As past history has shown, anything can happen within the first few minutes of any VMA show. It seems virtually everyone watching the show is sizing up how that year's opening moments compare with those of previous years.
With this year's show — which takes place on Sunday, September 7 — coming up fast, we're taking a look back at some of the most thrilling starts on "Top 10 VMA Opening Moments."
You didn't have to be watching the show in 1984 to know about Madonna singing "Like a Virgin," dressed as a bride and writhing all over the stage at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Or the heartwarming tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. that Diddy and company did in 1997. Or (gulp) the kiss between Michael Jackson and then-wife Lisa Marie Presley?
We've dug through the vaults and found the most memorable opening moments in VMA history. It was a task that wasn't easy — but this is a list that practically screams "top that!" and acts as a primer for anyone who dares to open one of the most outrageous awards shows in the history of television.
