Because the tips on how to save energy have been given to us by none other than the stars, ladies and gentlemen (first of all, Cameron Diaz). I mean, that one, with her angelic face and a grimace of someone holding back a fart, who consumes more energy than a nuclear power plant, is telling me to unplug the charger when my phone is fully charged?????? And her? Do you think she does it? Not that she's an example to say "oh, who cares, I’ll do it," but they always have a lot of nerve. In my opinion, therefore, an EMA's that is inferior to previous years, definitely worse than last year (where the Best Alternative went to a band that at least had something alternative like the System of a Down, and the hosting was definitely better than this year's). Let’s say that, by a narrow margin, the Lords saved face, a band that plays decent hard rock but focuses on a truly breathtaking look. If only Mr. Lordi had sung instead of vomiting into the microphone, they would have been perfect. The review... heavily reflects your enthusiasm for this show. There were some things you could have skipped (like the magnificent performances by the Killers and the Muse): you’ll see, soon you’ll also learn to hate this show... a living contradiction indeed. Now, one last note: did you ever, even in your wildest dreams, in the most perverse and sick fantasies, imagine seeing Lars Ulrich together with Kelis as hosts??????? Saying I was shocked is an understatement. Metallica R.I.P. Mtv (if it doesn’t hurry to change) R.I.P. EMA's definitely R.I.P. Requiem.

Then. Definitely much more thrash than Borat was the moment when the Red Hot Chili Peppers were awarded Best Album for "Stadium Arcadium" (at this point, it would have been just as well to award Orietta Berti). Let’s not even talk about the outrageously over-the-top reactions—obviously staged—of Kanye West upon hearing that the Justice vs Simian song ("We Are Your Friends") won Best Video. We never understood why he got mad (remember, it was just for show). Was it because his little video with that whore Pamela Anderson cost a million dollars? But fuck that. The award for Justice vs Simian was more than deserved (I was torn between them and Ok Go). And this was the triumph of opportunism. And what about the other abominable outrages? For example, Best Rock going to the Killers (which, sorry to say, I would have categorized as Best Pop) or Best Italian Act to Finley (here I ran to the bathroom to throw up. Now and always, Cristina Scabbia, you are with us!)? But wait!

So: no hard feelings towards your review, first of all. I’ve seen them too. All those ads for Justin Timberlake and the like had made me nauseous, but there you go. Let's also remind everyone present that this show, even more so than the American counterpart of the Video Music Awards, is a triumph of commercial music and the lows of the market. But what more do you want? Also, let’s remember that, unlike the VMA's, here we have the Free Your Mind award, which is given to a person or an organization that works to save the planet. This year, it was not awarded. But whatever. Now, let’s get to the show. Right from the Best Alternative award (which went to Muse, who are anything but alternative), I felt like throwing up. I mean, Muse beat out competitors who are either at their level (Arctic Monkeys) or vastly—and I emphasize vastly—superior (System of a Down, Raconteurs, Korn... even if they’re pretty much done). Let’s brush that aside. Justin Timberlake's opening performance is exactly what Vladimir Luxuria would ask for. A performance from pampered queens, as the good Sgarbi would say. A good moment, in my opinion, was when Borat appeared (which you criticize only because it’s a parody of Kazakhstanis... and thank goodness there are people like him...), okay, vulgar and trashy as you want, but sarcastic and sharp as always.

Oops.

Forget Sofficini or Mezzelune. Now this is a great review. Congratulations. P.S. No need to thank me, because you deserve it.

The review is impeccable, and I find nothing to critique; however (even though I agree with you that we could have expected something more from the good Al), I didn't dislike this album. Nothing particularly innovative, to be clear, but not something to completely disregard either, come on.

Well, what can I say? You've really put in the effort, haven't you!

Sephiroth, no, I wasn't there. At least not in person. A friend of mine went and had the courtesy to film parts of the event. Including the (rather boring) performance by Axl Rose, bits of Korn, flashes of Deftones, some Motorhead, Sonata Arctica, and Crucified Barbara. thetrooper: excuse me for the incredibol boiata. Black? Probabilment I was a little bit assonnat. I mean death.

But tell me a little, anonymous of my balls, what are you? I don't even say who you are because I don't consider you a person. So what are you? An asocial? Someone with integration problems? A frustrated individual? Or just the portrait of the person you've described, passing it off as me? Well, that you're an idiot goes without saying. But what about the rest? In a decade, I could even write a thesis about you, you know? Maybe titled: "Anthropoid monkeys: are they still among us? Pros and cons"...
