KUDOS ON ANOTHER AMAZING AWARDS SHOW. RPM - Monday September 25, 2000 -11

Denise Donlon oversees it ail.., except the weather why awards shows are very formulaic around the world is because it's the easiest way to do it. The The MMVAs: A different kind of awards show band comes on stage, plug 'em in, go to podium, model walks up with award, applause from the crowd, person runs on stage, cut to commercial. by Ron Rogers growing scope of the awards, she and her staff are That's typically the way it's done, because from a It's that time of year for the folks at the Nation's more than ready for the challenge. technical point of view, it's the most manageable.

We added the red carpet building, we have stages all over the building, The MuchMusic Video Awards are just one part aspect to it, we had the pre-show, and just some technically, it's huge. But, touch wood, so far, so of the craziness that ensues at 299 Queen Street West different elements within the body of the show. And good." this time of year. As this is September, it also marks we were really happy with the way that turned out. Speaking of touch wood, there's that little So we're trying not to mess with it this year. We've question of the weather, asubject Donlon preferred got more bands on this year in terms of physical not to even venture into. So far, the weather hasn't numbers, and the entourages are bigger, which is a caused any real problems, but... huge challenge for us." "It is outside. And every year so far has been Having said that, Donlon knows that no matter good, but many of our events are staged outside, how big the awards seem to be getting, there from SnowJob on. So Ithink I've become alittle bit are still going to be people in the industry more familiar with the satellite weather map than who are left out, who don't make THE list. someone normally in my position would be." Add in the fact that those artists that When looking at the MuchMusic Awards, its are presenting or performing often require easy and obvious to compare them to the recent their own small entourage, and it's MTV Video Awards, which took place in New York understandable why some people just can't several weeks ago. be extended an invite. In their effort to ensure a street-wise image, "We typically invite people who are MTV may have ventured just a tad over the top. nominated, and the presenters and Hosts the Wayan Brothers chose to flash the Fword performers, and then there are people in at every opportunity, and the artists presenting and the industry who have the biggest part to performing seemed to go out of their way to display play in it. And unfortunately, that leaves some people out who were ahuge part of the show last year, but physically, we just can't handle everybody. So it requires some Solomon-like decisions, and we just can't accommodate everybody. "The record companies are coming with the artists themselves, and the artists need to be taken the launch of their new season of programming, and care of, and chauffeured and maneuvered, and all the end of their fiscal year. As vice-president/general of that. So you may see one person on the stage, but manager Denise Donlon says with a sigh, "it's generally speaking there's an entire posse behind typically hectic." them, getting them there. There's some of them that The MuchMusic Video Awards are not only the really understand the awards, and will just come and highpoint of the year for Much, but they have quickly hang, which is perfect." become one of THE events on the Canadian music The casual, party-type atmosphere of the industry calendar. Typically, the Much headquarters awards does take a little getting used to. Artists are flooded with phone calls in the days and weeks mingle with record industry types, they in turn leading up to the event, as those not on the list try to mingle with the media, and for the most part, get on the list. Add to that the fact that record everyone leaves any attitude they may have at the companies are trying to squeeze in as many artists door. they can onto the list of presenters and performers, For artists that are used to the royal treatment and it's easy to understand the frenetic fervor that at awards shows, the MMVAs are something entirely surrounds the Much World Headquarters. different. But as Donlon points out, most artists Denise Donlon As the woman overseeing the entire process, heading to the awards know what they're getting acrass and profane image. MTV, like Much, claim Donlon finds her own schedule jam packed at this into. that they're not targeting children, but it's afine line time of year. Unlike most award shows, unlike any "Generally speaking, Ithink the whole format when you feature performances from artists such as awards show for that matter, the Much Awards are a of MuchMusic and our 'everyone's welcome' kind *Nsync and Britney Spears, who have gained ahuge logistical nightmare, in many ways. The MMVA of philosophy is really well known now. So the audience among pre-teens. format, which means no podiums, no stages, no audience kind of knows what they're getting into, Donlon agrees that there is a very thin line formal audience setting, is unique, but it also makes because usually they've all been here before. Not between cool and crass, hip and hostile. But trying for agreat deal of planning. for the awards necessarily, but they've been in the to place too many confines on the show would also "The preparation starts about the end of May," environment, and they know that we don't really detract from the show's spontaneity, which no one notes Donlon. "That's when we start figuring out cloister anyone. So if they're nervous about that, wants to see. Take away that spontaneity, and the thematically where we're gonna go, and start taking then they're probably not here." MMVAs might not be too much different from every alook at the kind of show we want to put on. That's The MMVA format has been such a success other awards show. when our first meetings start to happen with the for Much that one might find it surprising that others "I think the joy and celebration, in many cases, design crew." haven't followed suit. The 'no-stage, no-podium' is when you can capture the spontaneity.

"When you get into asituation like this, it is a deal different from that surrounding the MTV show. Judging by the size of the awards last year, and technically challenging show on every level, because Artists attending the MTV Awards seem intent on the size of the crowd in attendance, one might think you've got an awards show within aparty. And there making a statement, while artists attending the that the awards are starting to get alittle too big for isn't just one stage where everyone's being rigidly their britches.

ANDREA MORRIS -Song Corp. BRILLIANT DISGUISE ... some of the industry's Bruce Springsteen Ijust love the single camera shot...the way it starts with the wide shot and slowly moves in until his face fills the screen. Brilliant! The emotion on his face as he favorite music videos sings is incredible. Heck, if you didn't know his marriage was over, you sure did when you saw this video! It is such a simple, but effective video, and Ilove the starkness of black and white filming. In conjunction with the 11lb annual MuchMusic Video Awards on September 21, JUST RPM conducted a quick survey of the industry. The question was simple...what Radiohead are your three favourite videos of all time, and why. Here's what folks had to say. Great concept. Great band. Great song. Everytime Isee this video, it inspires the ROB CHUBEY -EMI Music Canada discussion -'What is he saying at the end that causes everyone to fall on the JUST -Radiohead ground?' So groundbreaking and clever. The song itself is more like background music to SLEDGEHAMMER the close-captioned short film that unfolds. Just one of several videos from this BIG TIME band that could make my list. Peter Gabriel WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME -U2 Okay. Iknow this is four videos and not three, but these came out in the same A simple live-action clip shot atop a building in Los Angeles that captured an time frame, and they are both wonderfully innovative videos. excitement and presence that few 'live' videos do.

The vid's a masterpiece. The artist, while arguably talented, (including this song), this video was brilliant in the way that it fused animation Icould do without. with camera-shot visuals. The first of its kind in special effects for , ILOVE IT LOUD and worth a mention. Kiss DENNIS GARCES -Universal Music Canada Enough said... love the part where the kid's father gets his newspaper torched by SAVE A PRAYER -Duran Duran Gene Simmons' firebreathing.

STEVE WAXMAN -Warner Music Canada FINE TIME -New Order REBEL YELL -Billy Idol It's very rare to ever see it! For my money, it was the first time the excitement of an artist's live performance KILLED BY DEATH -Motorhead was caught on video. Absolutely hilarious! Lemmy gets buried...his girlfriend cries at the funeral, her DANCE DESIRE -Haywire father is laughing. Then the unspeakable happens...Lemmy rises from the grave First or all, it was afun video to work on. Secondly, it captured the essence of the riding a Harley! He then rides to (or should Isay through!) the girlfriend's house band at that time. to interrupt dinner and pick her up at the table on the bike! As she jumps on the SEX TYPE THING -Stone Temple Pilots back she turns around to give her family the finger, and they ride off together!
