There are only two weeks to go before the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and the excitement’s growing like wildfire.
Kanye, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Katy Perry… so many great artists are up for awards. Kanye should win with Good Life, but I’ve thought that before. Frankly, he should have accumulated a shelf full of awards for his videos by now. He’s a creative genius and we all know it. Why not just give him his awards and sleep well at night?!
