark Knight, Avatar & Inception didn’t win the oscar for movie of the year.
If they were going with what’s popular, “What’s My Name” & “Friday” would be nominated.

The vmas are more about the videos rather than the music, but they do usually pick the videos of songs that chart well.

Good Look for Katy Perry tho, People may talk crap about her but she had 3 #1s from that album and another song in the top 10. She killing the game now

Surprised Rihanna didn’t get anything but at least she is on Love the way you lie (if that counts)

BIG UP to tyler!(even tho I don’t like his music)

Kanye too 7!

@LL, I thought this awards show is supposed to be based on videos. Regardless of talent, Rihanna has the money and support from her record label to hire good teams for her videos. The reason why Rihanna isn’t nominated is because MTV banned S&M and Man Down is very controversial. I’m sorry but Lady Gaga is only nominated because of her crazy fan base. Judas and Born This Way were shit

Just so so so sad. Where is all of Rihanna nominations. How about the video for s& m and man down. What the hell is wrong with mtv. And they forgt jlo song on the floor and why the hell is love the way u lie. And power on this they r old videos and the video of the year nominations are so stupid. If it were up to m I would have made a list filled with nominations that people would be happy to see. Last years VMAS were so bad. It was filled with male performers and stupid nominations. If I don’t get a good show this year u can forget me ever watching it ever again. MtV u ruined it once for everyone afain

I don’t care for most of these nominees. I hope Kanye wins the bulk of awards he’s nominated for, hope Sean scores the new artist, but would be cool with Khalifa too. Screw everybody else really.

i know exactly why rhianna didnt get nominated for anything… she snubbed the BET awards and it was a major deal specially since she was in LA that day…. you all do realize viacom owns both BET and MTV…. therefore this is rhiannas bad karma.

Who gives a fuck where Rihanna wack ass at. Her videos are so unoriginal it’s not even funny. I mean c’mon, this bitch walked in a corner store, got hugged up, dropped a carton of milk & ya’ll stans expect that shit to be nominated? CHILD PLEASE!

Katy Perry should win something b/c her vids are always creative. I don’t want her winning for Fireworks. That’s just a rip off of Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful record. Only diff. is one is in 2002 & the other is 2011.

when mtv, bet, vma, billboard do things like this to rihanna it just helps to make her stronger. i will always remember d ross saying that she has never won agrammy that is sad to me, but shes still living the good life.

@say what, makes her stronger? Are you that delusional? Rihanna is no legend. She is no icon. She is no “artist” Her songs are mediocre, catchy beats w| punchlines & that’s why they top the charts. She is a studio artist, nothing more. She’s also a weak performer so when u Ri stans talk about her as if she’s this amazing artist think about her music. She has no empowerment anthems!Just b/c she’s popular doesn’t mean she’s a great entertainer!

All i can say is that they took Rihanna out so that other artist could’ve have a chance i guess cause seriously, Only girl was nominated for a Grammy for best dance record & she won it! NE-way at least she’s nominated 6 times with eminem & Kanye for LTWYL & AOTL!!!!!!:)
Rihanna coming with another album this year so they will be forced next year!!!! BTW, #Congrats to all the other nominees!!!!
