Leave it to Madonna. Next thing we know, wearing double glasses will become a trend.  

I've seen others do it, but I'm all for her to supersize it into a trend. I think that's how I'm going to wear my sunglasses as well. 

Oh so hard, but I'm going with Confessions GIrl... she was still spiritual at that point, but was in a dance mood at the time. Love both

I'm Going Bananas or Bitch, I'm Loca?

The Madonna fan vote is insignificant either way. The only reason 03 would’ve had a better chance is because Britney & Xtina were there, and because it’s sort of recent enough that some of the younger voters would be personally aware of it.

I tend to agree. And even then, we know the votes will go more to the more recent contenders especially Taylor.  People called it as soon as this category was announced. 

While I don't have anything against Taylor, but even I know that there are far more better iconic performance than hers that weren't even nominated.  In fact, Howard Stern showing up as Fartman, as a presenter in 1992 was far more iconic,  LOL!

Express Yourself is great! 

Vogue is great to but i wish it wasn’t a total lipsync. 

I picked virgin to 

Oh, I used to wish that.  But I also see that there was so much put into that performance, the lipsyncing doesn't matter to me anymore.  After all, she did it so effortlessly along with all that choreography.  The fact any one of those ladies could have easily dropped their fans and didn't, was impressive. 

Anyone want to still vote who hasn't before the reveal at the VMA's tonight?

If you had to pick between the both of them, what would you pick?

I picked Virgin performance!  But I do think her Express Yourself and Vogue performances are far more iconic, but that's me!!

I think voting in this honorary category is not the best option for this reason, some nominees are just put in a disadvantaged position.

Madonna definitely was.  As mentioned earlier, with Madonna being part of two options, it will split the votes for Madonna no matter how much M fans vote for her.  She probably would have had a better chance if there was only one option that included Madonna.

Im not pressed about it at all. And im not going to explain myself again.  

I never asked you to do so.  Why should you?  But we all have our opinions...

Just now, True Blue 84 said:

Oh it's definitely fine ❤️... you didn't have to do this post but its sweet 😘 There where no hard feelings from my side either.... 

Certainly, the important thing is we both agree Madonna is extremely iconic and we will go to bat for her anytime. 

Hey @True Blue 84, know I don't take this very seriously, and just see this as a "spirited debate".  I totally enjoy your posts and respect what you offer here.  Peace and love!

not sure if voting results are visible anywhere, it was probably just fan speculation

I'm sure it's not visible because they want the results to be underwraps until the night of the show, even though we all know Taylor will win. LOL!

I never said there weren't any other iconic performances. I said on that list.

And cmon, use your sense, Gaga or Taylor swift are not the most iconic on that list. Stop acting like the smart-ass, you know exactly what i mean and you know that im right. 

I never said they were, but it doesn't mean they aren't "iconic" to others.  Believe it or not, there are millions of people who have felt other performances than just Madonna has made in impact on them.  Again, this is just a silly poll.  Are you really that pressed over this?

Did you "vote"? There was no process going on, just access to an URL (the ones I posted yesterday) saying "Thank you for your vote".

It was all a set up.

Yes, I did!  But I only did it once. I have no interest in sitting there trying to fight what obviously is aimed at a younger generation of voters.  Obviously, as you vote, it's being tallied, hence... "thank you for your vote" afterwards. 

People are only pissed here is because they know Taylor will win and many fans hate on her. That's the "fact" here! 

Just now, True Blue 84 said:

None of the others had the same impact those two Madonna performances had. Fact!... 

I could say the exact same thing to you " maybe to you they aren't " 

And yes to me they are. It's definitely not Gaga or Swift. It's just because their fanbase is much younger so they vote more. Still doesn't mean their performances are the most iconic on the list, and hell no they aren't..

 

Name 1 more Iconic mtv performance on that list than...

Like a virgin ( 1984)

Madonna, Britney, Xtina 

I wait...... 

And yes Britney's slave, Madonna's Express yourself and Vogue should be on there to but they aren't...

The difference is I'm not stating my opinion as fact. You are!  Again, we're biased. We're Madonna fans, but I certainly can think of many other iconic appearance and performance throughout the 40 year Award show.

It's just because their fanbase is much younger so they vote more.

That's what I've been saying.  This is catered to Social Media where more younger people will participate.  Other than that, it's just rabid fans who are voting a zillion times to try to ramp up the votes for the one they want to win.  It's only a "joke" if MTV didn't expect that.

But those type of actors, singers, authors... walk around like everyone owed them something. And it's not the case. She can be super talented but if she comes across this bitter every time she opens her mouth, what's the point?

I've only heard her ever mention Madonna/Evita twice which have been several years apart now.  Both times, she was asked point blank, and while I agree she comes off quite nasty about it, it's not like she's offering to talk about it every time she's interviewed. 

"The Point"... she was asked "point" blank.  The more recent was part of a silly game, knowing exactly how she would react.

I told you it was set. No voting going on there.

Sad.

Of course "voting" is going on.  But when you leave the voting up on a social media network where people can vote more than once, and you have rabid fans of each fan bases, hilariously clicking their choice over and over, you can expect such results.  Of course Taylor is going to win.  Why wouldn't she?  She's the biggest superstar of the moment. 

Do I agree Taylor's performance should win?  NOPE!  But I don't think it's "set"!  It's just predictable because of course she's going to win, when the voting process is obviously catered to a way many younger generations communicate these days.

Let's be honest, this whole category was made to purely pander to nostalgic music fans and that's it, do you guys really think these are the best performances from the history of this show, apart from maybe Madonna's? They all purposefully selected a performance from each big pop woman of the last decade plus an obvious Madonna choice Just to attract the hardcore pop fans. They knew what they were doing.

To be honest, I think Madonna's Vogue and Express Yourself was far much better.  Vogue especially was Iconic.  I do think Like A Virgin performance was too, but the impact it had then doesn't really carry over through the test of time. A lot of people watch it now, and think, "what was the big fuss?"   But those of us who were alive and witnessed it, knew it was a huge deal at the time.

It's a joke!

Ofcourse we want Madonna to win. BUT those 2 performances ARE the most iconic performances on that list. Britney's slave performance should be up there to. ALL the others are good performances, but NOT iconic... Good but forgetable 

 

Yes, they ARE to you... but it's just not you and the Madonna fans who are participating.  Again, as Madonna fans we are simply biased to it.  Clearly there are far more better Iconic performance even beyond Madonna's.  I personally don't think those two Madonna choices ARE the most iconic performances, especially from Madonna.

Online someone posted a top 5 so far with 1 Taylor swift 2 Lady Gaga 3 and 4 i can't remember and 5 was Katy Perry. No Madonna. This can't be true right? How does this person knows this allready, you could also see the % of how many... But if it's true, this categorie is a joke... 

It's only "a joke" because we want Madonna to win.  Clearly, a younger generation of music fans will be heavily involved in voting.  Also, Madonna wasn't the only entertainer to have iconic performances.  Maybe those choices weren't the best to represent a 40 year run of VMA performances, but there are a handful of Iconic performances and appearances that didn't even involve Madonna.

I wonder if she's interested in making music now, she does not have deadlines because of a contract, she's not forced to make a record anymore.

She said she wasn't into making the 3 albums before Madame X while promoting it, maybe she wasn't into it either but wasn't gonna say it while promoting it anyway. It's been 5 years, longest break and she still has no recording contract. 

I pretty much feel the pandemic probably changed her path. I think she would have had a new album by now, but then she got involved with her Biopic. She also knew, getting her music distributed and heard wouldn't be the same. I do think she is interested in making new music.  But these days, if it's not distributed in a certain way, and not able to reach the general public like she managed in the past, it might be a deterrent for her.
