Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé to Perform at the MTV VMAs

If you needed another reason to tune into the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, here’s one: Beyoncé. The R&B sensation has been added as a performer to Sunday’s show.

MTV has officially announced that Queen B will return to the VMA stage for the first time since 2009 to perform material off her latest chart-topping album 4. She is nominated for three Moonmen this year including Best Female Video, Best Choreography, and Best Cinematography for “Run the World (Girls).”

“Beyoncé has delivered some of the most legendary and memorable performances in VMA history, we are so excited she’ll be returning to the VMA stage this year,” said Amy Doyle, Executive Producer of the 2011 VMAs. “Everyone will be talking about how she set the VMA stage on fire-yet again!”

She joins previously announced performers Lady Gaga, Adele, Bruno Mars, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Pitbull, Ne-Yo, and Young the Giant. Additionally, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Rick Ross, and Odd Future have been confirmed as presenters, while Jessie J will serve as the evening’s house artist. Tony Bennett will introduce a musical tribute to the late Amy Winehouse.

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, August 28, at 9 p.m. EST.

I also hope she does an EP of 4 b/c imo there wasn’t enough songs on the album.

@slim, lol Keri Hilson to perfom at the VMAS? Well, another question is : Why is Keri Hilson never nominated at the VMAs? lol, This year, The performers are all nominated, I guess that’s why they will be performing! Keri has no smash hits and must stop being a flop artist with her 150k albums sold!

@Cranberry,

the material on this album is good so any song she performs is gonna be good. like come on you can’t even up show the girl when she performing that crappy-ass song single ladies. or even run the world. Beyonce can turn the crappiest song into the best performance.

I hope she performs “Party” or “Countdown” & not one of her flop singles! Lol. I’m NOT a fan but iKnow she shuts it down when she performs! I gotta give her credit 4 that. Would be EPIC if she does “Lift Off” & bring Ye & Jay on stage. But knowing her she’s going 2 perform “Run The World” because she’s nominated 4 that video. We’ll see.

KERI HILSON IS HATED ON SO MUCH AND I THINK HER VIDEO PRETTY GIRL ROCK WAS BETTER THAN NICKI MINAJ’S CRAP VIDEO….. REAL MUSIC IS NEVER NOMINATED FOR THESE AWARD SHOWS …… NO BOYS ALLOWED WAS THE BEST R&B CD I HAVE HEARD AND BETTER THAN BEYONCES 4
