hey orgers

i completely missed the EMA's this weekend and just caught a few little
bits and pieces of the recap on tv.

so what was it like? just another crappy award ceremony like most of the
ones we've had of late, or were there actual high lights?

?

Franz Ferdinand rocked!
Gwen was great!
Although, the show was boring...
Eminem still sucks...

I love the lyrics to "Gold Dust" in your profile. Although now I'll
have Tori singing "I was here" in my head all afternoon lol.

A lot better than the American ones, even though most of the performers - and I think all winners even - were Americans themselves (European Music Awards? ... right.) That's not to say much of course. But at least all the performers sang live - that's (categorical) progress, isn´t it?

I also think that there are too many similarities in both the American and
European music awards. They're only a few months apart and they feature a
lot of the same celebs performing and picking up awards.

If I'd be in charge I'd make the European music awards more alternave in
content. Have a bit more depth to it, present it with something of that
old world class instead of having an exact las vegas copy of the american
version.

I'd love to see people like Tori Amos, Nick Cave, Erykah Badu, Ryan Adams,
Ed Harcourt, Ben Harper, Radiohead, Bjork, Ann Pierle, and even people like
Norah Jones and such come perform or pick up their awards. The world does
not revolve around pre-packed teen pop, just like the whole world does not
revolve around those blond hair blue eyes with neo-80's outfits and silicon
faces we get force-fed on tv these days

I finally came to the conclusion that i really don't understand pop-music anymore. Usher wins best male artist, britney best female,...I turned off the show after about 30 mins. Only Outkast's awards were justified...all the rest was total cr*p...some of the performances were good though.
