LA REVOLUCIÓN HITS LOS VMAS: WISIN Y YANDEL ESTÁN NOMINADOS PARA BEST POP

BREAKING NEWS! Nominee announcements went out today for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.  What grabbed nuestra atención when we scanned the list?  EL DÚO DINÁMICO ESTAN NOMINADOS! After a runaway year, with record-breaking album sales and #1 videos, Wisin y Yandel have been nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.

We think los boricuas can swing it, especially since they're a hit con las mujeres.  Los Revolucionarios are nominated in the Best Pop category for "Abusadora" against Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Cobra Starship and Britney Spears. Wisin y Yandel join rapper and Degrassi grad Drake, roqueros Kings of Leon and college boy Asher Roth as VMA nominee virgins. They are the third Latin artist (Tres es el número de la suerte, no?) to earn a VMA nomination for a music video with Spanish only lyrics, following the 2005 nominations for Shakira's "La Tortura" and Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina."

Un Circo de Mujeres

The ladies claimed a fair share of nominations at this year's VMAs. Beyoncé schooled her VMA colleagues by earning nine nods for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," and Lady Gaga earned a collective nine noms for "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi."  Not to be outdone, Britney (no se pueden tener los VMAs sin Britney), earned five noms combined for "Womanizer" and "Circus."

Viva La Vida, y Los Hombres!

Coldplay, Jay-Z, Green Day, Eminem and Kanye West will be vying for VMA titles este año también.  With problem children like Eminem and Kanye at the VMAs, the night is sure to be un éxito polémico.
