Annoying craze of the year for sure, but still. Given that it's a fan vote he may well win. :shocked: :)

Best Act Ever.

U2
Britney Spears
Christina Aguilera
Green Day
Tokio Hotel
Rick Astley

...exactly how much crack were they smoking when they nominated that lot? [Edit - who the **** are 'Tokio Hotel' anyway?]

Anyway, Astley will win, as you can vote as many times as you want. Repeat voting + 4chan + rest of internet = Astley winning.

Does look like a pretty poor list for best act EVER!!! :/
Never heard of Tokio Hotel either, but I thought that was just me as I'm not in to my music as much as some of you guys.

Come on.. it's MTV, you don't actually expect them to have good taste in music?

Mwhahaha!

There's been a few naughty trolls on certain groups nominating Rick Astley. I may have been one of them.

No but when they have over 5 decades of music to choose from to name the best musical act ever, you'd think they'd find something a bit more deserving than this - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=llH13hboNYA

I'm surprised the Beatles aren't listed given that its being hosted in Liverpool.

Given that 4chan guys are attempting to put in about 10,000 votes each (Firefox macros), there are two possible outcomes - he wins, or MTV get narked off and DQ him.

I was rickrolled by my car today :(

Opened the door, put the key in, turned the ignition to 'on', stepped back and opened the back door to put my laptop and manbag in and the wireless came on just as Rick started singing. Timing was perfect, I was miffed.

I was teaching a toning class once to 80's music when Never Gonna Give You Up came on and I shouted 'Oh my god! My class has been Rickrolled!'

Sadly no one in the class got it. :(
