European MTV music awards: The ending is coming

I was once under the impression that everything European was more chic, less mainstream, and contained more talent per sq inch than America ever could. Of course, I'm directly referencing music here. But I was sorely disappointed with the European MTV Music Awards. Lose the accents and it may as well been American MTV.
Example:

Question of the Day: This is some serious shit.

Rihanna. She entered the music scene in 2005. By the end of the year she will have released 7 albums. 7 albums in 8 years. Not to mention the numerous featured songs aka Coldplay's Princess of China. She has just released her new video for Diamonds. One listen through and I can't get "Shine bright like a diamond" out of my head. Not cause it's brilliantly catchy, it's the way she says it, like a cracked out Minnie Mouse that's actually 40 and has smoked too many cigs. 
I've had a love

There once was a time......I was stupid

Once upon a time I had a stick up my ass about Coldplay and Rihanna. I just deeply disliked both. Chris Martin was a whiny Brit and Rihanna was too pretty to look at.
Then life and love happened and I'm currently obsessed with two songs.
1. Princess of China by Coldplay ft. Rihanna
2. We Found a Love by Rihanna

Crazy how what we hated eventually turns into love. It's a thin red line between the two, right?
But, what do I know? I used to hate sunny days and long for only rain. Now, I prefer the sun. I blame age and the loss of teenage angst. 
Back to my obsessive song loves. 
You should check out Rihanna's video for We Found a Love. I found a love when I watched it. I'm always happy when a music video features a strong story line. This does and I think it's all pretty.
 p.s. the video has over 67 million views on youtube. Damn.

My other momentary love I mentioned doesn't have a video, but it should. 
Check out the song though!
