Samuel Lee of Straits Times was on hand at the MTV Asia awards in Singapore Saturday and was left less than impressed with the affair. Lee said of Mandy Moore’s teleprompter helped hosting job, “What was supposed to be a series of witticisms exchanged between hosts Mandy Moore and Ronan Keating as well as between the various presenters of the awards was revealed to the live audience as a carefully-written script projected onto it.”
Winners at the event included Ricky Martin for favorite male artist, Britney Spears for favorite female artist, and Westlife for favorite pop act.
