| MTV Names Adele Rolling in the Deep & | 20:33 |
British singerAdelemay be on a vocal rest, but she is still being vored by her ns. Her hit single Rolling in the Deep won the title of 2011s Best Song. She beats even Lady Gaga, Katy Perry andNicki Minaj(who won second place). You can find Adeles happy response in the video below and also the clip about Nickis song Super Bass taking number 2. However, in the mean time this is what Adele emailed to MTV to thank them for winning the honor.
Thank you very much for your support! It&8217;s overwhelming how many people my life has resonated with. I find it quite hard to wrap my head around it. I was pretty insistent it be a snicki minajingle. But I thought it would be more a tastemaker vibe than a hit,I loved the song the minute I wrote it. The melody and the beat added some conviction to it. I think that&8217;s why people have connected with it.
Happy holidays, And see you next year.
I am so happy for Adele! This is a great way to end this year after having to take time off for her voice. I am sure she will make up for it next year, but I am just happy that she can enjoy this huge honor. She certainly has earned her spot in my opinion. I am sure that she is excited to come back and thank her ns for their unyielding love for her.
Do you think that both Adele and Nicki deserve the top two spots? I think that they do, but I am surprised that they both beat Lady Gaga. It seems to be such a surprise that is nice for them and their ns alike. I suppose people rather hear about love or a lost of love than powerful dance songs that some might not support. Either way I am happy to see that they get their chance to end this year on such a high note.

| Katy Perry, Adele, Nicki Minaj Rule MTVs Best Of 2011 | 20:58 |
Forget ladies night; its the ladiesyear.All week, MTV has been counting down ourBest of 2011, and Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Adele definitely had us talking during our roundtable debates.
Perry had the biggest year of them all, being crownedMTVs Artist of 2011. To be Artist of the Year, a whole 365 days, thats pretty cool,Perry said in her acceptance speech.Minaj landed at 2, with Adele, the Throne, Lady Gaga and Rihanna also high on ourArtists of 2011list.
Adele might not have topped our Artists debate, but there was no denyingher Rolling in the Deepwas theSong of the Year. Minaj fell just short of the prize again, withSuper Bass nabbing the 2 spot, and Rihannas We Found Love, LMFAOs Party Rock Anthem and Gagas Born This Way were also part of our MTV experts roundtable debate.
But why should we have all the fun? ForBest MTV Live Performance, we turned to you, asking ns to vote for their vorites among standout sets from Mac Miller, Beyonc&233; and Lil Wayne. When the votes were tallied,30 Seconds to Mars Unplugged performanceof Hurricane andParamores Brick by Boring Brickat the Fueled by Ramen anniversary show landed at 1 and 2, respectively.
We kicked the week off celebrating a formerly niche genre that really broke through to the mainstream in 2011: electronic dance music. A lot of dance artists have become household names, like deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia, but at the end of theBest EDM Artists of 2011debate, it was pop superstarDavid Guetta at 2and five-time-Grammy-nominated DJ/producerSkrillex up top.
Why end the debate now? Share your picks for the Best of 2011 in the comments below to keep the conversation going!
This year has been an unexpected one. I honestly thought going into it that Gaga and Britney would rule the year. My expectations were extremely high for the two. I am shocked but congratulate the sucess of Adele, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj. They were underdogs of this year and left on top. Britney and Gaga still did great but not compared to what I expected. Its nice to see MTV recoginzes these womens accomplishments. I cant wait to see what suprises 2012 will hold. Happy Holidays MTV Staff.
