MTV Asia Awards 2008

I wasn't there because I have some other stuffs to do back in Kuala Lumpur. Me and my dudes missed out the chance to grab the special MTV invitations a few weeks back. Well, having other important commitments for the works in Uni were the main priorities on Saturday. I know it's been a while since my last update, though!!

Anyway, music fans from all over the Asia will definitely not miss this event held in The Arena of Star, Genting Highlands. The 6th MTV Asia Awards was first held in Malaysia after for so many times it was held in Singapore or Thailand. This year's event was hosted by the front man of 30 Seconds To Mars, Jared Leto and also by Karen Mok.

So the night started with some hot performance that woo more than 3,000 audiences in the hall. The winner of TV show America's Best Dance Crew, JabbaWockeeZ opened up the night with a staggering dance performances. Then the stage was heated up by The Pussycat Dolls with their latest hit, "When I Grow Up". Also performing were Leona Lewis, OneRepublic, Panic At The Disco, The Click Five, The Script and Super Junior.
