The glittering evening of EMAs started with an impressive opening show by Green Day, followed by a medley of the five candidate songs in the category for Best Song, such as the hit «Halo» of Beyoncé and the «Use Somebody» of Kings of Leon, performed by the hostess of the evening Katy Perry.
The Katy Perry gave to the awards for another year her Energy and characteristic humor. She appeared in a series of dazzling dresses inspired by the classic musical set in 1930, Cabaret. The glamorous presenter was very attractive and responded to her part with great flair.
In the middle of the night the show continued with a live connection to the Brandenburg Gate, where the idols of the rock music scene, U2, captivated the viewers with a live appearance before moving to the historic monument, which is a symbol of peace throughout the world, but it is also the venue of the first MTV Europe Music Awards. In front of 10,000 lucky fans, the Irish legends gave a short concert with favorite songs such as «Sunday, Bloody Sunday», «Magnificent» and «One» - the anthem inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989.
In the highlights of the Awards there was of the very sexy interpretation of «Happy» by Leona Lewis, the uplifting version of «Sweet Dreams» by Beyoncé, who appeared dressed in red so literally taking away the breath of the public, and rock anthems «Wheels» and «All My Life» by Foo Fighters. Speaking of hot times, the Colombian siren Shakira raised the temperature with a performance of «Did It Again» surrounded by dancers wearing only towels! Another moving moment of the evening was when Beyoncé took the stage to receive the award for Best Song for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), and asked only one thing to thank her beloved companion Jay-Z who made her happy with their marriage.
