MTV EMAs Honor Beyonce

MTV hosted its European Music Awards in Berlin, Germany yesterday (Nov. 5), and former Destiny’s Child lead singer Beyonce walked away with the most awards. Held at O2 World Arena in the German city in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 16th EMAs kicked off with a free performance by Irish rock band U2 at the Brandenburg Gate. Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z joined Bono & Co. for the performance as a special guest. German pop-rock outfit Tokio Hotel performed their hit single “World Behind My Wall” and was honored for the third time (after receiving awards in 2007 and 2008), beating out Green Day, Jonas Brothers, Kings of Leon and Black Eyed Peas for Best Group.

Beyonce won three awards at the EMAs: Best Singer, Best Song (for “Halo”) and Best Video (for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”). When accepting the Best Video award, Beyonce told the crowd, “There’s only one person I want to thank and that’s Jay-Z, who put a ring on my finger.” Jay-Z won the award for Best Urban Act later on in the night and told the audience, “I am looking forward to the time when all the walls fall and it’s all only about music.”
