Two words for the2005 MTV European Music Awards ...much better. Compared to the VMAs in Miami this year, the 2005 MTV EMAs was much more entertaining and original. It started off with Madonna performing her new song "Hung Up" while bursting out of a giant disco ball in the middle of the stage. Along with Madonna, the PussyCat Dolls and Gorillaz performed. I especially liked how they actually used 3-D animation to put the Gorillaz on stage. Very clever.
Along with the performances, I liked the host, Sacha Coen. He made a few jokes and didn't spend too much time on stage. The winners' speeches were also brief which was much appreciated. Also, the award show took quite a few breaks in between the performances and awards presentations. Usually, I'm upset when too many commercials interupt a TV program, but I think that awards shows need them since they are oftem tedious and boring for the most part.
In addition, the stage was huge, and had a regular traditional stage with a large screen in back of it, as well as a center, circular stage that went out into the audience. I very much liked the set-up of this year's awards show.
The 2005 European Music Awards lived up to its name. I was entertained and thought the whole show was well thought out. The American award shows can definitely take some pointers from their European counterparts.
