2011 MuchMusic Video Awards

MuchMusic 2011 Awards

I'm sure most of you have probably not heard of the MuchMusic Awards until recently. (Unless your Canadian or you are a Little Monster or Belieber or music/ award show lover). The MuchMusic Awards are an annual music awards show that takes place in Toronto, Canada every June. This years' award show was hosted by Selena Gomez. She did a very good job. 

These people are growing on me. 

Lady Gaga  hits the stage at the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday (June 19) at the MuchMusic HQ in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She literally stole the show. I guess that is incorrect because she was asked to perform. Okay, well, I think the best way to put it is: She made the show. 

The 25-year-old singer performed “Edge of Glory” and “Born This Way” and also picked up some awards!
She opened the show with "Edge of Glory" and closed it with "Born This Way". 

Gaga scored the International Video of the Year Award for “Judas” and also took home the fan choice Ur Fave International Video for “Born This Way.”

“Getting ready to perform on the MuchMusic Awards tomorrow. Thank you to amazing Canadian monsters for cheering us on today in rehearsal!”Gaga tweeted the day before.

Gaga is wearing Atelier Versace and Vintage Versace."

Lady Gaga showed up and took home the UR Fave International Video trophy for her “Born This Way” video, telling the audience, "I love you so much little monsters and Canada! This is the most important award to me because it's from you the fans." Good work Little Monsters.

Justin Bieber picked up the UR Fave Artist award. He said: "Thank you so much! I want to say that the first time I ever got an award was here at the MuchMusic Awards, so I want to say thank you to all my fans ... you guys are amazing, and I couldn't do this without you! I love you so much!"

Comments from users on Youtube:

• "She will go down in the history as one of the best."

• "I'm so sick of seeing people on these older videos saying "I MISS THE OLD GAGA." She hasn't changed. Her style has evolved, yes, as it must. If Gaga didn't change over the last three years, she'd become boring. Fame is complicated. The artist must evolve both musically and through their fashion. She hasn't changed. If you watch interviews, it's still the exact same person talking, just a different styling. The artist must be completely relevant and yet irrelevant at the same time.

• "Clarence and her Grandfather are both looking down and smiling while she is putting a lot of smiles on peoples faces here on earth. Truly amazing."
