Remember MTV? Remember people screaming “I want my MTV?” Yeah, not so much anymore and the network has become the teenaged Jerry Springer show. Even with the renewal of Bevis and Butthead it still the pits and as someone obsessed with music information I find it hilarious that I never… repeat never, turn to them for music news.
They have none. They’re a vortex of nonsense.
So what exactly gives them any cred with their annual ‘best of’s”? None really.
Katy Perry has earned the title of “Artist of the Year”,beating out Adele. If there were ever a more horrid competition I can’t think of one. Perry the Doris Day of bubblegum optimism and Adele the Orson Welles of depression.
Don’t you worry Adele fans, your girl did win the Song of 2011 for “Rolling in The Deep”.
Other winners? Skrillex- the most over rated half haired AV nerd of the decade beating out David Guetta as Dance Music Artist ofthe year. Can we also pause to give a giant WTF to the title of “Electronic Dance Artist Of The Year”?? Mr. Roboto…
Last lameness and actually the proverbial cherry on the top of stupidity.. MTV asked its four fans to name the best live performance shown on MTV all year.. since they don’t show music it must have been tough. Why else would the winner of that category be 30 Seconds to Mars, “Hurricane”?
Someone pull the plug on them already- consider yourself Kevorkian
