You'd think in an era where songs get played out before they even are released this practice would be close to extinction, and yet the myth of 'new' keeps perpetuating itself.

I've never been so bored by an allegedly "sexy" video.

Also, shouldn't there be some standardization for what comprises a "new" artist. I mean PB&J's first album came out in 2004.

Gym Class Heroes gets nominated for their third album, and Amy Winehouse gets nominated for her second album.

It should be renamed "Best Artist We Just Noticed This Year."

I saw that video on MTV2 maybe twice, and there's a dozen similiarly clever concept videos for popular songs that could've taken that spot.

And surely "What Goes Around" is the worst Justin video they could've nominated, if they were dead set on picking one of his. It pretty much ruined the song for me.

I really like them but it's more pandering than anything else. It's pretty much the equivilant of the people at MTV saying, "We still listen to music here! Honestly we do!" You should only be able to hand out a nomination if you actually played a band's video or at least mentioned them on air.
