Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift shines more in MTV Europe Music Awards 2012

Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift took home three awards each at MTV Europe Music Award 2012. Taylor Swift won for Best Female, Best Live and Best Look whereas Justin Bieber won for Best Male, Best Pop and Best World Stage.

The show was made more rocking with Psy's hit number Gangnam Style which won Best Video.

"This is beautiful. This is my very first time to participate, perform, be nominated, as an Asian artist, as a Korean artist, so I don't know what to say," he told journalists backstage.


He added that his next album would have more English songs on it.

Gangnam Style has been viewed more than 670 million times on YouTube and received a record-breaking 4.9 million "likes" on Facebook since being released in July.

MTV chose a circus theme for this year's awards at the 100-year-old Festhalle venue, and Rita Ora opened the show by belting out her No. 1 British hit "R.I.P." from a giant bird cage.

Despite being billed as the Europe Music Awards, the majority of nominees are traditionally North American, and 2012 is no exception.

Last year's awards in Belfast attracted 23 million viewers on all platforms, while this year's nominations attracted a record 184 million votes online and on mobile devices to decide the winners.
