At the end of it all, more than 15 performers (a few of them musicians) played for three hours in what MTV billed as the "biggest music event this summer in Taipei." If that sounds a bit like MTV preening its pop plumage, it is. The growing success of both the Formoz and HoHaiYan festivals have ruffled feathers at the network and they seem eager to remind everyone that they're the "world's most valuable media brand."
Maybe next year they can have Katherine Wang chant that between sets. "All together now: World's most valuable media brand! World's most valuable media brand!"
