The Video Vanguard Award is the most prestigious honor a musician can take home from the MTV Video Music Awards.

It’s an honor, bestowed upon everyone from Michael and Janet Jackson to Britney Spears, Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, that recognizes artists who have consistently delivered cutting edge and game-changing visuals.

This year’s recipient is Shakira, who fits right in with the game-changing icons who have already taken home the Moon Person. She is truly a deserving winner, but we’re already thinking about who should receive the Video Vanguard Award next year at the 2024 MTV VMAs.

We put together a poll so that you could let us know who deserves the honor most!

There have been 21 seasons of American Idol so far (with another coming next year) and throughout those two decades, there have been 14 different people who have sat behind the judges table.

The longest reign in the judges chair is 12 seasons while three different judges only appeared on one season. We bet you totally forgot that some of these people were even on the show!

Another fun fact is that only three seasons of American Idol have had four judges while the other 17 seasons all had just three judges.

One thing that has remained constant throughout all 21 seasons is that Ryan Seacrest has been the host every single year. The first season he co-hosted with Brian Dunkleman and then he was a solo host for the remaining 19 seasons.

Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour is the new celebrity hot spot!

Every night during the 33-year-old “You’re On Your Own, Kid” singer-songwriter’s record-breaking trek, dozens of superstars are spotted enjoying the show, often showing off their experiences on their own social media, or being pictured trading friendship bracelets from the VIP section.

Night 2 (August 4) and Night 3 (August 5) of Taylor Swift‘s LA stop at SoFi Stadium was definitely no exceptions, as several stars were seen singing and dancing along, as well as taking selfies with eager Swifties in attendance. (See who went to the first night!)

American Idol is a cultural institution, and Season 21 is coming to an end tonight (Sunday, May 21) at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

The reality TV competition show – which kicked off as Pop Idol in the U.K. before launching in America in 2012 – has since spread all around the world with a bunch of international versions, all boasting major superstars for judges.

After airing on Fox from 2002 to 2016 for 15 seasons, it was on hiatus for two years until 2018, when a revival of the series began on ABC, and it’s aired ever since.

Over the years, plenty of talent has judged and mentored the contestants all the way to the top. And one by one, all of them have eventually left the show to go on and do other things – even the last remaining original judge from the U.S. series.

We’ve rounded up all of the judges who have since departed from American Idol, along with the explanations they’ve given for why they left the show.

We want to know which female pop act you consider to be the best dancer in the industry.

A pop star doesn’t have to dance to captivate an audience, but it’s definitely a bonus. Choreography brings something extra to a performance.

It’s that dose of athleticism, artistic expression and grace that leaves you gasping in awe.

Luckily, so many of our favorite pop stars are incredible dancers. For example, Britney Spears had fans enchanted from the very first time she strutted down a hallway in the “…Baby One More Time” music video. Pink quite literally elevates her shows by executing incredible gymnastic feats on the regular.

Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Shakira and Lady Gaga have delivered some of the most iconic choreographed routines that we’ve ever seen.

And that’s still barely scratching the surface in terms of amazing performers in the industry. There’s so many more people we can mention, but we want to know what you think.

We created a poll so you could tell us who you consider to be pop’s best dancer!
