she's not showing up at all because mtv refuses to let her perform. what do u all think?


I think she's acting like a 10 year old spoiled brat. Much like her solo work. She's become a complete joke and I will never buy anything she does solo. I look forward to not seeing her perform one of her flakey songs on the awards show. I will definitely not miss her.

That's a vomit inducing amount of smugness. Especially coming from someone who worked with Kylie. barf



I MYSELF, DO NOT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE OPINION THAT MY MUSIC IS UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL AND EXISTS BEYOND THE REALMS INHABITED BY THOSE WHO WOULD REDUCE THINGS TO MERE MEASURING. I AM IN COMPETITION WITH NO-ONE.



But writing in caps like your on usher.com is so not unique rolleyes


yeah, well...i'd still do him, so whatever.

well, it was for a duet with Kylie Minogue. he had to be willing to part with at lease some of his dignity in the first place.


"Where The Wild Roses Grow" was a good song. It didn't sound like Kylie at all.

Yeah, anyone who knows Nick Cave knows that he is anything but a pop icon ala Kylie (or anyone on MTV for that matter).

i see it as a compliment to kylie that someone who regards himself as such a "serious" musician (despite the fact that it more often than not paints him as pompous and pretentious, and also despite the fact that he's often quite purposefully silly himself) would want to collaborate with her on his records. i think she sounds absolutely wonderful on the "murder ballads" album, and she also sounds great on the future work to which she lent her voice. i think because she chooses to record and perform dance music, kylie gets a bum rap. i've always thought of her as pretty stylish, urbane and professional in terms of her choices and her asthetic. doesn't mean i'm a fan of her music or that i even really want to listen to it, but i'm in favor of her as a personality, and i can see how someone like nick cave would be happy to work with her.

This was actually MTV Europe - he actually was subject to a lot of ridicule in the British music press for having his name withdrawn, I recall. The "muse" comment in particular took a kicking in the NME.

But really, if you're a fairly hip musician with even a shred of integrity, would you want to be associated with MTV's best male vocalist award? It was a good call on his part, I'd say...

Is it just me or does this sound like another instance of calculated drama to make headlines??? If she didn't want to go to the awards, big deal, stay home, end of story. Does the whole world need to know?

Kylie even said she first heard he wanted to work with her in 1989, so that was when she was at her all time credibility low! By 1995 she'd gone Indie/Dance and had worked with the Pet Shop Boys and ater on Manic Street Preachers. But Nic wanted her first biggrin

She has a knack for making hit singles AND has a smokin' body!
What else?

You into women who look like 12 year old boys??
No titties, no ass...
Anyway she's as much as a joke as any other industry product...
