MTV Music Awards 2017

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

Well, everyone who follows me since day 1 already know that my career once started as an artist. Before I got interested in IT, my whole life was about being on stage and in front of cameras. This is the reason why I am still intrigued to award shows such an the MTV Music Awards. 



The fight night with McGregor vs Mayweather took my attention last weekend so I didnt get to see the Award show by myself which is okay because summaries are always more exiting to watch. 

In this post I am going to talk about my favorite performances and obviously about the prizes as well!

Favorite Performances 

Kendrick Lamar 

Kendrick is an American rapper with a huge talent. His shows, lyrics, stage sets and musicality is just incredible. He performed a medley of two of his current songs - DNA & Humble... 


Demi Lovato

I am a Demi fan since her first appearance in Disney´s Camp Rock. She is such a strong and confident woman. Her voice is just as powerful as her attitude. By the way, her background dancers are girls from Millenium Dance Complex in Los Angeles where I used to dance when I was in the states. 


Shawn Mendes

Okay first let me tell you that I am normally such a hip hop / rap person where it takes a lot to surprise me with a different style of music. Shawn Mendes is obviously an amazing artist and seeing him performing on stage and living his dream is great! Its obvious that he hasn´t done many live performances in the past but he still did a good job!


Alessia Cara

What should I say to this enormous voice? The sound of her voice is unique and powerful. The way she doesnt agree with the glamorous world around her makes Alessia very special. 


Logic feat. Alessia Cara & Khalid

To be honest, I havent heard of logic before. He isnt the best singer in my opinion but his rap bars are tight. If you also havent heard of him, I recommend watching this following video until the end. Logic isnt a normal rapper than every other. He talks about racism, suicide, mental health and lot more in his songs. He pulls out topics that media mainstream doesnt want to talk about...


P!nk

Is there a better word for girl power thank P!nk ? She was iconic and still is! Look at her performance at the MTV Awards last weekend. 


These were my favorite performances. 

Have you seen any of them? Who is your favorite?

5 winners and 5 losers of the night 

Obviously not everybody can win an award so there must be a "loser". But actually there arent any loser at this event. If you manage to get nominated, you already are a superstar and its just a matter of taste who´ll win this. 


Winner - Taylor Swift

The fun fact here is that Taylor literally didnt appear at the MTV´s but still won the prize.


Loser - Katy Perry 


Winner - Fith Harmony 


Loser - Julia Michaels 


Winner - Kendrick Lamar 



Loser - Lordes immune sytem 


Winner - Jack Antonoff and his many, many writing credits


Loser - aggressively #woke politics

This year’s VMAs took a purposeful, political stand long before they aired. They brought back the “Best Video with a Social Message” award, rebranded as “Best Fight Against the System Award.” They made all the categories gender neutral, nixing Best Male Artist and Best Female Artist to create an all-encompassing Best Artist of the Year category. They even made the traditional “Moonman” trophy gender neutral by renaming it “Moon Person” in a classic case of “points for trying, but this just seems awkward now.”

P!nk - Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Awards

HUMBLE. - Video of the year / Kendrick Lamar

What do you think about the MTV Music Awards?

I would like to join this event in 1-2 years. But not as an artist, of course just as a part of the audience. 

Thanks for reading 


Stay focused 

Love, Soldier

Lamar and katy they are awesome in my opinion :)

I really like Pink. Awards are a great way to see all the celebrities in one place and laugh at the hosts/ hostess.
But, in reality, they have too little with the art and who deserves a vote for the best song.

Katy Kat did well :) Tay Tay's video creeped me out...

This is great

Lendrick Lamar's music is awesome, He deserves it.
Really a nice post, I liked it.
Thanks for sharing.

Asahd, Dj Khaled's son was the biggest winner of the night!

Such a nice post...u never disappoint me @soldier
Kendrick lamar is my favourite

Basically bread and games to control the masses. I think people should go back to make more culture in local pubs and country clubs.

Kendrick Lamar always for me anyday anytime 💪

And migos..

Kendrick lamar my favorite!!!

I use to watch for over a decade but I think it changed a lot through the recent years... due to other media platforms.... but I do still watch it 💖

Ugh I remember when MTV use to be good...

Interesting review of the mtv awards 2017. I did not get to see it too.

I agree kendrick is amazing but there are more up and coming rapers that werent on this list

Thank you

Great article! you really laid it out well!

Music is life , I feel like music inspires people and leads them to easier being happy or sad. Love your choices , music always connects people :D

Wow what a composition ,not easy at all @solider ,I have no other option than to follow you,what a great post,wonderful one ,more blessings to u.

I really like the Demi Lovato Performs

Alessia Cara and Ed sheeran, love love love!

That Logic performance just gave me chills. I also wrote a little about his performance. I think him and Alessia Cara are spreading good messages to the younger generation. In today's society, most people just don't know how to be themselves and are influenced so much by the social media, mainstream media, and all of these political figures that think they know whats "right" for everyone. Thanks for your post!

Taylor swift rreally won all!
All tv are talking of her

I love Katy Perry
Can't figure out why she lost
Her Roar till date is still my favorite

Awesome, thank you for the recap. Haven't watched the Mtv awards yet

I am in love with katty Perry

Demi Lovato is my pick..... Love her music to my bones.... And those dancers are super talented. Good voice that melts the heart.

I love ed sheeran, his songs speaks to me and touches my heart.

many of my fav too in the list :D

Good posting

I really love the way you structured the whole post, I have managed to grasp the news I missed. Nice work dear

And the boxing match was one hell of a something, Conor's courage and confidence are out of this world

Ed Sheeran just nailed it with one song !!

Lamar and katy
They are really Awesome

I'm addicted to Lil Uzi vert..

winners deserve it they all are my favorite one's i enjoy listening to them

i hope you join it soon :)

Ed Sheeran definitely earned the Artist of the Year award!

i like to the MTV Music Awards its great
