A 12,000 strong crowd will join Eminem, Robbie Williams, Whitney Houston and Enrique Iglesias in Barcelona tonight for the MTV Europe Music Awards. It is hard to predict if any one act will steal the night with no less than seven artists holding four nominations - Eminem, Coldplay, Kylie Minogue, Pink, Enrique Iglesias, Shakira and Royksopp.
Host P Diddy, himself up against Slim Shady for best hip-hop artist, was gallant in potential defeat when he predicted that it would “Eminem's year”.
