Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet
Creed, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Christina Aguilera and Bon Jovi will perform on the show. Metallica will test the online voting process, performing whichever song is selected by viewers.
"For us, it was just a fresh approach to a form that we felt was getting a little bit tired," he said. Nearly 3 million people have voted for winners, according to VH1.
Sykes said he was intrigued by the idea of an awards show without envelopes accounting firms or behind-the-scenes experts that nobody knows. The-growth of the Internet made it possible for viewers to do it all.
In addition to traditional categories such as man, woman, group and song of the year, VH1 is trying to have a little fun. Viewers will give "awards" for the most entertaining public feud, the sexiest video and the category, "your song kicked (butt) but was played too damn much."
Because VHI's target audience of 25-to-34-year-olds is older than MTV's demographic, expect a comparatively sedate affair. But it's still rock 'n' roll, with the band Creed leading with nine nominations and Red Hot Chili Peppers with seven.
VH1 to launch music awards show tonight
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — VHI's sister channel, MTV, holds a successful awards show each September that is better known for the flamboyant antics of music stars than for the meaning of its trophies.
"We'd been waiting patiently to find the right opportunity to launch an awards show that didn't look like anybody else's," said John Sykes, VH1 president.
For a decade and a half, VH1 has been content not to even try competing.
Today, however, the network is getting into the awards show business. My VH1 Music Awards, with categories designed and decided by viewers voting online, will air live at 9 p.m. ET from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
