The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame still has not seen fit to induct pop titan Mariah Carey, but a different institution will soon give her a lifetime-achievement honor. At this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, Carey will be presented with the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, the highest honor that MTV can grant. Last year’s Video Vanguard recipient was Katy Perry, who performed a sleek medley of many of her greatest hits. Other recent winners include Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, and — hmm. It says here some unknown person named Jennifer Lopez. Who is she again? I don’t know her.
