MTV Asia Awards Malaysia 2008

Music: Panic At The Disco - That Green Gentleman



Malaysia had the honor to host the MTV ASIA AWARDS 2008 last night.

Oh if only I could have gotten tickets to the awards show...

But anyway. Watched it on MTV last night!

And it rocked! GO MALAYSIA! *grins from ear to ear*

Compared to the previous award shows I mean, Malaysia actually did a really good job.

The sound system was good, the stage looked great and best of all, whoever planned it invited awesome performers!

Leona Lewis, PCD, OneRepublic, Panic At The Disco - can it get any better? =D Well actually it can, but what the heck, it's good enough for MTV Asia. I mean, the performers from previous years (and the horrible sound system coming from, surprisingly, Singapore) were very dull, remember Avril Lavigne? That was NOT a good live performance.

On to the actual performances. PCD was great, they were full of energy. Leona was a bit off-pitch but still great! OneRepublic, The Click Five and PATD were just okay (Brendan Urie was sweating like mad LOL). Electrico and Stefanie Sun - kinda boring. EAR (East Asian Revolution?? Pop Shuvit's part of it) was uh...noisy. Surprisingly (to me), The Script (some new Irish band) and Super Junior (Korean boyband) gave the best performances of the night - they really rocked!! As for the hosts, I was never a fan but Jared Leto is freaking hawt! *drools* And he was really cool too! He should have dragged his band members along, but then again I guess Malaysia will have to fork out more $$? Karen Mok was a bit stiff, but still acceptable. Good choice of hosts MTV!

There was one thing I didn't like about it though - where were our local artistes? Come on, this is Malaysia, having PCD presenting 3 awards in a row is kinda lame, don't you think so? And only one local performer, Pop Shuvit. And they were not alone, they performed as the EAR Project thingy, so that doesn't really count either. Where was everyone else? Siti Nurhaliza? Faizal Tahir? Or what about Disagree? Or any other local bands? If we get a chance to host this again, I hope there will be more variety of presenters.

Still, good job Malaysia, let's give ourselves a round of applause!
