Groups like Fall Out Boy (Viewer's Choice Award for "Dance, Dance"), Panic! at the Disco (Video of the Year for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies"), AFI (best rock video for "Miss Murder"), All-American Rejects (best group video for "Move Along") and Kelly Clarkson (best female video for "Because of You") were long shots to win against multiple nominees Shakira, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Madonna.Įver since, her relationship with MTV has been a symbiotic marriage. Underdogs - Chalk a major victory to those who few people thought had a chance of winning. Finally MTV recognized one of the most talented creators of the art form that helped propel the channel to the stratosphere of television. The late '90s and early 2000 belonged to Williams, and acts such as Diddy, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliot owe him for turning them into video superstars. At one point, Williams directed 40 percent of the channel's videos in rotation. Hype Williams - This year's Video Vanguard Award gave honors to a true visionary. This year's Ringtone of the Year: Ford Minor's "Where'd You Go." It is a known fact that its demographic is fragmented and no longer gets its music and music-related programming from the traditional TV set.

Smart enough to realize that she did not need pyrotechnics or stage wizardry, Christina belted a beautiful ballad and got a standing ovation. It thus became the first band whose video breakthrough had nothing to do with MTV.Ĭhristina Aguilera - Her return to the VMAs proved once and for all that the girl has superhuman vocal prowess and is in a league of her own. OK Go - The Chicago pop band's performance of "Here It Goes Again" - the perfectly choreographed dance on a treadmill video - became a hit by becoming the most watched video on YouTube, with more than 3 million hits. ![]() Which artists actually advanced their careers with Thursday night's victories and performances, and which ones did not? ![]()
