Taj Mahal I’ve only been on MTV once as one of their ‘Closet Classics,’ with some bootleg footage of a 1970 tour I did in Holland. They didn’t know what to make of my music, but they finally invented a name for it – world beat music. – Taj Mahal
Tabitha Soren You have a specific, defined audience-at MTV, they assume the audience to the news is 15 to 30 years old and they do a lot of research about the things they’re interested in. – Tabitha Soren
Tabitha Soren I worked at NBC and MTV for two years, and it was very interesting to see the comparisons of audiences and the way that I would have to present a story to the two different places. – Tabitha Soren
Tabitha Soren At MTV, it’s very nice sometimes to be able to be very specific. Specificity really makes a news story interesting because you can color it in that personality. – Tabitha Soren
Tabitha Soren At MTV, although the audience is smaller, I found it more interesting to deliver news to a specific group of people, because my story then did not have to try to be all things to all people. – Tabitha Soren
Su-chin Pak I did MTV so long because it’s been really hard to find a place that has been able to keep my interests where I can do more than one beat. – Su-chin Pak
Stephen Baldwin I’ve been to MTV and all of that worldly stuff. It’s death. It’s meaningless. – Stephen Baldwin
Stefflon Don I’m crazy excited to be performing at the MTV Brand new 2017 showcase! MTV has always been about showcasing new talent, and to be selected by the team to perform on the night is an honour! – Stefflon Don
Sir Mix-a-Lot That was the coolest thing about ‘Baby Got Back.’ The establishment didn’t embrace the song, which is what kept me from being the next pop guy to fizzle out and get laughed at, get dissed on TV. That helped save me. The fact that MTV banned the record made the record, in a weird way. – Sir Mix-a-Lot
Simon Rex I never really got any attention until I was on MTV. I became a household name because I was on every day from 3-4 P.M. I wasn’t prepared for it – how mean they can be in the press. – Simon Rex
Shirley Manson No, I’m not Shirley the girl, I’m the woman on MTV with the big boots. – Shirley Manson
