MTV 2010

The 17th annual MTV EMAs unfolded in typical jaw-dropping fashion with a Carnival-style opening number by international superstar, Shakira – who brought along British rap star Dizzee Rascal, a riotous clash of dancers and a whole ton of confetti.

Meanwhile, fellow Best Female nominee Rihanna transformed the stage into a surreal Magritte-inspired tableau with her rendition of ‘Only Girl (In the World)’ and Miley Cyrus commanded the stage with her sophisticated performance of ‘Who Owns My Heart.’

The centrepiece of the EMA set was a massive 3D metallic cube that played on the theme of a magic box to go with the name of the venue. Kings of Leon used it good effect - stunning audiences with a spine-chilling rendition of ‘Radioactive’ while illuminating the auditorium with piercing light. Meanwhile, hot new acts Ke$ha, Plan B and B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams spun it around to give three massively awesome performances.

The Caja Magica was not the only place rocking tonight. Three mega-acts took over Spain’s historic Puerta de Alcalá, performing in front of close to 100,000 fans. Katy Perry gave an explosive rendition of her hit ‘Firework,’ Linkin Park’s entire hard-rocking set will be appearing on an episode of MTV World Stage in December, and surprise guest Kanye West stunned fans by showing up to perform with Thirty Seconds to Mars during the EMA Red Carpet Show.

We couldn’t talk about our show without mentioning our amazing, gorgeous host Eva Longoria who wore a ham dress, used her ‘Bieber Button’ and even stripped down to her lingerie – all in the name of being a hilarious, sizzling EMA host.

Finally, the entire show ended with an epic rock medley from Global Icons Bon Jovi – who proved once and for all that they deserve their Award like no other!

The news affects me because I was stuck to the program until they give the awards.
I like singers who were nominated to win and so I stayed.
The performances of the singers were incredible.
To my friends and we would very much like the upcoming awards are made in Barcelona. Surely it would go.
