When Katy Perry dons a corset and surrounds herself with dancers in retro lingerie...Well, she could be doing almost anything.
But on this occasion she was mashing together the Best Song nominees at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Hosting the shindig in Berlin for the second year in a row, Perry got the party at the "Katy Kat Club" going with a cabaret-style medley of Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over," featuring Kelly Rowland, Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody," Beyoncé's "Halo" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."
Perry's "Poker Face" was a little more wild-eyed than some, but she had the pantsless Gaga thing down. A little less bodysuit and we could've seen her halo.
But though all those acts got the proverbial girl-kiss from Perry, it was Beyoncé who stole the show with three wins for Best Female, Best Song and Best Video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," and she was the night's final performer.
Check out a complete list of winners after the jump:
