This year the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards were held in the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
Justin Timberlake
and Rihanna pull away this year with
Justin taking the ‘Quadruple Threat of the Year’, ‘Male Artist of the Year’, ‘Best Choreography’ and ‘Best Direction’ while Rihanna took the ‘Monster Single of the Year’ and ‘Video of the Year’ (which was presented by legendary producer Dr. Dre) for her smash single Umbrella featuring Jay-Z.
Other awards went to Beyonce
& Shakira (‘Best Collaboration’) with Beautiful
Liar, Fergie (‘Female Artist of the Year’), Fall Out Boy (‘Best Group’), Gym Class
Heroes (‘Best New Artist’) and Gnarls Barkley(‘Best Editing’) for their hit Smiley
Faces.
The night wasn’t just about the awards as the performances came
from every inch of the building. From the “come back” of Britney Spears to the show stealing performance by Chris Brown with his singles Wall to Wall and Kiss Kiss, a collab with Rihanna and an jaw-dropping
Michael Jackson medley.
AD LOADING...
Kanye West and 50 Cent put aside their “rivalries”
over the 9/11 showdown and got on stage together to announce the winner of the ‘Most Earth-Shattering Collaboration’.
Kanye West
performed an abundance of songs off Graduation
at his Good Life Party with T-Pain joining him on Good Life.
With a hilarious opening from comedian Sarah Silverman; performances from T.I., Common, Alicia Keys, the Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy,
Gym Class Heroes (w/ Lil Wayne) and 50 Cent; a rare appearance from Dr. Dre and even a fight between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee;
this year will definitely be remembered.
