Get your metro card ready because the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards are returning to Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Voting is now live!!!! We can hardly wait until August 20th for all the explosive performances, unexpected celebrity appearances, and surprises in store. Did we mention that global superstar Jennifer Lopez is our Video Vanguard Honoree? The Bronx native will be accepting her award and performing some of her greatest hits live on stage! Until then, let’s kick back and revisit last year’s show. Kendrick Lamar's fiery medley of "DNA." and "HUMBLE." where he LITERALLY set the stage ablaze, had everyone singing along as he opened the show. Then Katy Perry arrived to host in a space suit floating in the air. The ladies of Fifth Harmony showered the stage with an epic performance of "Down" and "Angel" featuring Gucci Mane, and Normani Kordei's jaw dropping split. Miley Cyrus, a hosting alum, performed "Younger Now", taking on a whole new look and sound which made for the perfect VMA comeback. Later that night, Logic, Alessia Cara, and Khalid sang their emotional suicide prevention anthem on stage and brought awareness to issues of mental health as well as the fight for equality. There were also show-stopping performances from Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato, DNCE, Rod Stewart, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Shawn Mendes, Gucci Mane, Julia Michaels, Alessia Cara and KYLE. Video Vanguard P!nk completely transformed the VMA stage with a medley of her biggest hits, then accepted her award with a powerful speech about individuality and self-acceptance inspired by her daughter Willow, reminding those watching to be their true selves. Stay tuned for more announcements about this year’s show!

She didn't say "the world is bullshit" she said *this* world is bullshit. I've seen this misquoted so many times. Because "the world is bullshit" makes it sound like she's just complaining about everything and not something specific. She's was trying to say in her own awkward, 19 year old way that all *this* celebrity worship was bullshit. And it still is.

No different than when Brando or George C Scott refused the Oscar. Although the reasons might be different (not in Scott's case) I think Fiona only accepted the award out of politeness. The awards industry doesn't care about the artists, it's there to sell it's own product and make money and they make that money from the image of the artists so I fully see what Fiona was saying and respect her for it.

Think about it. She's saying "go with yourself" during a time where manufactured pop stars were at an all time popularity high. Think of Britney, TLC, Destiny's Child, Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC. Everyone loved their personalities, their looks, their undeniably catchy music. This is what was making the bank in the music industry at the time. Fiona condemning this type of celebrity worship went against everything the music industry stood for, so they blacklisted her.

"Don't model your life after us...…...go with yourself". Don't try to be someone you're not, just because you think that others think it's cool. Coming from someone who is a part of the Hollywood culture, those words are HUGE, and they are what many, many youth and young adults need to hear. This girl was incredibly brave to make this speech. And when you hear her say "it's stupid that I'm in this world", you know her self esteem has already been badly damaged by the Hollywood money-making machine.
@00inwiththenew00 5 жыл бұрын
Totally agree, except I think her saying that "it's stupid that I'm in this world" is more about her being humble and not having a huge ego. To me, it's more like she was saying, she isn't a classically trained singer with tons of connections etc and yet she still made it... and succeeded.

This is a fantastic speech. The mindset behind those words was beyond her time. If she had said this about 15 years later, everyone would have been commending her for being so honest. But no. It was the ‘90s. People were a lot more conformist and less accepting of individuality back then compared to the youth of the 2010s. It wasn’t until Lady Gaga came along that “Go with yourself” finally clicked. Thank you so much, Fiona and Gaga. You really made the world a better place.

There’s a lot of vapidity, vanity and smoke and mirrors in Hollywood. But one things for sure that Fiona Apple was and still is a diamond in a sea of rocks. And this is proof why. She never sold herself out and never compromised who she was. She may have suffered after making this speech but with the mindset like this and the (albeit small) discography she’s created, she’s still elevated into legendary status. I’ve always had an immense amount of respect for her and so much respect for her having the balls to go on national television and say something so bold at such a young age and in the prime of her career.

I was 14, or turning 14. This was the most amazing acceptance speech. What you said, here, 25 years ago means so much now, as it did then. "Go with yourself!" "This is my time, and I am gonna use it the way I want to use it." You truly are one of the artists that have stood the test of time for me. You are beautiful, thank you. Much gratitude.

Resonates more so today than in '97. We haven't changed a bit.

i was only 12 years old at the time. i didn’t quite understand it then, but i remember how hard “they” tried to clown her after that. Dismissing, calling her crazy and whatnot. She must’ve upset a lot of demons that night.

Later in interviews she pointed that she had ment show business world, not the planet.

This is my favourite speech. I live for this moment, 23 years ago, still as relevant as ever. Fiona is and will always be my shepherd! ♡ "IS GOOD. BYE."

I was 15 when she said this and I so needed to hear it, still in my head to this day. Just had to add that that is still one of the best albums by a solo artist ever you can’t think 90’s and not think Fiona at least once. People that don’t even know her know that song “I’ve been a bad bad girl, I’ve been careless with a delicate man, and it’s a sad sad world, where a girl will break a boy just because she can.”

Crazy how this was seen as controversial at the time. Now it's conventional wisdom: celebrity is artifice, and authenticity rules. Also I remember people saying she was drunk? Sounds perfectly sober to me.

Really, it would make a great bumper sticker; "Go with yourself!".

Back then I was critical of this speech. With the way things are going now about 20 yrs later I now think very much the same. We hoped things would be better but turned out to be worse maybe a lot worse.

So if I’m being my authentic self and saying just about everything that everyone else is already thinking, and still get slammed with hate, I think it’s fair to say that this world is bulls**t :))

This acceptance speech is ahead of your time. Fiona always ahead of your time and she don't lie when says the world is a bullshit. We are living in a world wich people hit the others, kill others and totally disrespectful. I love you, Fiona!
