Time flew by. I have survived MTV Europe Awards 2007 that happened today at Olympiahalle in Munich Germany. It didn’t hurt. But I don’t recognise the “new sound of Europe” in Estonia’s The Bedwetters. They competed against Turkey’s Yakup, my favourite bet, and Romania’s Firma.

Bedwetters from Estonia

They are young. But they lack innovation. The saving grace might be that their sound don’t differ from the same bands crowding the radio stations today craving for the fans who favour this kind of sound.

“Everything is possible when you believe in yourself!” Shouted their lead singer Joosep Järvesaar as he and his group finished performing their first single “A Dramatic Letter to Conscience.” It was dramatic indeed complete with his stunning grimaces amidst the jubilating audience. The unsigned Bedwetters won a local band contest this year and was awarded to film their own video. They are scheduled to release their debut album in 2008. The band describes their musical influence from pop to rock.

So who are the winners and the losers? Who brought home the stinky cheese and the MTV trophy?

About Euro Music Talk

This site boasts the goodness of the "happening" music scene in Europe: exotic, experimental, engaging. Whether it is pop, rock or indie. It also covers the European musicians that should be taken seriously by the rest of the world. Often these artists are snubbed due to their foreign lyrics (language barrier?) and musical cheesiness (do all of them yodel or sing chansons?). Most, of all it is everything in between, too. Get ready for the ride!
