MTV Asia Music Awards

Just wanted to post about these Awards because I have been in an awards craze recently anyway I just wanted to talk about the nominations.
For the China Award I only know Li YuChun but please don't vote her as winner! I wish Jane Zhang was in this as she has great vocals.
Anyway why doesn't India have their own award but instead have to vote for other world wide awards. I personally think the MTV Asia award is actually more of an American award but with Asians voting!
Anyway not going to talk about Indonesia as I know none of them!
Hong Kong of course if the one I'm more familiar with - I'll be cheering on Joey because she is my favourite Hong Kong artiste! I hope you do to!
Though I do listen to Korean music I actually haven't much of an idea on any of the Korean nominees, I know who they are but I haven't really listened to them! And why are they all groups put some people like BoA in their! With Korea it seems weird because the best artistes they have that are in Asia are not winning many awards in Korea!
Anyway I thought I knew a bit about Malaysian music but I have only heard of Nicolas Teo! Anyway we'll see what happens their.
Singapore is also one which I'm slightly more familiar with. To all the fans of Electrico sorry I don't know who they are! I personally don't like Stephanie Sun that much even if she is really really famous. Tanya Chua and JJ Lin are OK but I don't have that many songs by them on my Ipod or just haven't listened to them. I would like Tanya to win for some reason maybe because JJ annoys me a bit even though I like his vocals.
Taiwan is my second most familiar as I know all the artistes! YEAH! Anyway I do need to start listening to more Mayday songs because I just haven't been that interested for some reason. I will support Jolin here because she is the best out of the 4! S.H.E. was one of my favourites at the start of their career but I have just developed a disliking for their recent music choices! I much prefer F.I.R. who should be here. Show Luo also is what his name is he is more of a show-er(not anything bad though) I basically mean he is more of a performer - I actually don't really like many of his songs! Anyway it's so bad that A-mei Chang and Leehom Wang aren't nominated as they are the best in Taiwan! Also I thought Jay Chou had an album recently so wouldn't he be a likely candidate to choose? Anyway if it was my decision it would be A-mei, Jolin, Leehom and F.I.R.! They are definitely the top 4 of Taiwan!
Now let's calm down and talk about the other awards
The Favourite International Artist in Asia annoys me a bit to be honest. Ok I know Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing was real hot in Asia because I basically heard it everywhere I went and I accept she is one of the favourites in Asia but why Fergie and Linkin Park! I think Fergie was more enforced by the Americans rather than being a favourite of the Asian population because she did so well in America. I don't remember liking "the Duchess" that much but it seemed to do fantastically in America. I don't really like Glamorous and I have never heard of the songs London Bridge and Big Girls Don't Cry and don't make me start on Linkin Park. I like Justin Timberlake though!
The Breakthrough Artist award doesn't shock me at all because all of them have done well around the world, though I'm not too knowledgeable about Daughtry. Anyway my favourite here is OneRepublic I just loved their album and I'm sure I've went through this in my blog already. Mika isn't a favourite of mine but he seems to have been a huge hit in Asia. Leona is also doing well and it's nice to see two british acts doing so well here. I'll be cheering for OneRepublic though.
I don't really want to talk about the Innovation award as it doesn't really click with me! What is it for!
The Best Hook Up Award is interesting in my opinion. I don't know much about the Avril and Lil' Mama collab. because I haven't heard of the remix of Girlfriend. To be honest I much rather "When You're Gone" being one of the biggets hits because I like that song however it flopped compared to Girlfriend.
The Shakira and Beyonce collab was Ok but it wasn't my favourite song to be honest ("Beautiful Liar"). Rihanna ft. Jay-Z's "Umbrella" is a good song and very catchy so I'll put a mark on that one but my favourite is Timbaland ft. OneRepublic's "Apologize" I am just in love with the song and to be honest the song actually was much better with the help of Timbaland!
I don't want to talk about Bring Da House Down or Video Star award either because they don't have my favourite artists in their!
