2008 MTV Europe Music Awards

The 9 striking performances along with a funny and “fruity” debut performance by the host Katy Perry, the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards was a blast last night. Between the performances the pranks and chaff  from the VIP bar at the Glamour Pit added to the wit of the show.

The 15th  MTV Europe Music Awards was opened by  Katy Perry, who came riding on  a Cherry Chapstick surrounded by cheerleaders in a performance of ‘I Kissed A Girl’. Beyoncé stole the hearts of millions with her third performance at  MTV EMAs. She fascinated the audience with a heartwarming performance of new single ‘If I Were A Boy’.  Take That was a show stealer even after their 15 years break. They made a come back to the EMAs hypnotizing the audience with an exclusive first performance of their new single, ‘Greatest Day’. The Killers performed ‘Human’ in a steel box installation that came with an arresting three dimensional visual. The versatility of the set  was revealed after the screen was unveiled up to reveal the performance of the band.

Among the debutant performers Kanye West and Estelle both made a remarkable entry. They performed ‘Love Lockdown,’ and ‘American Boy’ in style with full vigor. The Ting Tings, also had their debut performance, who performed their hit single, ‘That’s Not My Name’. ‘So Hot’, the  new single of  Kid Rock, received huge applaud from the audience. Duffy performed ‘Mercy’, which was her debut performance in the MTV Europe Music Awards. The Wombats  rocked the stage with a performance of a cover version of Leona Lewis’ ‘Bleeding Love’, establishing the  MTV’s love affair with Liverpool yet another time.

The closing performance by P!nk added to the grandeur of  the fifteenth MTV Europe Music Awards. Her spectacularly energetic performance of ‘So What’ simply stormed the audience. Raving from the  glamour pit through the crowds to the stage, P!nk  was soon joined by over 30 crazy fans who ended up in a pillow fight. In the end the whole audience were showered with 40,000 4-inch white feathers.
