While (thankfully) most of us made it out alive from the ratched MTV VMA's the nominations for the MTV Europe Music Awards have been announced, and the list of nominees is looking way too similar to the American awards version. One of the things I loved about the EMA's was that not only did American artists get to perform and win awards overseas, but I also got to be introduced to European artists I had never heard of. Where are the Bjork's, Robbie Williams', Prodigy's and Kylie Minogue's of today? All we have to answer for is Carly Rae Jepsen, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Pitbull, to name a few. As I said before I miss the old EMA's and like the past few years this awards show is going to be as disasterous as the American one. Here's hoping (but not holding my breath) that they will have better performances this year.
