MTV VMA's 2011 - Sights & Sounds

- Demi Lovato looking absolutely incredible.

- Adele looking ever more the superstar that she is.

- Bruno Mars performing a fantastic tribute to Amy Winehouse with a swing inspired version of her track Valerie. Russell Brand also doing a spoken word tribute.

- Adele stealing the show once again with another breathtaking and moving version of Someone Like You. Cue another massive push for the single Stateside; I’d be surprised if this isn’t sitting atop of the Hot 100 over there within the next week or two.

- Gaga performing a ravenous run through of You And I with Brian May, performing as her male alter-ego Joe Calderone – supposedly based on an ex-boyfriend.

- Britney and Gaga nearly replicating Britney's girl on girl snog with Madonna a few years back, only for her to reel away at the last moment saying “I’ve done that already”.

- Beyonce stealing the headlines with her baby announcement, with Hova and Kanye sharing a special moment together off the back of her announcement.

- Miley Cyrus and Shaun White presenting an award? Strange.


- Selena Gomez looking scared shitless when Odd Future came up to accept Tyler The Creator’s award for Best New Artist.

- Britney receiving the much deserved Michael Jackson Vanguard award for her contribution to pop music.

- Howcome Eminem and Rihanna’s Love The Way You Lie didn’t win Best Video?? Shocking . . .

- . . . as for Katy Perry, I am pretty sure that Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is a far superior video to Firework (which won the award for Video of the Year . . .

- . . . and the cheese head outfit? Mental.

- Russell Brand paying tribute to his mate Amy Winehouse, and Tony Bennett airing a recent video of their duet together.

- Lil Wayne performing an explosive set, apparently closing proceedings.


- Kanye and Jay-Z “Watching The Throne” with a star studded run through of lead single Otis.

- Some crazy outfits, from Gaga’s male get-up, to Minaj’s toy themed attired, not to mention Katy Perry’s “cheese head” outfit.

- Dave Grohl marking out to the Brian May appearance.

- Justin Bieber winning the VMA for Best Male Video - REALLY?!?

- Tyler The Creator - portrays a bad boy image, but let's face it, was pretty awe-struck by the occasion. His mum also had a bit of a cry after his VMA win for Best New Artist.

- One of the biggest A-list get togethers of the year. The guest list must have surely read like a who’s who of the industry. ALL the big names you would expect were there.

- Brian May sitting next to Wiz Khalifa – the events co-ordinator must STILL be laughing at that one.
