So far, I dont see any need to watch the VMAs at all this year. I am not excited even a little bit. Growing up, it was one of the coolest thing in all of television to watch each year. Now it seems to have lost its luster. | |

She just performed on the stellar, high-quality TEEN CHOICE AWARDS (or whatever) on FOX the other night anyway. Besides, the VMAs suck. She shouldn't want to perform there - or even BE there - in the first place (but yet she does. so what does THAT say? lol) | |

considering the state of journalism these days, particularly the music press, i bet if you typed one up and sent it out, someone would run it as a story, verbatim. "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

i always thought this was an amazingly classy response to the VMAs by nick cave:
TO ALL THOSE AT MTV,
I WOULD LIKE TO START BY THANKING YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME OVER RECENT YEARS AND I AM BOTH GRATEFUL AND FLATTERED BY THE NOMINATIONS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FOR BEST MALE ARTIST. THE AIR PLAY GIVEN TO BOTH THE KYLIE MINOGUE AND P. J. HARVEY DUETS FROM MY LATEST ALBUM MURDER BALLADS HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED AND HAS BEEN GREATLY APPRECIATED. SO AGAIN MY SINCERE THANKS. HAVING SAID THAT, I FEEL THAT IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO REQUEST THAT MY NOMINATION FOR BEST MALE ARTIST BE WITHDRAWN AND FURTHERMORE ANY AWARDS OR NOMINATIONS FOR SUCH AWARDS THAT MAY ARISE IN LATER YEARS BE PRESENTED TO THOSE WHO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMPETITIVE NATURE OF THESE AWARD CEREMONIES. 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. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY MUSE IS A DELICATE ONE AT THE BEST OF TIMES AND I FEEL THAT IT IS MY DUTY TO PROTECT HER FROM INFLUENCES THAT MAY OFFEND HER FRAGILE NATURE. SHE COMES TO ME WITH THE GIFT OF SONG AND IN RETURN I TREAT HER WITH THE RESPECT I FEEL SHE DESERVES - IN THIS CASE THIS MEANS NOT SUBJECTING HER TO THE INDIGNITIES OF JUDGEMENT AND COMPETITION. MY MUSE IS NOT A HORSE AND I AM IN NO HORSE RACE AND IF INDEED SHE WAS, STILL I WOULD NOT HARNESS HER TO THIS TUMBREL - THIS BLOODY CART OF SEVERED HEADS AND GLITTERING PRIZES. MY MUSE MAY SPOOK! MAY BOLT! MAY ABANDON ME COMPLETELY! SO ONCE AGAIN, TO THE PEOPLE AT MTV, I APPRECIATE THE ZEAL AND ENERGY THAT WAS PUT BEHIND MY LAST RECORD, I TRULY DO AND SAY THANK YOU AND AGAIN I SAY THANK YOU BUT NO...NO THANK YOU. YOURS SINCERELY, NICK CAVE 21 OCT 96. | |

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...

i thought she was performing as well. last i heard anyway.
but i would think (if it's true), it's a bit early on in her solo career to be pulling a "diva" tantrum. | |

I'm getting kind of sick of "Hollaback Girl" (I was sick of it the first time I heard it) but I would be intersted in seeing her perform. I think she's right. What is wrong with MTV? I agree with Gwen's descion. although I'm sure she didn't want to make it a big news story. | |

He wanted to and for years before the duet he'd walk around when he traveled with a Kylie lunchbox til it was stolen. He and Kylie grew up just a few miles from each other.

As if seeing the bitter rivalry between the American Music Awards & Grammy Award wasn't so stupid enough, now MTV VMA was to make an example of ANY artist that performs on Teen's Choice Awards? Screw MTV! | |
