You know, I went onto as many computers as possible to rig the poll results so that “Young Love” by Mystery Jets and Laura Marling could’ve at least had a chance. Nope, Tokio frigging Hotel gets the nod instead of, you know, a good song by two great artists.

@ITMS: Danity Kane are extremely awkward everything! Their set at Zootopia was interminable, even though it was only four or five songs max.

That photo you keep using for these posts is inevitably going to start inducing nightmares.

Also, Danity Kane are extremely awkward dancers, particularly Shannon. Maybe that video had some good choreography here and there, but I'll be damned if Chris Brown doesn't win that award.

I bet you money they'll also find their way into Best Rock Video (which among the 5 songs leading the pack in voting right now is..."Run" by Gnarls Barkley? What?).

@Maura Johnston: I don't know whose fans are more rabid: the Jonas Brothers, who threaten to sue Wikipedia editors who remove their edits about "NICK JONAS BEENG SOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!!!!!" or Tokio Hotel?

@Aleb: Beware of saying anything negative about Tokio Hotel and their bigger-on-TV fanbase, lest you be accused of "hating."

How in the world did Tokio Hotel get two nominations? The album sold about 50k, they don’t have a hit single, they can only be seen on MTV… Oh, I get it now.
