Britney - you go with your bad self!

Missed it last night but it does look a little one sided.!

I hate that its basically all American winners/performers.
Its not like American artists are better than European artists.
I don't know why MTV Europe doesn't do anything to promote European artists.

It's the same every year. They really should start promoting Europeans.

I remember watching the MTV Europe Awards in the late 90's early 2000's and it actually HAD Europe artists and presenters. I know American acts are popular in Europe, but how about showcasing the artists from those countries. I get enough US artists at all the other US awards shows here.

I watched last year, too. Tokio Hotel and Justice were the only winners from mainland Europe, and I'm pretty sure the only nominees.

Tocotronic's Kapitulation was released in 2007.
Look up Tocotronic's "Kapitulation" and "Imitationen", the two singles from the album.
Basically no one outside of German-speaking countries know who they are, so obviously the album wasn't going to be nominated.

Tokio Hotel got lucky. They are like my babies and I love them, but they really aren't the best German band out right now, and I don't understand why others can't be popular throughout Europe.

MC Solaar (France) released his album Chapitre 7 in 2007, but he had no nominations.

and there's also Nneka who is from Nigeria, but currently based in Hamburg
Maybe if she had relocated to New York instead she would have gotten a nomination.

I agree, it's getting really difficult to see the difference between US and Europe award ceremonies. But of course that makes me sound old..

jared is the best
