Nelly has 3 nominations, that's pretty good. I think there are some other categories she could have been nominated for though. She's up against some tough competition, hopefully she'll be able to win at least one of them. Can you believe that Shakira has 7 nominations?!

[dave]

Yeah I know, what's so special about Shakira's Hips Don't Lie video?

Congrats Nelly, these are her first VMA nominations

[dave]

Just to let everyone know. This year is kind of different. MTV is allowing fans to vote for the winner in each category. I've already voted for Nelly in each of the categories she's nominated in. I hope all fans here do the same and spread the word. You can vote as many times as you want.

Yeyy Green Day should deffinatly win the "Best Rock Video"!!
The only reason Shakira's song is nominated so many times is cause it is a chav attraction, and she spreads her legs in the video. Ugh pass me the sick bucket. Hips Don't lie? Yeah cause thats a bloody good name for a song isn't it!

[Sprinkles]

I posted this in the voting thread so people wouldn't miss it.

[Maca (Mod)]

Virtually every other Nelly video has been better then the Promiscuous one... Apparently this awards are just based on popularity, what a scam!

Good for her anyway!

[Sunny]

OK so let's vote

[finewine]

What to vote for an odalisque's video for? Shakira's video is just her shaking her hips, where's the art in there? Pshd.
Hope Nelly wins tho

[Nelly_Furtado]

yay,nelly is up for VMA's...I'll vote right now...

[Sprinkles]

She's got some stiff competition.
