Did you watched PSY’s Gangnam Style performance on MTV Europe Music Awards 2012? It was EPIC & I loved it!! The 19th annual MTV EMA which has just ended was an awesome show altogether. The circus-themed awards show which was held in Frankfurt, Germany ended with both Taylor Swift & Justin Bieber being the biggest winners with 3 awards each!

The awards, 2012 MTV EMA was absolutely beautiful  filled with aerialists, pyrotechnics, lasers, elaborate light shows, and a pretty awesome choreography! Personally, I’m glad that two artiste from Asia won an award each – PSY – “Gangnam Style” for BEST VIDEO and Han Geng 韩庚 for BEST WORLDWIDE ACT!!!!

My personal top 3 performances :
Rita Ora – R.I.P.

Totally loved the opening of MTV EMA by Rita Ora where she dominated the stage with the track R.I.P. from her debut studio album ORA. Descending in a gigantic metal birdcage with a full red bodysuit, Rita Ora opened the show with a bang and I liked her attitude during her performance through her vocals.

PSY – Gangnam Style

Already the most popular video in history, the Gangnam Style craze has not stop and I loved how MTV arranged PSY’s performance from the point he was seen backstage at a set which was made specially for him to how he made his way onto the stage and of course towards the ending moments of his performance with a whole group of PSY impersonators!!

Taylor Swift – We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

With Rita Ora opening the awards show in red, Taylor Swift who just h launched her latest album – RED came up on stage to give an awesome live performance of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together which was circus-inspired. It was a beautiful ending, with a great performer like Taylor Swift, the MTV EMA show ended on an AWESOME note with a little magical twist with the circus’ ringmaster, clowns & etc.

Nahh…
Don’t think that Heidi Klum did a good job as the host of the show. Don’t fancy the Hoff at all. Last but not least, I think that Carly wasn’t really good when she perform a song live. Previously watched her performing on Ellen Degeneres’ show and thought she was bad and in this award show again, she didn’t really perform well. No offence to the fans of the names mentioned above, just my thoughts.
