MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS 2011 – THE WINNERS

August 29, 2011

The MTV Video Music Awards 2011 took place last night in Los Angeles, and I would post footage of the best/worst performances but VIACOM (owners of MTV, VH1 and BET) are beasts when it comes to ripping down any of their award ceremony footage that have been posted online.

……………… Today marks the 10th anniversary of singer Aaliyah Dana Haughton’s tragic death. Aaliyah and various members of the record company boarded a twin-engine Cessna 402B (registration N8097W) at Marsh Harbour, Abaco Islands, The Bahamas, to travel to the airport in Opa-locka, Florida, after they completed filming the music video for the single “Rock the Boat”.
