*As JAY Z and Blue Ivy Present “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard” Award to BEYONCÉ*

*Lagos| Nigeria: *MTV <http://www.mtv.com/> Base hosted an epic night of music with unforgettable performances, unpredictable moments and heartfelt messages as the 2014 “MTV Video Music Awards” (24 August).

The awards, which held at the Forum, Inglewood in California had *BEYONCÉ *welcome MTV and the audience to earth shattering performances of hits from her visual album “*BEYONCÉ”. *After BEYONCÉ broke Justin Timberlake’s 2013 record for the longest VMA performance ever, JAY Z and Blue Ivy unexpectedly joined her on stage for a highly emotional moment as her family presented her with the “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard” Award.

Humbled and speaking through tears, *BEYONCÉ* thanked God, her daughter, her “beloved,” MTV and her fans. She also won the most awards of the evening, taking home Moonmen in three different categories, including “Best Collaboration” for “Drunk in Love” and “Best Video With a Message” for
“Pretty Hurts”.

*Miley Cyrus *shocked the world by leaving her twerking ways behind her and delivering a heartfelt message as she took away the “Video of the Year,” award. A former homeless youth in Los Angeles named Jesse took the stage in her place to accept her award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and
homeless youth in the U.S. From the side of the stage, Miley teared up watching him make a call to action, directing fans to her Facebook page to join the fight to end youth homelessness. Jesse ended with an emotional quote, “a dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream
together is a reality.”

The 2014 “MTV Video Music Awards” opened with the summer’s fiercest female threesome.
rump-shaking performance.

Finally, British singer-songwriter *Jessie J* joined the titillating trio to bring the house down with their smash-hit, “Bang Bang”. Nicki returned with a wardrobe malfunction that left her clutching her dress.

Before introducing “Best Hip-Hop Video”, *Common* asked the VMA audience for a moment of silence to mark the events taking place in Ferguson, Missouri, with some members of the in-house audience responding by spontaneously raising their hands overhead. Introduced by super-fan *Kim Kardashian West*, British singing sensation and first-time VMA performer *Sam Smith* mesmerized the audience - and the Kardashian-Jenner sisters - as he and his band orchestrated a soulful rendition of his powerful hit ballad “Stay with Me”.

Multi-platinum global R&B star *Usher* also delivered a funk-filled performance of his single “Give it to You,” bringing the audience to their feet and surprising everyone when *Nicki Minaj* once again returned to join him onstage during their rhythmically charged set.

Ultimately, not even Optimus Prime could save Wahlberg from the massive drenching delivered by none other than Kevin Hart and the host’s own kids.

Kids’ TV hitmaker Dan Schneider received a special Lifetime Achievement Award presented to him by the stars of his mega-hit series iCarly (Nathan Kress, Noah Munck), Drake & Josh (Drake Bell, Josh Peck), Victorious (Victoria Justice, Avan Jogia, Daniella Monet, Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett), Sam & Cat (Ariana Grande, Cameron Ocasio, Maree Cheatham, Zoran Korach), Kenan & Kel (Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell) and Zoey 101 (Chris Massey).
