“Hyper as usual!
We recorded this a few minutes before we won Best Alternative at the EMAs… For some reason we couldn’t get it to upload at the venue. Though, I guess it wouldn’t have been funny if we didn’t win… hahaha. But since we did win, I’m posting it here now! Thank you guys, once again, for allowing us to dream bigger than we even think is possible. Tonight was a blast. And we’re so thankful we got to share it with you!!
[edit] please tell me that worked ?!”
As you probably know, tonight were the MTV Europe Music Awards 2010! And yes Paramore won an EMA for “Best Alternative”! I’m so proud of them! (: I’ve uploaded some pictures into the gallery. Most of them are LQ or MQ but I’ll add some HQ ones later.

It’s been a good run so far for the rock band Paramore and its latest single, “The Only Exception.” The song peaked at No. 24 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart in August, is featured in videos on MTV and VH1 and was highlighted in an episode of the TV show “Glee.” It even topped the music charts in the United Kingdom.
But a sour note has been struck in U.S. Middle District Court, where a Florida-based indie band is suing Paramore for allegedly copying one of its tunes.
The Only Exception,” sounds too much like its own tune, “Starlighter,” which preceded the Paramore song onto the market by three years, the Tenspoke Indies claim.
Hearing the copyright infringement case is Judge Christopher C. Connor, whose sense of pitch might be called into play if the case hits the courtroom.
The Tenspoke Indies is suing not only Paramore and its Los Angeles-based members Hayley Williams, Josh and Zac Farro, Taylor York and Jeremy Davis, but also Paramore’s label, Fueled by Ramen, recording giant Atlantic Records and its parent company, Warner Music Group.
The faces of the shoppers in the lift are a picture. They recognise the tiny girl with the neon orange-and-yellow hair who has just got in at level three of the mall in West Hollywood but, this being LA, they have to be cool. They can’t let on that it’s Hayley Williams! Of Paramore! The rock band from Franklin, Tennessee who have, since their inception in 2004, sold 4m albums! Finally, one of them, a surfer dude – all baggy shorts and goatee – can no longer contain himself and he starts furiously composing a text, one that you can just imagine is about to be sent from his phone to Facebook’s entire Californian emo contingent.
Williams hardly notices the blur of fingers across keypad – she’s used to excited reactions. Only sometimes do they frighten her. Such as the ones four weeks earlier at the Reading festival, where Paramore supported Blink-182 on the Sunday night. There, from the side of the stage, I got a band’s-eye view of the furore as the four Paramore boys went through their paces and Williams stalked the stage, a small yet commanding presence. I saw the lengths their fans would go to touch their heroes – there was a constant procession of kids being stretchered out by security, as though it was their duty to brave the crush.
“There’s an intense, crazy amount of energy being exchanged,” she says as we depart the lift and head towards her favourite health-food restaurant – she shares her time between Franklin and Los Angeles, where her boyfriend Chad Gilbert, of the pop-punk band New Found Glory, lives. What happens when it gets too much? “It’s kind of empowering to stop everything and go: ‘This show is totally insane right now, but I have to stop it because you guys are hurting each other. It’s a little bit too nuts.’”
This heightened sense of jeopardy is part of the thrill for Paramore’s followers. Williams – who has just come from the chiropractor because, as she explains, “I head-bang so much I’ve kinda messed up my back and neck” – appreciates that the band offer a lifeline. “We get notes like: ‘Two weeks ago I tried to kill myself, then I heard your song and it made me feel like I don’t have to give up yet.’” Once, a girl sent two bracelets to their fanclub, one of which she had been using to cover the scars where she cut herself – until she discovered Paramore’s perfect storm of serrated riffs and pain-wracked lyrics. That’s quite a responsibility, isn’t it? “It is,” she agrees, “but it also makes you feel like, if music is that powerful, why would you ever want to do anything else?”
It has been quite a long time since we checked in with Paramore singer Hayley Williams, one of the most beloved stars of the MTV News Twitterverse. Her recent activity has been pretty heavy, as she has had a bit of down time. Paramore have been gearing up for a European tour (which kicks off this Saturday, November 6 in Dublin, Ireland and will include a stop at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards, which are this Sunday, November 7 in Madrid, Spain) and taking care of a video for “Playing God,” the new single from their still-rolling 2009 album Brand New Eyes. All the while, she has managed to keep her followers entertained and informed with tweets about parties, food and boyfriend Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory.
Like 999,999 other people this week, Williams picked up a copy of Taylor Swift’s Speak Now(though unlike most of those people, Williams probably has Swift’s cell phone number). “Just picked up #SpeakNow and we’re rockin’ it in the car,” Williams tweeted last Monday, the day that Speak Now hit the streets. “So stoked for @taylorswift13!” That was a big music day for Williams, who went to go see States that night. “If you live in Nashville you should be going to see @statesmusic tonight!” she tweeted. “And if you’re not, then we’re kicking you out of Nashville.” She was later blown away by singer Mindy White’s vocal chops. “Holy Mariah. @statesmusic is killing it at their 1st show ever and @mindywhite’s vocals are ridiculously insane!” she wrote.
It wasn’t all music and shows though, as Williams spent some time enjoying the domestic life, eating dinner with her mom, catching up on the new season of “Dexter” and hanging out with her sisters. She also took in a hockey game with her boyfriend. “Went to the Preds game tonight!” she tweeted. “They lost but me @JasminLayne and @XChadballX got on the Jumbotron so that made up for it!”
But when Halloween rolled around, she really kicked into gear. Not only was her costume incredible (she went as Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” with Gilbert dressing up as Jack Skellington), but she also put a call out to anybody dressing up as her (and created the briefly trending hash tag #hayleyween).
The latest update? The band wrapped up work on the video for “Playing God” and are getting ready to conquer Europe yet again. And even if you can’t get out to Liverpool to catch them in concert, you can always follow along with Hayley Williams: Twitter Champion.
