I’ll buy it
The Eurovision Song Contest, which would have been held in May this year, was not so prepared for the epidemic that the song contest was not even held. However, the organizers of the MTV EMA (MTV European Music Awards) have already had time to reflect on the situation, so the music channel’s European awards ceremony was finally held, albeit virtually, on November 8. . However, thanks to this, everyone, even those who were willing to sit in front of the TV on Sunday night, were able to have the Eurovision experience, because many times (for me at least) totally new faces sang here, while everything around him it was very colorful, loud and horrible. . Or just a little, because the graphics of the digitally drawn audiences and virtual space often evoked the quality of the late nineties.
It could easily have been solved by putting the presenters in a studio to recite the names of the winners while playing some clips, instead of producing a repressive multi-hour show with a digital audience, one tap, They were shouting into the microphone in a huge arena, not in a medium-sized studio in front of the green box, strictly one and a half meters away. Due to simulated reality, a part of Black Mirror kept popping up, and then when I didn’t feel like the show was depressing, just incomprehensible and boring, it was like a sci-fi genre made in 2001 but prepared for the future. I’d watch a teen movie.
For the first time in Eastern Europe
Although the awards ceremony was announced as shared from two countries this year, much of the evening was hosted by members of London’s Little Mix girls band, and the other two Hungarian presidents, David Guetta and Barbara Palvin, barely had time. .
Government spokeswoman Alexandra Szentkirályi announced at the end of October that this year the MTV EMAs will be applied not only from London, but also from four iconic (!) Locations in Hungary. Since so far presumably everyone has been thinking about what these truly iconic places are, which they think will be worth making a pilgrimage to as soon as you can move around again, now I can finally tell you that five out of the four places they have finally been converted, two of which are Esztergom and Veszprém. and the remaining three were in Budapest: the hotel roof at the Buda end of the Chain Bridge, the pinball museum, and the Széchenyi Spa. In the latter, he was beaten by David Guetta in the evening, without an audience, who then failed to receive the award for best electronic performer after he also successfully slipped into the fashion of the eighties, which was back in fashion.
The iconic sights and Palvin, who checked in from there, were given between five and twenty seconds in total, but that was enough time for the Hungarian model to mention the must-do stuff, Ernő Rubik and Harry Houdini. However, it was not necessarily enough for everyone to suddenly feel like traveling to Hungary, as Alexandra Szentkirályi had planned when she spoke of it being a great opportunity for the country. And the latter is iffy just because not many people watch TV awards except journalists and a handful of blind fans. The MTV VMA of August, also virtual, for example, was watched by 6.4 million people, far less than the one billion viewers released by the Hungarian Tourism Agency in its first announcement when it was announced that Hungary would be one of the hosts of the EMA this year.
Let’s say during the show we finally found out that this year wasn’t really a great opportunity, we’ll only get it next year, because in 2021 the MTV EMAs will take place in Hungary, which, as it turned out, would have been held here this year, just then came the epidemic. In other words, there is one more year to finally say how much it will cost taxpayers to host a show of this caliber in Hungary, whose government did not want to reveal details of its current costs, citing contracts with MTV.
By the way, this will be the first time that the MTV EMAs, which have been held every year since 1994, will be held in a non-Western European city.
These also happened:
- Alicia Keys played the piano in a trailer with a rhinestone mask covering her entire face and wearing a larger five-figure leather jacket.
- In addition to David Guetta, Cardi B and Lady Gaga also won awards for not making a thank you video, and from this we can even draw the sad conclusion that if these artists didn’t have the mood / time / energy to make a video of 15 seconds, why would they / their time / energy to come to Hungary next year for the same.
- At one point in the show, Dave Grohl also signed up, who was probably not as familiar with the 24-year-old maximum target audience of the awards ceremony as I had no idea who he was seeing in those two hours.
