At the very first VMAs in 1984, Madonna set the bar for scandalous with her performance of "Like a Virgin." It was pretty sexual for TV, but also pretty epic.

Then in 2003, Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera recreated that performance but added a three-way girl-on-girl kiss to top it off. Noone will ever forget this:

In 2001, Britney Spears performed with a live snake on TV. Animal activists were not happy, but Britney fans were mucho impressed. But honestly? I think the lip-synching was way more inappropriate...

Another much-discussed performance was Lady Gaga's of "Paparazzi" in 2009. I don't really get what she was going for here but noone would shut up about it for days, so that's gotta mean something.
