Berlin, 13. August 2014 – Die international bekannte Entertainerin, Singer-Songwriterin und
Philanthropin Beyoncé erhält bei den „MTV Music Awards“ den „Michael Jackson Video Vanguard
Award“ und reiht sich damit in eine Liste namhafter Künstler wie Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers
und Justin Timberlake. Beyoncé ist die Künstlerin mit den meisten Nominierungen: In acht
Kategorien darf sie auf einen Award hoffen.
Darüber hinaus wird sie am Sonntag, den 24. August, bei den „MTV Video Music Awards“ 2014 live
aus dem Forum in Inglewood, Kalifornien, performen. Beyoncé lieferte einige der einprägsamsten
Auftritte in der Geschichte der VMAs – dazu zählen der atemberaubende und explosive Gig mit
„Ring the Alarm“ im Jahr 2006, die Hymne „Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)“ 2009 und der
unvergessliche Überraschungsauftritt mit „Love On Top“ 2011. Beyoncés triumphale Rückkehr ist
ihr vierter Auftritt bei den „MTV Video Music Awards“.
Iggy Azalea ist gleich sieben Mal nominiert, u. a. in den heiß begehrten Kategorien „Video of the
Year“, „Best Female Video“, „Best Pop Video“ und „Best Collaboration“. Auf der VMA-Bühne wird sie
von der „MTV Artist to Watch“ Kollegin Rita Ora unterstützt. Mit ihr performt sie ihre neue Single
„Black Widow“, die gerade die Charts hinauf stürmt. Nachdem sie sich einige Jahre in den Hip-Hop
Underground-Kreisen einen Namen machte, feiert Iggy Azalea 2014 Erfolge vor einem großen
Publikum. Ihr Super-Hit „Fancy“ feat. Charli XCX ging sofort auf Platz eins und brach alle Airplayund Spotify-Rekorde.
Maroon 5 werden die Fans mit einer Live-Performance eines Songs aus ihrem kommenden StudioAlbum „V“ begeistern. Sie treten auf einer besonderen VMA-Bühne auf, die von Kia Soul präsentiert
wird. Am 2. September 2014 veröffentlicht Interscope Records V das neue Album von Maroon 5.
Wie der Titel verrät, ist V das fünfte full-length Studiowerk der Grammy Award-Gewinner.
