VMA Countdown: Collaboration Station

We're about 3 weeks away from the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and I have to say that this has been a really big year for great music. I also think that because the age of YouTube is rising, artists are putting more effort into their music videos and are really creating some great artistic companions to their songs. I'll be posting my vote along with the videos in each category up until the VMAs on September 13.


Best Collaboration Nominees:

- "Airplanes" - B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams 

- "Video Phone (Extended Remix)" - Beyonce featuring Lady Gaga 

- "Telephone" - Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce

- "My First Kiss" - 3OH!3 featuring Ke$ha

- "Empire State of Mind" - Jay-Z and Alicia Key

My Vote Goes To:

Jay-Z & Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind"

Empire State of Mind is like a love song to the City of New York. Alicia Keys hits it out of the park with her powerhouse voice. The video is so great because it is like looking at a scrapbook of New York. I have personally never been to NYC, but this song just emphasizes the wonderment and feeling of home that New Yorkers have for their city. Awesome song, awesome collaboration.
