MTV Europe Music Awards noms
via Video Static:
Best Video · Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" — Robert Hales of HSI · Justice Vs Simian "We Are Your Friends" — Rozan & Schmeltz of Partizan · Kanye West "Touch The Sky" — Chris Milk of @radical.media · OK Go "A Million Ways" — OK Go · Pink "Stupid Girls" — Dave Meyers of @radical.media
Compare to the U.S. version:
• Christina Aguilera "Ain't No Other Man" • Madonna "Hung Up" • Panic! At The Disco "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" • Red Hot Chili Peppers "Dani California" • Shakira f/ Wyclef Jean "Hips Don't Lie"
They definetly have priorities in better order regarding nominees. On the otherhand they also like Crazy Frog. And Pink apperently.
Does anyone have a downloadable QT link for Justice Vs. Simian? I like that video almost as much as I dislike Partizans player...
sro has it.
Go Ok Go
Partizan Player is just Quicktime with an ugly skin. The actual file's here:
Neither a fan of Pink or Meyers, but really liking that Pink's video is there. A very clear, very strong message. By intention alone, it's ahead of the pack.
the pink video is great, although i'd might have appreciated it more if there would have been a rugby ball and not an (american) football, as rugby is the fastest growing womens sport in the us! what a waste. and btw: pinks music is a lot better than the other female role models in the mainstream circus (madonna is physically a granny and does not count).
Jus' as well Lulu ain't up fe an nomination if 'Madonna is physically a granny' mutant, lol
lulu! she had that weird show with shakin stevens in it, must'ave been the early 80s!
May well have dun, but the wiki says nuffin 'bout it unless it woz 'Adrian Mole' She's a sixties star 'Shout' was her first hit in 1964 She woz on Take That's tour this year Yes it surprised me I didn't know they reformed, but then my lack ov knowledge on such, is occasioned by the fact I care little now or then, 'bout the afore mentioned band, or Lulu if it comes to it
Still I wish I'd dun the equivalent ov 10% wot she managed!
It is always dissapointing to see so few european nominees the european awards, nothing against American music and videos but there are plenty of US awards shows.
disappointing? its a fucking piss take - they are basically saying our own artists and videos are crap.
fucking pink? do me a favour...
is it any wonder no one watches mtv anymore?
its the same with the rest of the awards - top prizes for whatever dickhead american pop star can be arsed turning up
could the last person watching please turn out the lights?
Quite correct hassinator, it’s utter bunk! Cultural imperialism to say the least
You have a rider on the MTV voting page stating :
‘This year, the best Video and Free Your Mind Award will be selected by MTV, all other winners are voted for by you ……
Unfortunately not quite true is it? Coz all other winners are from a shortlist, dreamed up by sum bloody MTV MVA Awards people! So, the actuality is, they have made the decision who u can vote for!
Take the category ‘UK & Ireland Act’ I wouldn’t mind but two wars were fought in the 20th centenary to be rid ov the British connection, and ‘ere we are lumped together with not one Irish act in the showing! Laughable!
N’ ur pissed by the heavy showing ov American acts in the video section
