Lady Gaga Proves to be the Queen of the EMA

By Michael Lopez

For the second year in a row, MTV's Europe Music Awards were all about Gaga. The Little Monster proved to be Belfast's star of the night, winning tons of awards and shocking the crowd with a provocative moon-shaped dress. Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, and Katy Perry got plenty of cheers too, as did the evening's hostess, Selena Gomez.

Proving herself to be a very capable MC, Selena kept the night rolling with timely jokes, solid presenting skills (including a moment where she was surrounded by flames), and a sexy white dress. Interestingly, Gomez walked the red carpet solo for the event, prompting many to speculate whether she and "The Biebs" had broken up.

Justin also hinted that he was a single man again, making no mention of Selena during his acceptance speeches for Best Pop Act and Best Male Act. He did, however, address the baby daddy rumors that have been plaguing him, saying to the crowd,

"There's been a lot of crap on the internet lately, but I've pulled through it. Thanks to MTV."

Lady Gaga made sure to throw in a few wisecracks too, particularly towards one of the night's big presenters, David Hasselhoff.

"I'm in the dressing room next to you and you have a very big p****," she told "The Hoff" from the stage.

But afterwards, Gaga seemed genuinely humbled by her awards, which included Best Female Act, Best Video, and Best Song for "Born This Way." She also performed one of her newest hits, "Marry The Night" wearing a circular red gown atop a giant moon crater.

Speaking about her "Born This Way" win, Lady G went on to say,

"I knew this was very special when I wrote it, and I didn't know when I first started out as a songwriter how special it would be. It’s the most important single to me."

Other big performers of the night included Bruno Mars (who won two awards), Coldplay, Snow Patrol, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. And though Katy Perry didn't belt out any songs, she did take home the EMA Best Live award.

"It's easy to buy a song, download a song, steal a song. But to buy a ticket and see an act live is real commitment," Katy told the cheering crowd after accepting her statue.

And proving that the EMAs still had some British pride, UK crooner Amy Winehouse received a touching musical tribute and the English band Queen took home the Global Icon prize.
