MTV EMA Belfast 2011
On Sunday, 6th November 2011, Belfast, Northern Ireland, held the fabulous party of the MTV Europe awards 2011. The singer and actress Selena Gomez hosted the ceremony, in which all the winners were awarded. Without any doubt, the best artist and the biggest winner of the EMA´s was the always bizarre, Lady Gaga. She won the awards of: best female artist, best song, best video and artist with more fans in the pop world. She didn´t disappoint and appeared in the pink carpet with an atypical dress and an oversized hat which covered her face. She sang in the gala and all the public became “little monsters”, as she calls her fans.
Other awarded artists were: Justin Bieber (best pop singer and best male artist), Bruno Mars and Thirty Seconds to Mars(best alternative group), Eminem (best hip-hop artist), Linkin Park (best rockers) and Katy Perry, who picked up the trophy of the best live act, but she was the biggest loser because she only won one of the six awards which she had been nominated for.
The best of the party were the awesome performances of some international artists. For example, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez´s boyfriend, who sang “ Never say never”; David Guetta, the most famous Dj at the moment; Lady Gaga, who sang from a big moon; Bruno Mars; Red Hot Chili Peppers; Jessie J; LMFAO; Snow Patrol and Queen, who received the global icon award and have been the guests of honour this year. The British band Coldplay was first on stage and opened the EMA´s. The most emotive moment was when Jessie J remembered her friend Amy Winehouse, who died four months ago.
It was an amazing night, with many surprises: balloon release and dry ice, lasers, projections and outlandish clothes which complemented the artists´ performances. Year after year, these awards get to surprise us.
