Britney Spears Wins the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award -- MTV VMAs 2011

The MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award has gone to some of music's biggest and brightest pop stars over the years including Madonna, U2, the Beastie Boys and many others. But tonight, the esteemed honor went to the one and only Britney Spears. Often called the Lifetime Achievement Award, it was later renamed in memory of the King of Pop.

The award was presented by Lady Gaga's alter ego Jo Calderone who tried, in several ways, to kiss the diva while she accepted the award.

The moment was rather reminiscent of the Brit Brit and Madonna make-out session at the VMAs in 2003, but Jo was unsuccessful in landing that smooch. Britney was rather touched after a short tribute and speech from Gaga honoring Spears as one of our generation's greatest pop acts. This is the singer's second win of the evening, after claiming the award for Best Pop Video. Looks like Britney really is back, bitches!

The following is a list of recipients of the MTV Video Vanguard Award.
The Video Vanguard Award, also known as the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award or the Lifetime Achievement Award, is given to musicians who have made a profound effect on the MTV culture. The award is also given to music video directors who have created some of the most popular and acclaimed music videos in MTV history. The award has come under fire because MTV hardly handed the award out during the 1990s and 2000s. While the recipients of the award have included some of the most popular and acclaimed artists in MTV history, MTV has been criticized for not handing out the award to other artists that some see as having an effect on MTV (such as Nirvana, Tupac Shakur, Run-DMC and Bruce Springsteen.)

Madonna
Zbigniew Rybczyński
Madonna found immense popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV.

"Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator." Michael Jackson

Thank you for sharing this with us. Twitter has been going crazy with excited MJ supporters.

I have to say that I am ecstatic too. MTV did Michael a huge disservice by removing his name much like the elementary school put the boards over the auditorium. Michael was not even guilty or found guilty in court yet he was treated as though we was.  However, I'm convinced that part of this hoax is about righting the wrongs and we can be proud that these two monumental accomplishments have been made by supporters of Michael. It's too bad that it took this long to right these wrongs but with faith and trust everything works out for the best in the end.

I am hopeful that now we can all band together for the biggest task of all...and that is to show the world that Michael was always an innocent man. Let's do this for Michael. He deserves it.

Blessings to each of you. I am proud to be a part of this all.

Love4Michael

I turned off my cable almost 3 months ago so I had to suffer through the ridiculous excuse of a live feed online since I was merely curious as to what might be said.  All that effort was rewarded when I heard the announcement that "The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award is presented"...(you know the rest).  Though I saw an interview where he said that he didn't display awards at home because he didn't what to feel like he'd "done it all"...I think this is different.  There is truly only ONE artist deserving of the award being named after them for all of the imagination and brilliance they brought forth to this entertainment platform.  An award being named after someone represents that they in fact HAVE done it all and set the bar that others will strive toward...and in this instance there is no other candidate in my book.  It was a travesty that MTV dropped the name for a while but thank God that the recognition is back where it always should have been.  I hope your smile is a little bigger today because of the honor rightfully restored.  I Love You Michael!!!
