One of the factors working against Helsinki was the lack of five-star accommodation required by the music world's glitterati, the website says. "The city would be full of major stars and very high-level guests," says Marja-Leena Rinkineva, Helsinki's economic development director. "We're talking about many dozens, hundreds of such people, who would require hotel accommodation of the highest quality."[/quote] [quote]The Finnish capital has hosted world leaders, but doesn't have enough five-star hotels for the MTV Europe Music Awards[/quote] [url=http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-30515640]**SOURCE**[/url] God forbid, Kanye sleeps in a four-star hotel. The HORROR!
Good. Wouldn't want half of those jackasses on our soil anyways.
Meh, to me, getting hosted by local people is a 5 star hotel treatment. And its more fun
people watch MTV?
[QUOTE=SexualShark;46768257]people watch MTV?[/QUOTE] Only idiots do.
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;46768297]Only idiots do.[/QUOTE] You're so above them all.
Remember when MTV played music. Those were the days. Now its some bullshit reality tv and has been for years now.
This is legitimately something i thought i'd only see as a joke in something like GTA V with all the celebrity and fame satires/parodies. Seriously though this is pretty damn shallow, haha
[QUOTE=Aide;46768723]Remember when MTV played music. Those were the days. Now its some bullshit reality tv and has been for years now.[/QUOTE] Honestly, if they played music still they'd probably be dead. I know everyone and their mother has seen this video, but it sums it up well; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ysyZF-DZFY[/media] To put it in a less rude way; it's business. MTV served a purpose and a need in it's heyday, promoting artists, playing music for people without having to go out and buy it, shit like that, we have the internet and youtube and itunes and shit now, we don't need it for what it was anymore. If it still was what it was, honestly, we [I]still[/I] wouldn't watch it because just using youtube to listen to specifically what you want or a million and one internet services to find new music is unarguably far superior in every way. It either dies, becomes a much more minor network, or adapts. They chose to adapt. Besides, even if they did play music, all they'd be playing is mainstream stuff like Katy Perry and Justin Bieber and everyone would still be bitching anyway bitch about the reality shows but don't bitch about the music being gone because they have every reason not to play music anymore
Finland cares about pop music? I thought they were one of the major metal producing countries.
If I am honest, I don't even [i]watch[/i] TV anymore, I can literally get everything I got on the TV and way more with less repeats on my computer or even my phone. I wasn't even aware MTV stopped playing music

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;46770588]Finland cares about pop music? I thought they were one of the major metal producing countries.[/QUOTE] Tourism money. MTV Music Awards might actually possibly generate some money, Eurovision cost more than it made us though.

A while later, I learned it's because I share a first name with one of the local Bieber clones.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;46770588]Finland cares about pop music? I thought they were one of the major metal producing countries.[/QUOTE] Metal and heavy metal is popular music. At least in Finland.
Ah Helsinki, the least urbanized city of Europe.. Also forget the 5 stars, we probably wouldn't have enough hotels to accommodate all the MTV awards goers in general.

Build a sauna and put 5 stars on it. Say that it's exclusive Finnish room.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;46768297]Only idiots do.[/QUOTE] a bit pretentious dont you think
