Lady GaGa Sets The Stage On Fire at Much Music Awards

Lady GaGa stole the show at the Much Music awards in Canada as she gave an electrifying performance in more ways than one.The electro-pop diva took to the stage in an exploding Madonna-style bustier armed with pyrotechnics, which went off as she performed a racy routine with dancers dressed as police officers. GaGa, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, gyrated on stage in the barely-there ensemble - which she teamed with tiny black knickers, studded gloves and knee-high spiked boots - as she sang a medley of her hits Love Game and Poker Face.

The 23-year-old later took home the award for best international video artist award for Poker Face.Meanwhile Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie turned heads in sexy black hotpants and a matching top with cut outs.The singer also brought out her Wolverine-style claws for the occasion, accessories she first donned earlier this month.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and singer Kelly Clarkson also appeared at the eventful show which was hosted by US teeny-boppers the Jonas Brothers.Kardashian, who was sporting a sleek bob hairstyle, looked stunning in a black and white striped dress.She later revealed on her Twitter account that she had been 'channeling Marilyn Monroe.'

'Fergie just told me I look like the brunette Marilyn Monroe!' she wrote.Clarkson on the other hand, opted for a garish orange number which may see her appear on the worst-dressed lists.But it was rock band Nickelback who swept the awards, as their hit Gotta Be Somebody won for best video, best rock video and best postproduction.

Nickelback and R&B artist Danny Fernandes led the contenders with five nominations each. Fernandes went home with the pop video trophy for Private Dancer.The best international video award for a Canadian artist went to Billy Talent for Rusted From The Rain, and rapper Classified picked up the best hip hop video for Anybody Listening.
