SINGAPORE: Just who is coming to the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on November 29?
Well, nobody knows who exactly will be turning up yet, but the list of artists who might grace the event has narrowed considerably, following the release of the 2011 MAMA nominees on Tuesday.
A total of 17 awards will be given out at the 2011 MAMA but the categories with the most big name nominees appear to be Best Male Group, Best Female Group, Best Dance Performance Male Group and Best Dance Performance Female Group.
The competition for the Best Male Group award will definitely separate the men from the boys as it is filled with high-powered nominees like Big Bang, Super Junior, Beast, TVXQ and 2PM.
The fight for Best Female Group is no less intense as popular K-pop girl groups SNSD, KARA, 2NE1, f(x) and Brown Eyed Girls go head to head for the award.
Meanwhile, the Best Dance Performance Male Group award nominees largely mirrors that of those for Best Male Group with boy bands Infinite and Rain's proteges MBLAQ in the running while 2PM is left out.
The nominees for Best Dance Performance Female Group award are more of a mixed bag - with SNSD, 2NE1, T-ara, 4Minute, Secret and miss A vying for the award.
One of the two grand awards being given out is the Song of the Year which sees a variety of artistes like Tablo, Hyun-A, FTIsland, CNBlue and IU being nominated for the award.
The other is Artiste of the Year award, which is perhaps the most coveted award at the 2011 MAMA.
There no less than 30 nominees for the award including most of the acts covered above as well as a slew of newcomers like Dal Shabet, A Pink, Brave Girl, B1A4, and Boyfriend.
A spokesperson for event co-organisers MediaCorp Vizpro said the list of attending nominees at the 2011 MAMA is still not known, but even if a fraction of the nominees turn up, this year's MAMA will still be a massive star-studded event.
Tickets to the 2011 MAMA are on sale now.

let's just be optimistic!!!! BIGBANG WILL WIN despite of all the troubles!!! ^O^b
Thanks for the info Vic :]
I think it's gonna be a tough competition, of course Big Bang is good but you know how other fandoms are into voting...
We'll need to try our best and Big Bang might just win both EMA and MAMA!
true./ i feel that if our BOYS win EMA's, All the other awards this year will mean so little compared to the prestige EMA will bring!
Do people still even take these awards/nominations seriously? From the looks of it, EVERYONE is nominated so all the fans will show up.
Considering this awards show is just one big joke/money-making scheme, I'm still a bit butthurt that neither Seungri or GDTOP are nominated.
2NE1 also nominated in 5 categories.....YG FAMILY FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!
Aside from the fact than, that I'm NOT Korean, therefore can't vote, I quite agree with most comments that EMA is more important~
Imagine them beating BRITNEY SPEARS..O_O
That would be ridiculously AWESOME in soooo many levels compared to them beating SuJu,TVXQ and 2pm..
I'm not hatin' just saying, LET'S BEAT BRITNEY FIRST!!!!
kkkk~
Voting is open for international fans =)
hope bigbang will win the ema awards..its much giv honor to bigbang
Tablo should be nominate in best male artist as well, either with tomorrow or bad.
AND WOTWOT, VIPS, don´t mind this until the 4th of november ends though.
i very happy to hear that!!but i a bit of worry that nowdays SJ seem to be popular than BIG BANG cuz they join TV show more than BIG BANG, also i dont think BIG BANG can come and join MAMA net this year as FIVE!!and this year has TVXQ too so i bit worry that BIG BANG can win!!i really hope BIG BANG win and come to preform as FIVE BIG BANG!!so let hope our BIG BANG can make it!!
after voting our asses off in mtv ema round 1, then again in mtv ema round 2... and now Mama awards? damn we're working hard! lol
suju is not more popular than big bang it's just that elf vote more than vips. big bang have more digitale sales in korea at least what mean more public recognition. maybe suju is more popular in the rest of asia but not in korea. in western country big bang is also more popular than suju look at the sales on itunes. personaly i'm happy that big bang don't do so many variety show they are mucians not gagmen
BIGBANG is V!P who creates VICTORY__!!
More votings?? =P
Anyway, EMA's 1st__let's beat BS!!!!!
then, MAMA__beat TVXQ and SJ!!!
BIGBANG, 2NE1, TABLO>>> YG, fighting...

