MTV is biased. Thats why no one really cares about them anymore. Like back in the 80's early 90's they were awsome cause they actually PLAYED MUSIC VIDEOS for one thing, and they were just about the music, but nowadays they dont really go for the best, they just go for whats hot. Fergie? seriously, dont make me laugh, i know theres alot better music out there, its just what appeals to the masses...

^that's exactly the reason why I don't watch MTV that much anymore. Too many reality shows/ crap stuff, and no music. :/

It doesn't surprise me to see so many American artists in the nominations... i mean the European VMA's are always dominated by US acts aswell :(

Still, some of the nominations aren't too bad

Are these even based on music videos at all? It seems like popularity with the artist or song rather than the music video. Some of these music videos are terrible. :/

They should do what the Latin America MTV does, nominate people from the region and make a few categories for international acts, that way, the latinos don't get put against the more popular american artists... not that the latinamerican MTV awards are great or anything...

But I'm so glad to see "Black Cherry" nominated for Album of the year, it really is a great album. But no Ayumi? it's really unfair, to me, she deserved at least being nominated for best video for "JEWEL" and "part of Me" and album of the year for "Secret"

What's the whole point of having an Asian MTV award if it's going to be dominated by American Artists?

But MTV isn't good nowadays anyways. And out of all Koda Kumi music videos, Yume no Uta? not her best this year IMO.

I've lost all faith in mtv.

At least there's a Kouki Tange video in there. :heart

To all the people whining, since when is MTV a benchmark for quality? It's all just a popularity contest.

^
In this case it doesen't even seem to be that either.

"TITLE: I still love H.E.R feat.KANYE WEST
ARTIST: TERIYAKI BOYZ"

Hee.. Teriyaki Boys feat with Kanye West. Didn't know that Teriyaki boys is that famous. :P

(TB's song in F&F: Tokyo Drift is quite annoying and very addictive at the same time :D)

MTV "Japan" IS NOT "Japan" if it has Americans on the charts. It should be MTV International, dammit! but i'm happy for Koda Kumi's nominations!!! heheheh!!!

Yume no Uta?? out of all others? zzzz :O
and no Ayu? zzzz :O
hope Ayaka won best album and Angela for new artist!

Except these American artists are less popular in Japan than many Japanese aritists who weren't nominated.

Go Kuu...
though she doesn't really deserve it for the videos..
Black Cherry fair enough... it was a pretty good album...

She deserved all her awards last year though.. =D
Butterfly PV was awesome!

But the best video of the year?! :|

In Brazil (here it's called VMB - Video Music Brasil), the nominees are only Brazilian. There's a category called "Best International Video" that only international songs are nominated.. It should be the same for Japan as well =/

ayumi could've totally won female video if she released jewel/1 love as a single...but go angela!

i thought Ayu stopped accepting awards?

Happy for Koda of course


U know know Otsuka is preforming?
