  • Miley Cyrus Will Perform at MTV's European Music Awards, Network Hopes Shenanigans Draw Viewers

    If something works, don't go changing it. It's a common maxim that MTV is employing during its planning of the MTV Europe Music Awards. The network announced on October 17 that Miley Cyrus, who was the "highlight" of the summer's VMAs, would be performing at the European event as well.

And that was in New York City. Imagine what she could do in Amsterdam, the host of this year's EMA ceremony.

The estimated $2.4 million deal would have included tours and other programs, but then it went kaput.

Fullbrook's resounding vocals entranced the crowd, building and releasing like waves coming and going out to sea. We caught up with Tiny Ruins for an exclusive Q&A.
