MAMA Awards!!!

This week's news that set the nation abuzz is none other than MNET Asian Music Awards!!! MAMA, an award ceremony held to honour the music industry, was held on 29 Nov 2011. Many popular idol groups and celebrities including BEAST, 2NE1, Super Junior, Girls' Generations, Lee Byunghun, Han Hyojoo, Seung Jiho etc.
Well over 10000 fans attended the 4 hour long event! Before the show, many even went to the airport to 'fetch' their idols and camped at MBS (the official hotel) in hope of catching a glimpse of their idol.

This news, I'm sure, is highly relevant to the teenagers of kpop crazy Singapore.

I myself, was a very fervent and crazy kpop fan years ago (when kpop was not even popular!), but my favorite group (TVfXQ) went on hiatus and I subsequently lost interest :(

However, I still do look out for news and big events. With MAMA being one of the top 3 end year award shows, it is obviously a must-watch!

This post will be a quick overview of the event, but you can click here for the Winners list, and here for the full performances.


2011 MNET Asian Music Awards


1. Red Carpet

Here is Girls' Generation in their beautiful dresses! I love Sooyoung and Yoona's dress!!! Those dress trains are so gorgeous~
Their make up reportedly took 3 whole hours!

BEAST looking cute in their tuxedos and bow tie~

2NE1 never fails to surprise with their stylish dressing! Just look at Dara's exclamation mark hair!



2. Performances

The highlight of this year's MAMA is probably the kiss between Hyuna & Seunghyun. Probably done to promote their new single Troublemaker.


(this clip also features BEAST performing Fiction! ☺)
This kiss definitely generated a lot of interest, and many fans from both camps were horrified to watch their idols kiss.

Super Junior's entrance was amazing!

Their performance of 'Super Man' and 'Mr. Simple' definitely drove the crowd wild with the sitting-in-the-audience and aerial entrances.

2NE1 performing Lonely + I Am The Best

Their performances were the bomb! So much swagger, they are definitely wonderful performers!

I have enjoyed watching this year's 2011 MAMA and it was only more exciting since it was held in Singapore. I hope you enjoyed watching their performances as much as I did!

& this is the news bite of the week!

    personally i dont see why it is called ASIAN when there are only korean and chinese and taiwanese... what about the other countries... so unfair. :(

    Although I'm not a K-POP fan, I'm equally excited that Singapore was the place they held this award ceremony.

    What an honour!

    It is also an interesting quick review of the long award ceremonies, capturing the highlights.

    Thanks,
