We have that too. In the early years it used to be a running joke off our more respected bands to perform there but to really point out that there's just a tape playing. Including a singer/guitarist who put down his guitar (music kept playing of course) and starting clapping his hands in a way you'd expect from a 'schlager' singer. There was also a band where all the group members had switched places.

It's been a while since I watched it, I think it's just become a slightly more professional, more boring show with cheaper 'artists' than the MTV awards.

They actually showed the part of her performance where she was a bit coherent and following the song.

Pete Doherty seemed surprisingly clean though.
