The MTV Europe awards were held last night in Copenhagen and proved successful for ex-N*sync member, Justin Timberlake.
Not only did he host the awards, but he also won the awards for best pop act and best male artist.
He jokingly said that he won the best pop award because he agreed to host the evening.
One person that wasn’t so happy was Kanye West who was expecting to win the video category. The winner of the award was Justice Vs Simian with ‘We Are Your Friends’. It beats me whoever the hell they are.
Kanye claimed to have worked an entire month on the ‘Touch the Sky’ video and was disappointed to miss out on the award. You’d think, after all he’s been through, he’d be just a little bit modest, if not happy to be alive.
He even said:
"That was some complete bullshit, a spreading-the-wealth type thing."
The urban artists who performed include Nelly Furtado, P. Diddy, and Snoop Dogg.
Some of the night’s other successful artists included Gnarls Barkley, Christina Aguilera, Depeche Mode, The Killers, and Muse.
Take care and peace out…

It’s been a great year in Australian music (excluding that group with Izzy from ‘Neighbours’)
The awards opened with an Eskimo Joe performance. It’s a shame they were nominated for the same awards as Wolfmother. They did win ‘single of the year’, however Wolfmother weren’t nominated for it. I guess victory wasn’t so sweet after all.
The Veronicas’ performance was sub-par. I expected more from the twins who, last year, sang a crafty acapella duet while presenting an award. This year, they were bland and vocally strenuous. Is it me or was the emo one lip-sincing like a sock puppet? Congratulations, anyway, for picking up ‘best pop release’.
Urban music represented with the Adelaide trio of the Hilltop Hoods, who won ‘best urban release’ and ‘best indie release’. They did great on stage, though it would be nice to see the production crew bother to test their mics before the performance. Or are sound tests only reserved for Aussie rock bands?
Speaking of which, Wolfmother - who won too many awards to bother mentioning - were awesome. They showed us what rock ‘n’ roll is all about, ie. swinging a keyboard like a child on ADHD and jumping like Michael Jordan. Who said white men can’t jump?
Bernard Fanning was absolutely sublime. His ARIA remix of the touching single ‘Say you’ll watch over me’ included vocals from a tall, hot, redhead chick, and Casey Chambers. I’m not a big fan of Chambers, though I have to say her interpretation was great. Props to the heavenly harmonies and Fanning’s alternate arrangement. More importantly, congratulations on winning ‘ALBUM OF THE YEAR’. Snatched right under Wolfmother’s nose; that’s what we like to see.
Pete Murray teamed up with John Mayer for a bare yet pleasing performance. The two performed together well, though I was disappointed that Mayer didn’t sing a verse. His guitar solo was great though wasn’t it?
I’m sad to admit I missed the Silverchair performance. Shame on me!!! I’ll slap myself in the face, don’t worry.
Congratulations to Midnight Oil who were inducted into the ARIA hall of fame.
Here are the winners of the main awards:
Album of the Year:
Bernard Fanning - Tea And Sympathy

Guy Sebastian, the first winner of Network Ten’s Australian Idol, has not lived up to expectations.
Well, maybe he has. His first album went six times platinum, but that does not take away from the fact that the first RUNNER-UP of Australian Idol, Shannon Noll, has enjoyed more commercial success

Lupe Fiasco is hip hop’s new kid on the block, and he’s turning heads. Everyone is talking about him, and for good reason. His debut album ‘Lupe Fiasco’s Food and Liquor’ is a fabulous piece of social commentary.
The devout Muslim’s debut single: ‘Kick Push’, catapults Fiasco to the top of the game. The skater’s rap anthem instantly gives him a large following

Horrorcore is an underground form of hip hop music that deals with themes you’d usually find in gore and death metal. It is hip hop at its most hardcore; it’s cool in a twisted sort of way and because of that, it will stay underground forever.
Russel Simmons (founder of Def Jam; and the man behind the horrorcore group ‘Flatlinerz’) defines horrorcore as "hardcore rap with some horror movie themes
