The MTV Europe Music Awards turned into a celebration of Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga Sunday night as the two picked up a number of top prizes, including best male and best female act.

Lady Gaga swept up at the MTV Europe Music Awards on Sunday evening. The singer won the awards for Best Female and Best Song , Best Fans and Best Video for Born This Way.

Their live performances captured the differences between the two ascendant mega-stars: the teenage Bieber, wholesome and almost impossibly cute; Gaga challenging and aggressively sexual in her approach.

The event, held in Belfast's Odyssey Arena, was described as a 'game changer' for Northern Ireland's capital. Andrew Irvine, the manager of Belfast city centre, said there was a "palpable sense this will change a world view of Belfast."
