We’ve been “Rickrolled!”

Over twenty years after his hit single went to No. 1 in 16 countries, 80s pop star Rick Astley has been nominated in the category Best Act Ever as his fans take his hit single ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ literally and flock to write-in his name as a nominee.

Rick Astley – in his first ever nomination in the history of the MTV Europe Music Awards – will compete against Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Green Day, Tokio Hotel and U2 for Best Act Ever.

The finalists in the Video Star category were also revealed today as selected by MTV - with Madonna receiving her only EMA nomination this year for ‘4 Minutes’. She is battling for the Award against 30 Seconds to Mars, Santogold, Snoop Dogg and Weezer.

Here are all the nominees for Best Act Ever and Video Star:

Best Act Ever: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Green Day, Rick Astley, Tokio Hotel, U2

Video Star: 30 Seconds to Mars – ‘A Beautiful Lie;’ Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake – ‘4 Minutes;’ Santogold – ‘L.E.S. Artistes;’ Snoop Dogg ‘Sensual Seduction;’ Weezer – ‘Pork and Beans.’

Vote now to determine who will win in Best Act Ever and watch on 6 November to see who MTV chose for Video Star.


Dear Internet, you are ridiculous.

After reading this I was trying to imagine the worse public event to be rickrolled, maybe the opening ceremony in the Beijing Olympics?
Ya well, at least I don't fuck a fleshlight with a condom on and cry at the same time.

Sometimes it seems like everyone knows what a rickroll is, but I don't think it's as common as you might think. A few months ago, as a joke I started singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" to my brother's girlfriend, and she had no idea what it was.

you can vote unlimited times on their site, so most likely he can win, just make a script to just continuously vote.

They probably filter it out by ip, but if you add a reconnect to that script you can vote with every IP your ISP will provide you with .

Why do people cling to year old internet memes, thinking it's the most epic thing ever?

When everyone else on the fucking planet doesn't know what the fuck you're talking about, and just wants that gay song to go away.

God I hate the internet so much.
RIP Aaliyah

If you vote once, it says please vote again to ensure your favorite person wins, so i dunno, they may filter them at some point but you can at least vote a few times and have them keep.
