And as a result, there seemed be even more lip-syncing going on than usual.<\/p>\n<p>But still, the best in the biz brought it, providing a much-needed distraction from the never-ending cycle of doom and gloom.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the standout performances at the 2020 VMAs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Weeknd\"><\/span>The Weeknd<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zFzwgFO2bsg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first performance of the main show quickly upped the ante from the pre-show, with a bloody-faced The Weeknd performing his No. 1 hit \u201cBlinding Lights\u201d from over 1,000 feet in the air at the Edge in Hudson Yards. It was a stunning opener with the cityscape as his backdrop, with helicopters circling, so much so that you hardly missed the fact that there weren\u2019t any fans in the audience to watch him. After the whole thing ended with a fireworks display, it was hard to imagine there being a better opener than that if the awards show had gone on at Barclays Center, as originally intended.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lady_Gaga_and_Ariana_Grande\"><\/span>Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5D4vjndnB0w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Boy oh boy, did the VMAs need Lady Gaga this year. And she needed them right back. After her much-anticipated album \u201cChromatica\u201d came out in May, Gaga wasn\u2019t able to do any of the usual promotion and performances to pump up her latest LP. You could feel that she\u2019s been waiting for that moment to really do it justice \u2014 and she finally got it performing \u201c911,\u201d \u201cStupid Love\u201d and \u201cRain on Me,\u201d her No. 1 duet with Ariana Grande, with whom she led all VMAs nominees with nine nods.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lewis_Capaldi\"><\/span>Lewis Capaldi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-W6jAww3us?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The pre-show was pretty meh, with most of the performances looking like canned videos, making you long for the pre-COVID days when they would perform on top of the Radio City Music Hall marquee. But the 23-year-old Scotsman brought some real soul and live energy to the proceedings with a s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ped-down performance of \u201cBefore You Go\u201d that made you realize he wasn\u2019t a one-hit-wonder with \u201cSomeone You Loved.\u201d He\u2019s the kind of powerful, passionate singer who didn\u2019t need any of the bells and whistles that typically put the razzle-dazzle in the VMAs. This was pure talent and artistry that you might expect to see more at the Grammys.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maluma\"><\/span>Maluma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MVD4hk652IE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In any other year, Maluma\u2019s performance of his new single \u201cHawai\u201d might not have stood out. But the Colombian reggaeton star made the best of this year\u2019s production challenges brought on by the pandemic by performing at a drive-in location in Brooklyn backed by a troupe of mask-wearing dancers. He even went into the \u201caudience\u201d to bring his sexy swag closer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ly distanced cars. It felt more \u201clive\u201d than just about anything else in the show up to that point. And his reward for his performance? He won the Best Latin VMA for \u201cQue Pena\u201d with his fellow Colombian J Balvin.

But as the Queen of the VMAs typically does, she turned things up a notch by recreating her now-iconic 2013 music video, \u201cWrecking Ball,\u201d this time straddling a giant disco ball. After ascending a giant staircase, she stripped down to panties and hopped on, working some of her old moves with a fresh take.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Entertainment <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/30\/the-best-vma-performances-of-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#The best VMA performances of 2020&#8221; August 30, 2020 | 10:56pm Enlarge Image The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga Getty Images; MTV It wasn\u2019t an awards show that will go down in history \u2014 no sexy snakes, three-way kissing, pregnancy reveals or tantrums here \u2014 but the 2020 MTV VMAs had some performances that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[61462],"class_list":["post-57061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-the-best-vma-performances-of-2020"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
