Spin.com - The MTV Video Music Awards' 15 Biggest Mistakes

2008 - Best New Artist

Who Won: Tokio Hotel's "Ready, Set, Go!"
Who Lost: Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl," Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on My Guitar," Miley Cyrus's "7 Things," Jordin Sparks' "No Air"
For about two weeks in the fall of 2008, androgynous emo band Tokio Hotel seemed primed to take over the music world, but faster than you could say "German Jonas Brothers," common sense was quickly restored and the group returned to being just Europe-famous. However, the lone remnant of their fast ascension to the top was, of course, an MTV VMA for Best New Artist, which prevented Katy Perry or Taylor Swift, two bona fide pop superstars, from taking home the trophy. Mulligan?
They don't know what they're talking about *rolls eyes*
