MTV Europe Music Award for Best Female

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The MTV Europe Music Award for Best Female was one of the original general awards that has been handed out every year since the first annual MTV Europe Music Awards in 1994. In 2007 the award was renamed to Best Solo Artist rewarding the soloists of both sexes, in 2008 the award for Best Female was again eliminated from the EMAs, but it was revived again in 2009 with its original name. Lady Gaga is the biggest winner of the category with three awards.