I saw last year's MAMA voting results and believe me we have no chance against ELFs, they are very determined when it comes to voting for SJ. I think that we should focus on EMA, though Britney is a very strong rival.
VIPS lets vote for bigbang in MAMA awards and MTV EMA!! they have been through so much this year they deserve to win.. :)
if we vote like we are voting at mtv EMA big bang can win but knowing vips after mtv EMA i'm sure everyone will return in hitatius lol
LOL! BIG BANG is nominated for MTV EMA, Best Male Group, Best Dance Perfoamance (Male Group), Best Music Video! WOW! Our BIG BANG has its ups and downs in their years, but... It still has the BANG to be nominated in lets just say the Best Music Competions! Its also Song Of The Year and Artist Of The Year! Us VIP's should be proud of ourselves for supporting them in their ups and downs and never lose faith in them even though they sometimes do kind of idiotic things (we are like their parents!) and also be proud of our BIG BANG for being as awesome and great as they can be! and be strong by us VIP's support and create their music and when they release it would and still be the the TOP in music charts cause it is as their name BANG!
US VIP's WILL NEVER STOP SUPPORTING YOU BIG BANG!... NEVER!
vips vote for mama, too. I do not think it will disturb us from voting on ema. mama can only vote once a day, so I dont think this will disturb us... vips we need to beat elf. I am sure we more strong than them.!!
LOL.. VIPs, we are having a hard time now to choose which one to vote XD but i think the EMA is still my biggest priority though. gahh @_@ BB got nominated waay to many. not that i'm complaining though :p
well to summarizes it up, we VIPs just don't like polls. we fail at it everytime cause we are just too damn lazy XD but we did the odds by doing things we don't usually do like EMA for example
btw, to Sea Li Loung , i don't think doing many TV shows, showed the popularity of a certain group. cause BB is actually a lot bigger, i'm not being cocky here but its fact they're bigger than sj the least
VOTE VOTE VOTE JUST VOTE GUYS. THEY REALLY DESERVED
yes, really agree.. i already voted for today ^^
VIPs Let's VOTE for bigbang both in MAMA awards and MTV EMA!!! They are lacking too far behind in MAMA!! Lets make them HIGHER!!!!
VOTE VOTE VOTE !
just don't give up, we don't even know if we don't try, right??
we can vote both, it will not disturb us since we can only vote once a day on MAMA voting, but we can do unlimited voting on MTV EMA, so what are u waiting for VIPs?? just keep voting and let their winning on MTV EMA as the best gift ever for T.O.P :D
Really?? I didn't know that! Thanks for the info! Guess I thought of a different award show, the one where only Korean nationals can vote~ kkkk~

we need all to vote since you can only vote one or twice in a day
i have already voted . our boys need to win at least one award
so fighting
yes you can just go to:
http://mama.mnet.com/en/vote.asp
and creat an account and you can vote
as I get to vote?
BB is really behind on MAMA! VIPS should unite and vote big time! :(
hopefully they will attend this award :D
http://mama.mnet.com/en/vote.asp vote for big bang
300 votes for Bigbang at MTV EMA today; along with voting on the MAMA site for them. Made my non-Kpop friends and sister to also vote for Bigbang and 2NE1 at the MAMA site.
I feel 'accomplished' today !^o^!
How many times can you vote?
You can vote only once a day for the MAMA.
Well, that's what I was thinking... it's pretty much just fans voting, there's no professional judges or anything like how we have the Grammy's. :/ All I know is voting is 20%, I don't know what the other 80% is. if it's based on album sales and crap, I'll be kinda pissed, because I don't want it to be just a popularity contest, I want actual, fair, judgement.
Well considering you can only vote 3 times a day (once by facebook, once by twitter, once by making an actual account), DO VOTE FOR THEM, don't ignore it. Yes, EMA's are much more important, but it won't hurt to vote for MAMA's too. It'll take like 10 minutes at most.
is the awards only based on voting or is it added into sales, etc?
IT WOULD BE COOL IF OUR 2NE1 WIN BOTH MTVIGGY AND MAMA TOO...^_^
I know MTV EMA is so so important rite now...but after going to MAMA site i felt so sad..BIG BANG is either the 4th or the 5th place in all five nominations!!Tats not us VIP'S.. lets vote for the MAMA'S too!
where to vote and how to vote..????
