Watch/Listen to the EMAs online

Looks like MTV is streaming the European Music Awards on their website.

Update: The Cure loses the Headliner award to Tokio Hotel. Linkin Park was 2nd, Metallica was 3rd.

  2. Not exactly "watching" is it?

    The chances of The Cure winning? Slim and None but I think even that may be being optimistic.

  12. Tokio Hotel? WTF! When did that band form? Like, three months ago or something? Let's just see if they'll still be headlining anything 30 years down the line...

    I could stand The Cure losing out to Metallica, but this is taking the piss.

  15. It just goes to prove that the music industry is not in a healthy state. Tokio Hotel? Really?

    ReplyDelete

  18. Robert had some words about it on the official last night.

    He posted in the forum, under the EMA thread.

    He Said:

    "Shhhhhhhhhhh We haven't Won"

    MAYBE TOUTO HOTERU HAVE?

    JUST GUESSING...

    BETTER ONLINE ORGANIZATION
    LABEL MACHINE
    JAVASCRIPT
    PYTHON SCRIPT
    BASH SCRIPT
    AUTOMATED GRASS
    BLAH BLAH BLAH...

    AMAZING WE MADE THE CUT REALLY
    ENTIRELY DOWN TO THE GENUINE SUPPORT WE HAVE FROM ONLINE FANS...

    HEARTWARMING!

    UNFORTUNATELY
    HONESTY APPEARS NOT TO BE THE BEST POLICY WHEN IT COMES TO ONLINE AWARDS
    GO RICK GO?

    "Online voting is a bit of a joke, if people running them don't take any steps to prevent this kind of tomfoolery.
    MTV recently posted a poll asking if Rick Astley deserves his nomination, and got nearly 20 million positive responses to 5,000 negative responses. The actual poll results were posted, but MTV moved the page.
    But even when there are steps taken to secure online polls, those can be easily circumvented. Often, all you need to do is turn off your cookies and continually vote in the same poll. Polls that use IPs can be tricked using proxies."

    OH THE IRONY
    IS IT JUST ME OR...
    RSX

  19. I love it when RSX posts!!!

    His humour floors me every time.

  20. ugh, I stopped watching all the "music television" stations long ago... Most of what's on television nowadays makes me want to retch anyway.

    I know! Tokio Hotel?? I think Robert had the right idea; that shit was fixed to begin with... complete bullocks.

  21. err...
    still linking park?
    I feel soooo 90´s.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ah I love Robet's post! :) LOL!
    cpg--Where exactly is it on the official? I can't seem to find it.

    So who the fuck are Tokio Hotel and how the hell did they win the top spot if they only been around for a millisecond! Unbelievable, that voting must have been fixed. And I can't believe The Cure didn't make the top 3 either! What is this world coming to!!!

  23. i know is not the right section but i dont know where else i can ask this to you.

    robert got a new sticker on the guitar from the end of the 4tour, above the one that says monday 11 feb, someone understood what is wrote there?
    thanks, i really can't read what he says!

    ReplyDelete
  24. OMG... hear, hear, RS... secure the online polls or cease the pretension that they mean anything other than someone knows their way around a script. Meh.

    WE know who the REAL kick-ass headliners are! :^P

    ReplyDelete
  25. Is this the same Tokio Hotel that Andy Anderson trashed many moons ago? Revenge maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  26. astonishingly how rs knows about technical terms like python or bash scripts.

    about tokio hotel. it's a german teen band. They formed in 2005 or so but are said to have played together before. Then some producer "discovered" them and he and others wrote an album for them. so it seems not entirely artificial for me (they seem to know how to play their instruments) but they have been "pushed" very strongly (without that they would still play in pubs i guess). when they started in germany, there was a big hype / all kinds of awards etc. and now they tour other contries. so they probably have a huge teenage fan base.

    rick astley! had to lol! some time before, I learnt there is an internet meme about him:


    omg, another unheard cure song ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I suspect the "unheard Cure song"... is your attempt to Rickroll me, but I am impervious to it! ;^P

  28. He posted here, ck:

  29. I have my doubts about that really being Robert. Would he use the American spelling of 'Organisation'? I'm inclined to think probably not

    ReplyDelete
  30. I still don't think Robert understands that the "true" cure fans who need the thanks live right here at COF.

    Anyone who can decode half of what is said on the offical forum by "fans" deserves a medal.

    Quite right. The comments are quite bizarre over at thecure.com. I looked at them today and I could barely decipher most of it! At least here at COF the debat is healthy and the views are articulate.

    Tokyo Hotel fucking rule the soundwaves party dudes.....









    ... JOKE!!! Who the hell are they anyway? (who will remember them 30 days from now let alone 30 years!)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Well, if it wasn't Robert the post would have been deleted by now.

    It am certain was him. Why would I doubt it?

    And he posted there because that is his website. Not this one. This one is Craig's.
