Victoria's main interest of music being RAP/HIP HOP It’s a tough choice in some of the categories such as the Favourite Artist with the battle of Lil Wayne and Kayne West. If it had been a choice of Videos it would have been locked down with Kayne 100 per cent. Videos such as Runway have been outstanding and portrays his endless creativity and is highly recognisable in todays music industry. Favourite Album has to be Jay-Z & Kanye West/Watch The Throne, the collaborative project with two Icons from the Hip Hop world, featuring the amazing Frank Ocean was must have album this year.
From the Soul/rhythm and blues music category for Favourite Female Artist for Victoria, it has to be the One and only Beyonce, Glastonbury outstanding performance this year concludes this. In the Latin Music section for Favourite Artist has to be the Queen herself Jennifer Lopez with her amazing comeback career.
Victoria will be watching the live stream this year to find out who is rocking what on the red carpet and is hoping Nicki Minaj sorts out a better stylist than the previous one for the MTV music awards 2011, as that red carpet outfit was shocking, far to many things happening at once. As much as we are a fan of Nicki Minaj usual creativity this was a step way to far.