VIPz its time to do our responsibilities!!! lets vote for BIGBANG :EMA AND MAMA!!!! AND ALSO THEIR FELLOW YG MATES 2NE1 AND TABLO well of course for me BIGBANG FIRST THEN 2NE1~~
you can vote through your FB, Twitter and creating an account
chance to vote at least three times :)
True True...All this hard work should pay...BIGBANG must Win!!Fighting!
thanks for posting a link to the website. I would have never found it if I didn't see this.
omg i check the ratings for MAMA bigbang dont even have any leading votes out of all 5 categories...thats sad..:(
okay now haters don't be hating, 'cause big bang is one of my favourite korean music groups, but i'm really surprised that big bang got nominated for the best dance performance (male group) while 2pm did not. i mean, 2pm members are, by far, better dancers than some of the members in big bang. again, i'm a HUGE big bang fan, but i'm just saying
SUJU's leading in the categories. Keep voting guys ! It only takes at maximum 5 minutes ^^
Vote for our BIGBANG on MAMA MNET MUSIC AWARD 2011 HERE http://mama.mnet.com/en/vote.asp.
BIGBANG is losing to SuJu now.......
yes yes. focus more on EMA. its international. but then we still can vote in MAMA too. if they can win all of the awards it would be awesome! :D
we can vote three times?! seriously? i didnt know that. i've been voting twice a day and its only because i have two accounts. haha thanks for the info. now i can vote 4 times a day. hihi :)
WAAH TVXQ!! this is going to be hard >_<
Even though I am voting for Bigbang, I feel that for the 'song of the year' award, they should have picked their 'Love Song' instead of 'Tonight'. Tonight is a good song, but Love Song is just too good. I just don't feel that Mnet picked the right song for that category.
Thank god, that the voting only accounts for 20% of the final results. ELFs can be quite determined when it comes to voting...
Same here. All the other categories make sense, but the dance one, eh... it just seems forced. Even though I am voting for Bigbang in all the other categories, I vote for TVXQ for the dance one, they deserve to win, not the pathetic Mr. Simple dance that SuJu did...
Thank god, Tablo is leading the Best Rap Performance, polls. Yay Tablo! :)
I was thinking the same. For instance most of the songs on GD&TOP and Seungri's albums were faaaaaar better than, lets say ahem ahem.. 'The boys, the boys, the boys ...' and not to forget SuJu's Mr. Simple.
Haha, I think Mnet didn't want to seem too biased or something. Imagine if they did pick GD&TOP and Seugri's songs; out of the five nominations, 3 would belong to Bigbang members only.
Anyways award shows are always bullcrap, but I guess we still have to support the boys (though I have a feeling they dont care much for awards like these nowadays).
We can vote for both MTV and MAMA at the same time. You can only vote once on the MAMA site, so I dont think it would really harm our 'voting schedules' ^o^.
Thanks ^^
LOL. every category?
tonight! such a beautiful night! yeah! BIG BANG! <3
are they will not perform at MAMA?
EMA done.............. now,get our hands to MAMA.. please if u have some tips,share with us
YESSS BIGBAN WON AT MTV EMA AWARDS 2011 LAST NIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!! HUMILIATING BRITNEY SPEARS ^_^
AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO WIN MAMA ASIAN MUSIC AWARDS 2011 THEY ARE NOMINATED AT 5 CATEGORIES: 1.Best Male Group-Tonight 2.Best Dance Performance (Male Group)- Tonight 3.Best Music Video- Love Song 4.Song of the Year- Tonight 5.Artist of the Year-Tonight HOPE THEY GONNA WIN AT 5 (FIVE) CATEGORIES !!!!!!!!! LOVE U GUYS BB V.I.PS FIGHTING !!!!U ARE MY ♥
"one vote for a day.....this is so unfair...i wanna vote more....(T_T)
This is an ASIAN MUSIC AWARD right? I only see Koreans. Not that it's a problem, but it shouldn't be ASIAN when it's only KOREAN, ya know? lol Well I'm happy BIGBANG is nominated in 5 categories, but the sad news is, they are not leading in any of them. It does look good for 2NE1 though. Looks like they're leading in all the cateorgies they're nominated in besides the Artist and Song of the Year... I wonder just how make fake account there is just to vote for this award show. O_o Well, I'm hoping BIGBANG will at least perform? I would love to see them there at the very least. I miss them!!
yeah..let's vote 4 big bang!
