COMENTANDO LAS NOMINACIONES A LOS VMAs 2023.

Este año los premios se celebrarán a mediados de septiembre en lugar de a finales de agosto, como era costumbre. Antes de ayer se revelaron las nominaciones a los premios  MTV Video Music Awards , que han llegado más tarde de lo habitual, ya que se ha pospuesto la fecha de la gala. El anuncio de los nominados se produce después de que la ceremonia haya ido perdiendo relevancia, audiencia e impacto en los últimos años.  Existen varios problemas en las nominaciones de los últimos años y es que , por una parte, uno no se aclara de si se nominan los vídeos o las canciones .

It's funny how the Academy keeps on blessing her so hard when she and Jay-z have disregarded and mocked the awards.

The industry and the public classify an artist and make you expect he or she is going to always drop the same type of music. In the early 2000s there was an explosion of new artists and some of them were what we later  used to consider pop queens like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Despite Beyonce started in Destiny chid,(R&B) during her debut she mixed both R&B and pop ( 'Irrepleazable ' and 'Crazy In Love' ) . S he went totally pop with her 2008 album 'I'm Sasha fierce' . With songs like ' Halo ', ' If I Were A Boy' and ' Single Ladies' she became played in every pop radio station. Her pop side was confirmed with her 2011 album '4' and her self titled album (songs like ' Pretty Hurts ' or 'Love On Top '). But in her 20
