This Sunday night was the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. It was officially the biggest audience in MTV history and you could see why!
You either love her or hate her but Lady Gaga was her usual effervescent self, or more literally, she wasn’t. Gaga showed up in drag as her new alter ego Jo Calderone, oddly enough, to complain about his ex’s (Gaga) high-heeled shower habits. We know it’s weird, but Gaga is one hell of a performer regardless.
Jay-Z and Kanye West debut awards show performance as the rap-duo The Throne was extremely well received. Only to be outdone by Adele’s heartfelt performance forcing everyone to their feet. Jay-Z shouldn’t mind though, considering his wife Beyonce, confirmed after her own performance, that she was pregnant by rubbing her stomach as the camera cut back to her husband.
Britney Spears received Best Female Video to her surprise as well as the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award, essentially a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The night wouldn’t have been complete without a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. With a touching introduction by Amy’s close friend Russel Brand, Bruno Mars did a rendition of Valerie. Biggest ever you say? We agree.
