Bow down: Beyonce was the reigning queen of Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

It was an all-Philly affair on the Skate Park Stage in the early afternoon, with bouncy pop song of Cruisr (recently signed to Vagrant records) giving way to Nothing, Dominic Palermos dream-pop project, which debuted on Upper Darby metal label Relapse Records this year with Guilty of Everything.
