Who Will Win at the VMAs?

Video of the Year

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz, "Thrift Shop"
Bruno Mars, "Locked Out of Heaven"
Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell, "Blurred Lines"
Taylor Swift, "I Knew You Were Trouble"

Justin Timberlake-Mirrors

This is a tough call, Mirrors should win, Swift has the fan vote, and Blurred Lines is a much talked about video of the moment, although the questionable rape undertones could hurt.  So who wins?  I think this is between Swift, and Timberlake, neither have won Video of the Year.  A woman has won the last five years, and sometimes the VMAs spread the wealth.  

Will and Should Win: Justin Timberlake

Spoiler: Taylor Swift

Best Male Video 

Justin Timberlake, "Mirrors"
Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell, "Blurred Lines"
Bruno Mars, "Locked Out of Heaven"
Ed Sheeran, "Lego House"
Kendrick Lamar, "Swimming Pools"
This could be where they spread the wealth, while women tend to dominate the Video of the Year, they did not this year.  This is between Bruno, JT, and Robin Thicke.  I think this one will go to Robin Thicke, namely because it just feels like its his to win.

Will Win: Robin Thicke featuring Pharell

Best Female Video 

Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko, "Stay"
Taylor Swift, "I Knew You Were Trouble"
Miley Cyrus, "We Can't Stop"
Pink feat. Nate Ruess, "Just Give Me A Reason"
Demi Lovato, "Heart Attack"

I would actually pick Rihanna, but Swift has this unless Miley can pull off the upset.  Then again Rihanna has won Video of the Year, but she has never won this category before, so could she upset?  I think Swift fans will prevent this from happening.

Will Win: Taylor Swift

Spoilers: Rihanna, and Miley Cyrus

Best Pop Video 

Bruno Mars, "Locked Out of Heaven"
Justin Timberlake, "Mirrors"
Fun., "Carry On"
Miley Cyrus, "We Can't Stop"
Selena Gomez, "Come and Get It"

Look out for that Miley Cyrus as a spoiler, this is one of the most popular songs of the summer, and this is the only place where it seems more likely she would win.  This is also where "bubblegum" artists are typically awarded.

Will Win: Miley Cyrus

Spoilers Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake

Best Collaboration

 Justin Timberlake, feat. Jay-Z, "Suit & Tie"

Pitbull feat. Christina Aguilera, "Feel This Moment"

Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding, "I Need Your Love"

Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell, "Blurred Lines"

Pink feat. Nate Ruess, "Just Give Me A Reason"

Another showdown between Robin Thicke and Justin, but this time Jay-Z is in the mix, I feel like Robin Thicke will take this award as well, namely its a Video of the Year nominee.

Will Win: Robin Thicke featuring Pharell

Spoiler: Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z

Best Rock Video 

Imagine Dragons, "Radioactive"
Fall Out Boy, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)"
Mumford & Sons, "I Will Wait"
Thirty Seconds To Mars, "Up in the Air"
Vampire Weekend, "Diane Young"

Radioactive is the hot song of the moment, but Mumford is way more popular, I think they have this one.  30 Seconds to Mars also has a big cult following and could spoil.

Will Win: Mumford and Sons
