Wow!! This is awesome!!! Congrats girls!!!
Tiffany’s English remains so good despite not using it too regularly (I think). The show as a whole was bad, I don’t think they will get to do another one. The presenters obviously were just there for the money and seemed disinterested the entire time. Yeongwonhi SNSD.

The show was suppose to be a mess. It’s so they dont copy MTV and the other award shows.

YTMA down, MAMA to go.
Congrats, SNSD!
They deserved that award. I’ve never been one for voting so people I like can get awards (never cared much I guess), but I HAD to help so I could see Tiffany’s reaction when GG won <3
it feels good to be able give the girls some thanks directly, its like we all gave them that award with every share
I was watching with my cousin when they annouced it We went off!! We started screaming and yelling saying “THEY WON!! OUR GIRLS WON!!!” and saying the chant over and over. I screamed my lungs out. SNSD DAEBAK!!! Oh and SONES we’ve done well by helping them earn this award!
hahahahaha AWESOME REACTIONS! I love it and wish i could’ve done the same but at the time i’m at work making money. :D
SNSD took down some seriously heavy hitters… the crowd was shocked, all the better…
Awesome there is a video already. I was watching the show but had to go down to family dinner JUST before the category was announced. SO I missed it. Very very angry about that(not at anyone in particular).Glad they won, go figure. They wouldn’t have sent her if they didn’t know if they’d win or not. Kinda bummed the video cuts out at the end and didn’t show all of the beginning. But that’s okay for now. Yay Fany!
I’m so happy they won!!! I voted lots of times, I knew they were gonna win. So proud to be a SONE :) I love you snsd!!
Congrats to the SONEs for their hard work, SNSD won Video of the Year… over Psy! That’s quite the bragging rights. 70 Million views is no joke
Thanks to the sone who actually took the time to share their video to get the win. Awesome job you guys! This was a great win because Youtube is global.
The whole show was so trashy and Fanny was so classy!
Luckily I read an article where they said the show would be all over the place so expected it to be a mess. Unfortunately, I couldnt stand an hour of it. Closed tab as soon as Tiffany was off the screen.
i see many Directioners, Lovatics, Selenators, Little Monsters, Beliebers were like “Who are Girls’ Generation? How come they win?”
SONE are the best fandom ever.
we’re the most Badass fandom in this world!
GO SNSD ! Dominate the World
@KeoLegend and this most Bad@$$ fandom is gonna keep having their 9 beauties dominate the world. the world better be prepare, because they don’t know what’s coming their way. Soshi Virus is gonna hit HARD without a cure. XD
Thanks to all Sones in the world to make this happened.
SNSD, fighting!!!
Next step SONES, MAMA LETS GO
I’m so Happy for SNSD. Right now Girls Generation!! I’m so proud to be a Sone :)))
i was so f*cking happy when it was announced TT.TT
~cant contain feeling~
I watched the whole thing (not too bad by the way) just to see that moment when Tiffany went to accept the award…and once that was done it was time to catch up on the Walking Dead
Never doubted our girls for a second. Never been prouder. Soshi forever!
