MTV VMA predix: Chris Brown will beat Usher and Lil Wayne

Wow. Not only do our two experts agree on who'll win the prize for best male video at the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday, but David "Guru" Schnelwar and Darrin "DoubleD" Dortch actually rank all five contenders the same order!

BEST MALE VIDEO: DOUBLED'S RANKING
1. Chris Brown, "With You"
2. Lil Wayne, "Lollipop"
3. Usher, "Love in This Club"
4. Flo Rida, "Low"
5. T.I., "No Matter What"

This is going to Chris Brown as a consolation for losing the big prize. He's had such a
commercially successful year, much like past winners Justin Timberlake and Usher, and he won't be denied. Lil Wayne has also had a big year, but Brown is more MTV friendly and Wayne will be rewarded elsewhere. One-hit wonder Flo Rida has no chance; Usher has zero buzz for his album and T.I. won't win this category for a video that's barely getting play on MTV.

BEST MALE VIDEO: GURU'S RANKING
1. Chris Brown, "With You"
2. Lil Wayne, "Lollipop"
3. Usher, "Love in this Club"
4. Flo Rida, "Low"
5. T.I., "No Matter What"

I think Chris Brown is the front-runner.  He had the most music videos released this year of the five nominees.  He also gave the best performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards and had a dance-off with Mike Myers at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards.

Lil Wayne is the biggest seller and the Itquot rapper of 2008.  He may upset.

Usher won in this category in 2004  and repeat winners do occur in this category.
