MTV's Video Music Awards Nominations

My favs Adelle and Kanye West are both tied in at 7 awards each for this year's MTV's Video Music Awards (VMAs). Adelle has been nominated for the coveted Video of  The Year and Kanye has Best Male and Hip Hop of The Year as two of his nominations. The headliner of the noms was Katy Perry with 9 nominations...not a fan, I have nothing really to say about her but if in fact Katy does win at least one award it will be her first ever VMA award.
