Awards
Rihanna most nominated at MTV EMAs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 18 September 2012
FAO pop fans, MTV has just shared with the world the nominations for its 2012 European Music Awards, which this year will be presented in Frankfurt on 11 Nov. Rihanna looks set to win something for her new LP ‘Talk That Talk’, featuring on six shortlists, while Taylor Swift has a slightly lesser five mentions. They square up to third-most-nominated artistes Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, who are each recognised four times.
Chris Brown narrowly escapes contention for ‘Best Male’ by virtue (I mean, unfortunate circumstance) of his new record ‘Fortune’ being ineligible in terms of when it was released. Though he is nominated for his guest feature on Pitbull’s ‘International Love’. But he really needn’t attend the ceremony on that basis. Seriously, it’d mean stealing Pitbull’s thunder, and no one wants that. Nor do we want to see him (Chris Brown) and Rihanna kissing again.
Anyway… moving on, the nominees are:
