MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS 2011

The annual MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) was held few days ago, honoring the creative art depicted in the music videos of today. The MTV VMA draw millions of youth from teens to 20-somethings each year. This time, MTV Asia had invited some bloggers and media over to their MTV hub in Singapore on Monday to catch the live broadcast of the MTV Video Music Awards 2011 (VMA 2011); along with VJ Utt & VJ Holly, the live viewing party pretty much gathered the entertainment freaks and enthusiastic writers/bloggers around the region. It was great that MTV decided to flew us to Singapore and take care of our expenses

First time having to step foot into the MTV Asia office, was greeted with a MTV Video Music Awards sign…

Many had arrived earlier as some of them were pretty stoked at catching the live show. Breakfast was also provided for us as the live screening started early in the morning.

MTV VJ Utt & VJ Holly ‘hosted’ that small-scale viewing party, but it was all good as everyone was hyped up with the screening.
