Well, you know... She already won a Norwegian "Grammy" correct? And that was a strong recognition of her musicianship/songwriting, and I think far more prestigious than "Best Norwegian Act" in an "MTV" teeny bop contest. So, yeah, either way, I'm a little disappointed though because Norway ought to realize (right?) that AURORA is a world recognized figure now, and I... me... I've never heard the other one's music (or DJing, as it were), nor have heard his name before. I'm not knocking him, I've just never heard of him, that's all
dePresno I know! Silja Sol I know! LOL

Alan Walker had one huge worldwide hit with "faded" in 2015. That`s all. His music is typical for the MTV-Generation. Unlike Aurora who is really special and that is a good thing.

Maybe I made the impression, but I don't really care about the MTV awards either. I agree with what you say except maybe the recognition part. It is very easy for us to think that Aurora is recognized all over the world, when we follow all her shows and read everything about her, but truth is she's still not that well known outside of Norway.
Take Kygo who was also nominated: He has more than 2.2 million likes on Facebook, he has had shows in more countries around the world than Aurora, his most watched video on his official VEVO has almost 367 million views alone, he performed at the closing ceremony at the olympics and last month played two sold out shows at the Hollywood Bowl. Yet I bet most people on this forum had never heard of him. (except when Aurora mentioned him when she asked people to vote) (I'm not a Kygo fan btw.) ( AksWarrior would love him though since Kygo looooves making remixes. ) (Did I put too many sentences in brackets? xD) (Just using some more brackets) (Braaacketssss!)
On the other hand, I'm Norwegian and had never heard of Alan Walker either, so what do I know.

Thanks understars71 ! Well, "faded" is a pleasant sounding song! Reading a little info, I see Alan Walker is well known, in many countries, even charted in the US, but somehow I missed it. Well known, Just not to me LOL.
(that doesn't sound very nice if misunderstood) because actually, I didn't mean any disparagement towards teens (I was one), just towards the "MTV music industry" of late, but particularly the American music industry. The overall industry has been disappointing to me for a long time. (this is why most of my posts in the "other music" board is searching backwards and discovering music in prior decades).

True, of all the people I have spoken to about Aurora, only one had heard of her..... my ex wife,....... go figure,.....
Take Kygo who was also nominated: ( AksWarrior would love him though since Kygo looooves making remixes. )

*Note to self: Avoid Kygo!
