Video Music Awards

The VMA is an abbreviation for MTV Video music Award and it is an award presented by the cable channel to honor the best music videos released. Although it is a prestigious award some may say that the achievement is ruined by the controversy that often occurs at the awards. The VMA was originally an alternative to the Grammy Awards and the VMA's have been often called the Super Bowl for youth and draws millions of views every year. The annual ceremony occurs in the summer every year and is broadcasted live on MTV. The first VMA awards was in 1984 and it was Held at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. The awards are normally in Los Angeles or New York. However on previous occasions they have been held in other locations such as Florida and Las Vegas.There has been many controversial moments at the VMA's and one of the first was in 1984 at the first ceremony when Madonna performed her hit "Like A Virgin" wearing a combination bustier/wedding gown, including her trademark "Boy Toy" belt. In the middle of the the performance she rolled around on the floor, revealing lacy stockings. Some of the more recent controversial moments include Miley Cyrus' performance of We Cant Stop and this  featured the former child star entering the stage through a giant teddy bear wearing a one-piece bodice with a teddy bear styled on it.
