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.
