hello!

The VMAs are coming! The VMAs are coming! As of today, the MTV Video Music Awards nominees have been announced! Tune-in to MTV, live on Sunday, September 13 at 9PM EST and see who walks away with a moon man this year, in the meanwhile you can go to MTV.com to flex your vote to affect each category! Which is great, but I think Buzznet is better than MTV, so I want to start a little research activity.

This toy moon man is almost cooler than the real thing.

Being a part of the Buzznet community in the greater general music fan community feels a lot like being a part of a really really cool secret society where we get to make fun of the greater population on the outside and laugh at our own stupid jokes...okay, so it feels like being in a high school clique.

I just wanted to mention high school so that I could put a Mean Girls macro in. ^_^

Many fan bases get a certain bad rap around here, whether it's Twi-hards, JoBro teenies, FBR fangirls, Bill Kaulitz stalkers (yeaaaah, bet you forgot about that guy eh? It's okay though, we traded him for RPattz.) etc. etc. etc. but there are also certain bands/genres/people that are generally liked and loved around here (like the ones that make good music and send good messages). Despite the negativity, above all, we here at Buzznet love opinions. Whether it's defending your band with a bad rap, proclaiming a band the WORST ever, or simply proclaiming a newfound musical love, we dig it.

I think there are a lot of very intelligent people on Buzznet, intelligent people with great opinions. So I want you all to weigh-in on the VMA nominees. In a series of polls that should be done within the next week or so, I want you guys to vote for the videos that you think should win. Not the videos that you think are going to win, but the ones that in your opinion deserve the award. That's right, we're going to do our own mock-vma voting. We'll see who wins for us and compare it to who actually wins.

So keep a weather eye out for each poll as I make them. There are 15 categories and 5 weeks until D-Day. That's at least 3 polls per week, but I may overachieve and surprise you. :D

Will Buzznet's winners align with the masses?
