We asked and you responded like crazy!

Over the last week or so, we polled you guys about your favorite MTV Video Music Awards moments and boy did you let us know who your favorites were in categories like Most Iconic VMA Performance, Best Video of the 2000s and Best Pop Performance!

All told, we received a staggering 15 million votes in nine categories. By far the most heated contest came in the Most Iconic VMA Moment poll, where we received nearly 10 million votes … and over 9 million of those were split between two acts – Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi. That’s right! Fan groups for the two classic MTV artists got crazy competitive, but ultimately MJ prevailed, taking just over 57 percent of the vote. The late King of Pop’s 1995 VMA performance also took the crown for Best VMA Pop Performance.

There were plenty of surpises too. Panic! At The Disco’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” bested videos from Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Beyonce to win the Best VMA Video of the 2000s, and Lil Kim’s nipple pasty outfit from the 1999 awards was voted more outrageous than Lady Gaga’s 2010 meat dress.

Less surprising was Madonna, Britney and Christina Aguilera’s victory in the Most Outrageous VMA Moment poll. Yes, “The Kiss,” as it is famously and simply known, topped another kiss – that of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley – to take the category.

We’ll have more detailed breakdowns of some of the biggest categories in the lead-up to the 2011 MTV VMAs, which air live from Los Angeles on Sunday at 9 PM. For now, here are the raw numbers for each category (we’ll have the winner for Best VMA-Winning Video of All Time after polls close on Saturday). Let us know what you think in the comments below and thank you so much for voting!
