Last night went on the air the fifteenth edition of the MTV Europe Music Awards, live from Liverpool for this year. Mattatrice of the evening was certainly Katy Perry that in addition to having produced the opening and closing with his two individual success, has proven to be a good presenter putting into play his charismatic personality, full of charm and Ironically, who led the show to the old splendor dell’edizione when presented Christina Aguilera.

As regards the ceremony must certainly say that the show is no longer sparkling, irreverent and Goliardia as those once and feel in particular the lack of performances by spectacular scenery and choreography in which the awards of MTV we have used … Maybe the economic crisis will hit the television network.

It really closes the artistic life of La Crus as a band. There had announced the dissolution of the group to follow roads Soloists (Ermanno Mauro Giovanari) or with other projects (Cesare Malfatti). There was a live disc and a farewell tour that we have followed and witnessed.

Playing to the transgressive and sfoggiare look questionable leads away … is well aware Katy Perry, who was asked to conduct the 2008 edition of the MTV Europe Music Awards. On Nov. 6 will be the American 23enne to sort traffic on the stage of the Liverpool Echo Arena, where winners and losers parade of vintage chosen by the music television network. Katy has been designated - the words of producer Richard Godfrey-”because

It seems almost everything ready for the new edition of the MTV Europe Music Awards, live on November 6 from Liverpool. First, a great novelty in ‘the presenter on line “of the show at the MTV (not the one who will lead the main show) that seems to be one of the most cruel gossipari and stralunati the world: we are talking about Perez Hilton, who would have the first task of interviewing the stars on the red carpet and then to act in the show to deliver a major prize.

But coming at things more interesting and improtanti announce that the names of candidates for the victory of “molleggianti” awards are of course many artists made in the USA and a demonstration that singers in Europe are struggling to make headway in the international scenario, even for a ceremony created to celebrate (at least the idea)

The music of the old continent. Most are appointed Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Duffy and Leona Lewis. In short: girl power!

A few years ago announced his return to the world screaming “I’m bringing sexy back”. Then he disappeared (you say) with his latest single “LoveStoned (I think she knows).”

If someone was starting to despair because of the lack of Justin Timberlake you announce that your sentences are to end because it seems that the girlfriend of Jessica Biel (which as mentioned above seems to be working to prepare even an album of original) is organizing the return on its music scene, even if in small steps.

We had a first taste cone on “Fashion Rocks” in which he performed in fantastic and sensational duets with Mary J Blige, Kid Rock and Beyonce (of which you show the video at the end of post), demonstrating again that all the talent there is. And there’s more.

In network run several rumors that they would like our JT to work on a new disc: we can not know that musical imprint or if it will once again co-produced with the prezzemolino Timbaland (you ever heard?).

Noel Watched behind! And ‘the case to say to his brother “good” duo Gallagher. Look behind not only by critics of music, from paparazzi and gossip from the newspapers but especially by strangers you assalgono on stage and give you the push as if giocassi “Rimorso.”

Has the grotesque l ‘episode happened to Noel Gallagher of Oasis the other evening in Toronto, during the promotional tour for “Dig out your soul,” album imminent departure on October 6. During the execution of “Morning Glory” a fan, if I may, managed to reach Noel on stage pushing from behind violently forward, straight ahead against coffers spy.

I realized two bodyguard who promptly tied the aggressor away from the stage, and protecting the child from the anger of Gallagher brothers, Liam, trying to sferrare a handful all’aggressore without going to sign. After about ten minutes to break the Oasis are back on stage to resume the concert.

At the end the disclosure Noel was taken to hospital with suspected fractured ribs and injuries to the ligament. The culprit was handed over to the police who are investigating the case. The video of a unique episode after continues.

It ‘impossible to explain in a few words what has happened. It ‘difficult to say in short words, with a post, as has been one of the most eagerly awaited musical events of 2008. The “Sweet & Sticky tour” by Madonna in Rome yesterday was a true delirium in terms of the public: More than one hundred people already appostate by early afternoon the day before.

List and checks written without stop for 24 hours later, not without complaints for giving acquired from “furboni” to Make of jostling, with the minimisation of normal trade union and common respect.

But even for non-camped in the area parterre the situation was not simple: an interminable queue at the entrance gate of a single managed as in the worst herds for slaughter. No support of civil protection and people on the edge of fainting, people crushed the barriers even before entering (with a wounded, it seems) and much nervousness for a crowd poorly managed in his entry.

Creating security conditions can not mean having to create a human funnel just a few people to address the crowd, with a policeman at sbaraglio who said that perhaps someone had opened the safe of gun fault of spintonamenti and men of the collapsed ‘ nervosissimo inevitable power of the public.

Sixteen years have passed from the debut album of Blind Melon, sixteen years since cantilenante and hypnotic debut single “No Rain.” Wednesday, September 10, the Rolling Stone of Milan, will return to play (the only date in Italy) played their last “For My Friends” along with old classic repertoire. Here the current formation of the band: Travis Warren - voice and acoustic guitar Christopher Thom - guitar, steel guitar, mandolin and harmonica Rogers Stevens - guitar and piano Brad Smith - bass, flute and voice background Glen Graham - drums and percussion
