MTV is a limping old dog in the US. Horrible. Chowed on by Fuse who at least pretends to be about music, MTV is a shell of its former self.
Not the case in Europe. Still one of the leading music forces, simply because they don’t have much option.
This year the European Taylor Swift, Muse, No Doubt, Carly Rae Jepsen, fun, Rita Ora, The Killers, Psy (seriously?!?) and Alicia Keys
'It is so good to be back at the MTV EMA,' said Alicia Keys. 'I'm crazy excited to share music from my new album 'Girl On Fire' with the world. I feel such a powerful energy around me when I'm performing, especially on a night like the EMA. It's electric! I also get to be inspired by all of the other incredible artists.'
The Killers said: 'Roses are red, violets are blue, The Killers are coming to Frankfurt to play the MTV EMA.'
Psy added: 'Since this is my first time to not only be nominated for an international award but perform in front of a worldwide audience, I am excited to give up my international virginity to the MTV EMA!'
Some of the dumbest quotes of all time. The point is MTV is thriving in Europe. Heidi Klum will host the 19th annual awards show will broadcast live from Frankfurt's Festhalle on Sunday, November 11th at 9PM CET* on MTV channels around the world. Don’t be surprised if this Euro shows ratings exceed those in the US. Everything is cooler overseas.
