#music Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and Jessie J Open VMAs

It was the MTV VMAs and although it is an awards ceremony it is never about the awards, the talk, the build up and the reactions always focus on the performances. There's usually some controversy as well as collaboration and well, the show opened up with a killer medley.

Lass of the moment Ariana Grande confidently delivered Break Free before Nicki Minaj shook her bum through Anaconda whilst wearing very little then Jessie J made her biggest step to breaking America as the trio came together for Bang Bang, it wasn't plain sailing for Nicki who forced a grin whilst dealing with an outfit issue #classicVMAs
