Rihanna To Recieve Micheal Jackson Video Vanguard Award At 2016 MTV Video Music Awards

With the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards in only 6 days away, it appears that Rihanna will be on hand to receive the Micheal Jackson Video Vanguard Award, honoring her decade-long impact on music, pop culture, fashion, film and philanthropy. The tribute will be followed by a performance of her own. Speaking of which...

Remember Micheal Jackson?

That's right, Micheal Jackson is the King Of Pop. His 1982 album, Thriller, is the best selling album of all time and he spawn alot of Top 40 hits like Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, Can't Stop Till You Get Enough, Smooth Criminal, Bad, and Black Or White. Too bad he was killed at the age of 50, 7 years ago back in 2009. Anyway, back to Bad Gal Rih. Shall we?

OK, here's my thought. I'm really excited to see Rihanna recieving the Micheal Jackson Video Vanguard Award. First, Britney Spears performing her 2016 single, Make Me (Oooh), then Katy Perry performs Rise, and now Rihanna recieves Micheal Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 VMAs? This is gonna be awesome. I'm in becaise I love Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Rihanna and I'm glad they're gonna be at the 2016 MTV VMAs. Unlike the awful 2015 VMAs with Miley Cyrus as the host. I hate Miley Cyrus's stupid Dooo It! VMAs performance. Curse you, Miley Cyrus. Now then, here's what Billboard has to say about this. Take it, Billboard.
