No EMA for "Fall Out Boy"

Thursday, November 1st: EMA's. Next to the MTV Music Awards THE biggest event for us music lovers. I voted and voted and voted again about a zillion times, urged everybody to vote, nearly started a poster campaign so that Fall Out Boy could take home at least one award. Just one. I was nervous, vains nearly popping out of every corner of my body (if that's even possible), my heart racing every time they announced FOB as a nominee. But all my votes and the votes of about a thousand other hard-core fans were lost.

Let's see who did win:

• Rock Out: Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Fall Out Boy


• Ultimate Urban: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Kanye West, Timbaland, Rihana, Gym Class Heroes


• Band: Tokio Hotel, Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance


• Most Addictive Track: Umbrella, Girlfriend, Grace Kelly, All Good Things, Rehab, Beautiful Liar


• Headliner: Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, Muse


• Album: Nelly Furtado 'Loose', Amy Winehouse 'Back to Black', Akon 'Convicted', Linkin Park 'Minutes to Midnight', Avril Lavigne 'The Best Damn Thing'


• Solo: Mika, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado


• Inter Act: 30 Seconds to Mars, Depeche Mode, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Tokio Hotel


• Video Star: Kanye West 'Stronger', Justin Timberlake 'What Goes Around Comes Around', Justice 'Dance', Bat For Lashes 'What's a Girl To Do', Foo Fighters 'The Pretenders', Chemical Brothers 'Salmon Dance'

Sure, because I'm a big FOB fan I believe they should've won at least two awards. But I'm not a fan because I love Pete's weenie, Patrick's hats, Joe's hair and Andy's tats. I love those guys because they make great/awesome/insane music, Patrick's voice is incredible and he's a musical genius, Pete's a great lyricist, Joe is a great showman and Andy is an awesome drummer. That's why they deserved at least two awards, because they are life altering. They've changed many lives and just recently they changed the lives of thousands of "Invisible Children". You should check out what I'm talking about right here with the video: 'I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off (Me and You)'

or check http://www.invisiblechildren.com/ . They deserve it and in my eyes they are winners!

Some other things I noticed:

• During Tokio Hotel's performance the lead singer, the little girly guy, the kid bends over the whole time. He's so static and just keeps doing it a whole time. Now that's showmanship! While totally lacking contact with the audience he just stood there, bending over. Those guys really deserved an award...*sarcastic*
• Amy Whinehouse accepted the 'Artist's Choice' award with the memorable words: "Actually....." and then went off stage. And that was the part we all understood. Later that evening she performed her song "Mwahaahafafa, googalala" or that is all I got from the title. Not to mention the song, she sang something allright, or rather moaned. Because I'm sure nobody got what she was singing. Did she pull a Britney? (A Britney=Showing up drugged at an award show AND performing.)
• Snoop Dog really thought he was the man, although I'm sure nobody in Germanizzle got what the shizzle he was talking about.
• And the award for shortest dress goes to... Joss Stone! Poor girl in my opinion she just forgot to put on her pants, just blame it on the pre-show stress.

All I can say is: better luck next time guys!

'Till next time friends, same black hair, same blog channel, goodnight everybody!
