Updated with subbed Behind the Scenes video under the cut.
On November 29, the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards were held in Singapore…
This year’s MAMA, which was broadcasted live through various websites, kicked off with the red carpet event: the girls, dressed in stunning gowns, walked the red carpet with maturity and poise as they greeted fans before the big show. Suffice to say that their dresses more than accentuated their womanly figures.
During the ceremony, SNSD performed a special stage titled “Girls become the Goddess.” The powerful, almost theatrical, opening dance featured the girls split into various units, each group performing their own explosive dance routine (with the exception of (lazy girl) Jessica gliding across the stage on a swing), before coming together in formation of ‘The Boys.’
To the surprise of everyone watching, the familiar music of ‘The Boys’ suddenly transitioned into a fast-paced, overpowering, bracing as hell, electro-heavy remix of their title song. The Korean lyrics transitioned into the English ones, the choreography was expanded upon and embellished, and the girls were now dancing at 1,039 beats per minute. Absolutely outstanding performance from – not a girls’ generation – but a goddesses’ generation. Check it out below.
Finally, SNSD were nominated in three categories for this year’s MAMA, including Best Female Dance Performance, Best Female Group and Artist of the Year. Among the many winners, SNSD took home Best Female Group and the noteworthy Artist of the Year. The girls could not contain their excitement during their acceptance speeches, as they thanked staff, family, fans and everyone at SM Entertainment.
SNSD will return to Singapore for the third leg of their 2nd Asia Tour on December 9 and 10. 2011 has proven to be a truly successful year for our girls. Congratulations!

Great to hear you finally got to see them live Kenneth. Tell me you’re also going to their concert in two weeks, that will REALLY blow you away.
@ RageX (@RageX009)

T^T dude u inspire me.
OH YAA GRATS
They look gorgeous!! Seo Hyun and all SNSD member Hwaiting!!
I can’t believe it! Yesterday 2NE1 & Super Junior were in the lead for these 2 categories. Can’t believe the tides have turned within 24 hours. Excellent birthday present for me! Congratulations to all 9 girls and SONES around the world for sticking with them this whole year!!!!!!!!!
congrats to the girls! i’m so proud of them ❤ & they looked amazing on the red carpet!
Their performances and dresses are really FANTASTIC!!
P/S: Why Seohyun keep holding her dresses at red carpet?
Covering her cleavage because she shy 🙂
Hahahaha~ I was about to comment about that~ She should wear something like Yoona~ ^^
The one who showed cleavage were Jessica,Sunny and Yuri right??? XD
OMG, poor Seohyun, I feel sorry for her. Did she not know until she showed up? Lol, she should have stole one of the bows off of Sooyoung’s dress and taped it to hers.
hahaha xD the whole time I was thinking, “Someone get the poor girl a jacket.”
Well she loosened up, dropped her hand… http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/6ab4d7e5gw1dnm1ewm7i4g.gif minds are blown, and the world is now a better place.

No wonder she covered it up…LOL…and bigger than Sunny i think 🙂
honestly i didn’t expect these awards! 3 weeks ago leading in the poll for Best Female Group and Artist of the Year were 2NE1 and Super Junior, respectively! due to fan wars and connivance, so i gave up voting, haha, and got busy at work, wow! so this is a big big surprise for me! and it turns out, i’m a weak SONE, i’m ashamed of myself, didn’t have the confidence :(, lesson learned! and CONGRATS SOSHI!
LMAO even the biased MAMA couldn’t deny the domination of the 9.
Guys, the winners are not chosen just from fan voting. That would be stupid. For most categories only 10% and 20% of viewer votes were used. But since they do make up a part of the judgement, if you voted, you did your part. So congratulate yourself along with our beloved 9.
Congrats girl’s !!!!!!!!!! I’m proud of you all.. I didn’t expect our girl’s to win even 1 award because of the online voting ranking but instead they got 2 award.. Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
Keep on winning many awards in the future. I LOVE you all very muchhh !!!!! 🙂
SNSD FOREVER !!! …
i was watching this last night when the BEST FEMALE GROUP CATEGORY IS UP i thought it would be 2ne1 butwhen they said SNSD wahhh i was jumping and when the ARTIST OF THE YEAR CATEGORY is next i was praying the whole time i said may be this will be SUJU after i heard SNSD i started screaming eheh 😀
CONGRATULATIONS SOSHI 🙂
whahahah i thought that it was 2ne1 but no it was SNSD hahahah i’m so happy even a see so many bad comments about SNSD….CONGRATULATION SOSHI!!!PROUD TO BE SONE!!keep up the good work sone always be here for you!!
Rather to say Congratz, i would probably say SNSD deserve for the title of the Best Group for the hard work they done more than 10 years
Woah!!! After that performance they definitely deserve it 😀 Congrats to the girls.

Congratulations to the girls for winning one of the biggest awards of the night. They really didn’t need any trophies to prove they’re the biggest driving force of Kpop at the moment, but it was nice to see them getting further acknowledgement from MAMA as well as the fans in Singapore and all over the world. I can’t get over how happy they genuinely are, the rookie mentality never left them, and every award they win feels like it’s their first. A bunch of kids jumping around laughing and crying on stage, it’s just a great sight to see. I really didn’t think SNSD can continue to climb and sustain their growth in popularity for so long. How I love to be proven wrong again.
This is one of the Secrets of why SNSD keep on winning. It is because they appreciate every win they have to the fullest, therefore they keep attracting more wins. They never lose the spirit of appreciation and therefore more and more keeps coming to them. The stream keeps going on and on. They are eternal legends.
I watched it… and when they won both their awards, I hugged my sister so tight she screamed in pain.
Can I just say that even though the girls didn’t have much time to rehearse that remix dance of “The Boys”, it was freaking awesome! I haven’t seen them do something like this in a while 🙂 Truly inspired. SNSD Forever ❤
So proud of my girls. It was awesome Best Female Group and Artist of the year. This year SM took the most reward 5 .
Amazing shiz!!!!!
Finally!! I can say that MAMA is not rigged at all!!
So Nyeu Shi Dae DOMINATING!!!!!!
wow!!!! that concert looked so amazing even behind my awful tube monitor xD
can only imagine how fans felt in the stadium 🙂
Loved what they did with the song, very good performance! And their dresses… so pretty. Last but not least, two awards! =)
i’m filipino and i live in US but i’m so happy that my country recognizes girl’s generation very well 🙂
hey somebody tell me whatsup wit the poll going on at LetsPoll.com/ggconcert.htm???
kyuhyun and taeyeon high five…
Hey guys, found a nice overhead fancam where you can get a much better view of the choreography:
Huh and ya think ya know a gal. I’ve seen these girls so many times far and near and i just noticed their breast sizes o.O? why is that? To be honest I really forgot that they had them seeing that that’s not my main focus when it comes to these ladies. But with those dresses you can’t help but notice them ^^ and i like what i see!!!
Agreed. 🙂
Just re-watched their performance and red carpet video.. just WOW. Flawless angels. ❤ So freaking addicted to them.
I came to Singapore for the holidays with a couple of friends and it was a total blast to watch all of the various K-pop artistes strutting their stuff onstage at an acquaintance’s house, especially the girls. Congrats to ’em on winning one the biggest awards of the night!
… ♥Sunny GO GO GO♥ …
snsd is the best
As Sica would say, “Stress” as she glide down the stage. Congrats to Soshi for their awards!
