1 years ago By Movies Desk

The 2023 VMAs had both highs and lows, featuring outstanding performances, meaningful messages, and issues such as technical glitches and controversies. These talking points reflect the diverse range of experiences and opinions surrounding this annual music awards event.

Best Talking Points from VMA 2023

1. Shakira’s Electrifying Video Vanguard Award Medley

Shakira’s career-spanning medley showcased her timeless pop hits, her flawless dancing, and indirectly highlighted a certain soccer star’s misstep. Her performance was a testament to her enduring talent.

2. Hip-Hop Legends Unite: Grandmaster Flash & More

The VMAs celebrated the 50th birthday of rap with a legendary medley featuring Grandmaster Flash, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Nicki Minaj, LL Cool J, Lil Wayne, and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. It was a generations-spanning tribute to rap classics.

3. Anitta’s Vibrant Brazilian Showcase

Anitta’s performance of “Used to Be” and “Funk Rave” exuded Brazilian funk’s vibrant colors and swagger, creating an electric block party atmosphere that viewers wanted to be part of.

4. Stray Kids’ Captivating Performance

Stray Kids, winners of the Best K-pop VMA, mesmerized the audience with their award-nabbing track “S-Class.” Their precision and style made a compelling case for them to grace more awards shows.

5. Peso Pluma’s Authentic Música Mexicana

Peso Pluma’s performance, backed by Spanish guitar and brass horns, showcased his effortless authenticity and emotive voice. As one of the genre’s brightest rising stars, he left the audience eager for more.

Worst Talking Points from VMA 2023

1. Lil Wayne’s Underwhelming Opener

Lil Wayne’s performance of “Uproar” and “Kat Food” may have come from an undeniable legend, but it failed to deliver the expected excitement, leaving viewers unimpressed.

2. Fall Out Boy’s Remote Performance Flop

Fall Out Boy’s rendition of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” suffered from being a remote performance, lacking the energy that in-venue performances usually bring. It failed to ignite the VMAs.

3. Måneskin’s Uninspiring Start

Måneskin’s frontman’s unique entrance and performance of “Honey (Are You Coming?)” didn’t live up to the standard set by their previous VMA appearance. It lacked the impact they are known for.

4. Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Bongos”

Despite their chemistry, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance of “Bongos” didn’t stand out as expected. The island-themed act had bongos but failed to leave a lasting impression.

5. Diddy’s Hit Medley

While Diddy’s medley of hits, featuring guest spots and family involvement, had its moments, it didn’t create the groundbreaking VMA moment one might expect from such a music icon
