They nominated 2003 but not this?

Right? Like they always use this one for promo and when people are asked about their fav vma performance slave4u is always the most common answer… weird

and who tf remembers that katy performance 😭 MTV is so unserious

Lets not forget about this one, plus even 2007 is more iconic than roar

exactly, Britney easily deserved 2 nominations, she's the queen of the #VMAs after all

exactly tommy

katy nominated when she didn’t even have the most memorable performance of that night

MTV is trying to hard to make her happen like

How was her 2000 “Oops” sparkly suit performance not nominated too?

They did not nominate the iconic Slave 4 U because she's not attending the VMAs. So they included B with Madonna and Xtina. Even Oops! performance is more iconic than most of that list. The winner will be the one that attends the show, this is already rigged

I predict all of Britneys mtv performances to be nominated each year 😭

It’s ok they also didn’t include MJ’s performance amd Madonna’s Vogue. I guess those are overqualified/hall of famera.

I don’t remember Roar at all, and I have been watching the VMAs religiously since at least 1998

this performance lives in my head rent free

AND OOPS! Brit deserves 3 noms EASILY

The also forgot the 2000 Satisfaction striptease—the performance that made her an icon.

They probably knew Slave would’ve instantly be crowned most iconic.

This performance IS the VMAs

Best vma performance ever

Unreal, this is one of the most epic moments in pop culture EVER.

So Britney is gonna get on stage twice: to receive the VMA Global award and also the award with Madonna and xtina?

Because that’s not fair it clears everyone here they have to be fair

They don’t give a fuxk 🤷🏾‍♀️ they can’t never just let her have her SHINE EVER

Insane! I don’t like that list.

They don’t know what’s good.

because she’d probably win and not show up lol

Why is Beyonce even nominated?

This is literally all I think about when I think VMAs. I don’t even know what the Katy Perry performance is supposed to be. All the others I agree with

They have to keep some amazing performances to nominate them in the next years

They are tasteless, but most probably they will nominate this one next year

I C O N I C

Half the nominees arent worthy

They should’ve nominated both. The kiss is the most famous and iconic performance of all though.

Definitely a crime that it's not

What a joke

Honestly. HOW!? How was this and Oops with the glitter bodysuit not nominated!? When I think BEST VMA PERFORMANCE. I do think of the Pop Queen Ms. Britney herself! And THOSE are the two performances I think back to!

This was the best!

Let’s have them fucking forget Michael Jackson, who was her best friend
