Would Kanye beat Lady Gaga in a battle for "worst album cover"?
If the MTV Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, Grammys, Academy of Country Music Awards, BET Awards, Country Music Television Awards, etc. aren’t enough to satisfy your craving for long, boring music awards shows, you’re in luck because MTV has just announced plans to debut the new O Music Awards.
This unconventional music awards show may be the only actual music-related program left on the network that recently officially removed the word “music” from its name (the “m” in MTV now, presumably, stands for “mediocre”).
MTV’s new O Music Awards program is officially described as being “The ongoing, open and online music awards,” which we’re pretty sure means this showcase is dedicated to online time killers and the like, which might give Rebecca Black a chance at winning an MTV trophy of some sort.
If there is a category for “worst album cover revealed via Twitter,” there might be a decent showdown between Lady Gaga’s horrible Born This Way artwork and Kanye West’s faux-controversial nude painting for the cover of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
(Download music from Lady Gaga and check out the hideous cover art for Born This Way portraying Gaga as half woman/half motorcycle, here.)
MTV’s O Awards will be handed out in Las Vegas on April 28. Fans will vote for the awards nominee online, prizes will be handed out in 20 categories, including Best NSFW Music Video, Must Follow Artist on Twitter, Best Remix, and Best Fan Cover. Complete list of categories and voting details, here.
Below, nominated for Most Innovative Video, Arcade Fire’s clip for “We Used to Wait” creates a personalized movie featuring scenes of the viewer’s childhood home when they enter their address, here.
