Madonna star of show at MTV awards
(Saturday November 05, 2005 09:06 AM)

Madonna proved she was still the reigning Queen of Pop with a storming performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

The 47-year-old opened the ceremony in Lisbon and showed the younger stars how it was done.

Coldplay and Green Day were double winners and there were prizes for Robbie Williams, Gorillaz and James Blunt. But the night belonged to Madonna, despite the fact she was not nominated for any award.

She performed new single, Hung Up, by bursting from a giant glitterball wearing a purple leotard which revealed her astonishing figure.

The 80s-style leotard was a vintage find which she topped off with ฃ20,000 worth of diamonds on her eyelashes.

Afterwards an awe-struck Robbie Williams - who won Best Male - said: "She looked amazing, I watched with my mouth open all the way through her performance. She's an absolute legend and she makes us all look like amateurs."

And he joked: "I can't believe she's 89 and looks like that."

Madonna's muscle-bound figure prompted show host Borat, aka comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, to say: "It was very brave of MTV to start the show with a transvestite."

Coldplay won Best UK Act and Best Song for Speed of Sound, US band Green Day won Best Rock Act and Best Album for American Idiot, and Williams beat 50 Cent and Eminem to the prize for Best Male.

Cartoon band Gorillaz won Best Group and scored a world first by performing as 3D holograms. And ex-army officer James Blunt won Best New Act after notching up the year's best selling album with Back to Bedlam.
