Singer will perform — and is up for three Moonmen — at the big show, airing live Sunday, September 12. By Jocelyn Vena Usher at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards Photo: Alberto Tamargo/Getty Images Usher will certainly have fans saying “OMG” when he hits the stage at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards , but it isn’t the first time he’s had VMA viewers shouting his lyrics. The R&B superstar got his first taste of what it was like to perform at the VMAs in Los Angeles in 1998 when he played the pre-show, taking the stage in a leather, graffiti-print jacket and leather tuxedo pants. Usher’s performance back then was incredibly low-fi, having only a few dancers behind him dressed like the ones in his “My Way” clip, which was nominated for a VMA that year.
