MADRID (AFP) Americans cleaned up at the MTV Europe Awards in Madrid on Sunday, as Lady Gaga picked up three top prizes and awards crowned Katy Perry, Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber and half a dozen U.S. outfits.
The U.S. diva Lady Gaga received her trophies, for female artist of the year, best pop act and best song for “Bad Romance,” on stage in the Hungarian capital Budapest where she was performing to a packed concert audience.
“This means so much to me. Europe I love you,” Lady Gaga, who bagged a slew of prizes at the U.S. version of the awards in September, told fans via a live link, switching between sets from a leopard bodice to a see-thru nurse outfit.
The Canadian-born Bieber, who shot to stardom after his songs were spotted on YouTube, was named best male act at the awards ceremony, based on a vote of 46 million people and hosted live by “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria.
