Rihanna's VMA Vanguard Performance Is Going To Be Spectacular & Here's The Proof...
Sunday can't come quick enough. Why? Because we've been speaking to one of the 2016 MTV VMA Exec Producers and he's told us Rihanna's Video Vanguard performanceis going to be "spectacular". TEASE!
We dropped by Madison Square Garden yesterday where this year's bash is taking place and found exec Garrett English, so we thought who best to ask about what's going to happen on Sunday, right? Here's what he told us...
"I think what Rihanna’s gonna be doingon the Video Vanguard is always going to be a high watermark for the show and I think the complexities of what she’s doing and the rest of it are gonna be pretty spectacular, so we’re looking forward to getting her rehearsal done but especially excited about how this room and our audience will respond to it on Sunday."
With so many artists and so many people involved in the show it's incredible that things, for the most part, don't leak.So how do the execs keep things secret?
"There are always lots of secrets on the show," English revealed."I think it’s really just about trying to keep everyone focused on getting the rehearsals done, trying to keep as much of the information in terms of what’s happening in the show, as the creative really develops in within our team creatively.
"There are a lot of things in and out of the show throughout so it’s not so much about keeping secrets but it’s about making sure that the information flow is happening and none of the rumours become out of control…we’re a tight knit group but once we get in here there’s 1500 people working in here so it becomes more difficult to keep some of those special moments quiet."
