Lady Gaga stole the show at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast on Nov. 6 by scooping four prizes, best female, best song and video for her "Born This Way" as well as the biggest fans award. |
The flamboyant 25-year-old New Yorker won in the categories of "best female," "best song-and-video" for her hit single "Born This Way" and she also took home the "biggest fans" award.
Artist Lady Gaga said : "I knew that this song was very special when I wrote it and I just didn't know when I first started out ... how special you would all be to me. This is the single most important song that I've ever written and the single most important album. I love you little monsters to the end!"
Canadian teen sensation Justin Bieber was among the other multiple winners, picking up "best pop act" and "top male singer."
Los Angeles rockers Thirty Seconds to Mars won "best alternative act" and "best world stage," as did Bruno Mars, honored as the best new act and "push" artist who was promoted by MTV as an up-and-coming talent.
