6. Madonna Performs ''Like A Virgin''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGeEFl4oRG8 The first ever Video Music Awards took place in 1984, and featured a performance from a fairly unknown singer whose name was Madonna. Her single Like A Virgin had already upset some critics because of its lyrical content, but little did they know Madonna as about to take things to another level. Madonna emerged onstage wearing a white wedding dress and veil, along with a "boy toy" belt buckle which had become her trademark, to perform Like A Virgin. The performance was controversial for its sexual choreography which saw Madonna grinding and rolling around the stage, quickly establishing Madonna as one of the most important figures in pop culture, which she remains even today. Since her performance at the first ever Video Music Awards, she has gone on to win 20 VMAs, more than any other artist.
