2014 MTV EMA takes place this year on November 9 in Glassgow, and the 20th anniversary of MTV’s European Awards show will be hosted by Nicki Minaj.
While the show takes place in Europe, MTV EMA recognizes artists from around the world and across genres, and the network yesterday announced that Nick Jonas will kick things off from Miami the night of the show with a performance of his single ‘Jealous’ from his forthcoming album. As one of the Jonas Brothers, Nick certainly has an international fan base that will bolster his venture as a solo artist. 2014 MTV EMA will be broadcast on MTV channels around the world.
Hosting the Miami kick off show are two social TV stars – ‘America’s Got Talent’s’ Nick Cannon and Molly Tarlov from ‘MTV’s Awkward.’ “MTV is my home away from home and I can’t wait to host the EMA kick off special in Miami,” said Cannon. “Nice weather, beautiful beaches and me- what more could you ask for?”On Monday, MTV revealed the 20 best moments in EMA history in an on air special, which aired across its network of international channels. Now, the network is giving fans the chance to pick their favorite moment at top20.mtvema.com, with the greatest MTV EMA moment of all time to be revealed in a countdown special to air on November 6.
MTV is one of the best networks at generating social buzz in the lead up to events, and with this week’s special, the Nick Jonas announcement, and a fan-selected moments special three days before the show, EMA will likely be another awards success story for the network.
