Girls’ Generation received the Best Female Group Award and Artist of the Year Award at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards, held on November 29th in Singapore.
The award show, broadcasted live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium, included a red carpet event in which Girls’ Generation donned dazzling dresses and stunned viewers worldwide. Twitter users immediately responded, as “Omg SNSD” and “Girls Generation” quickly trended worldwide.

The award show also featured performances from many K-Pop artists, as well as artists from all over Asia. Girls’ Generation delivered an epic performance consisting of a “Girls become the Goddess” stage, as well as a remix of “The Boys” containing both English and Korean lyrics. The members displayed a powerful opening dance during the “Girls become the Goddess” stage, while demonstrating a lengthy dance break and their vocal talents during “The Boys”. The white dance outfits, the extended choreography, and fast paced remix caused widespread excitement among both fans attending the event and viewers worldwide.
In addition, Girls’ Generation also attended a press conference before the award show. They expressed their excitement at being able to perform at MAMA in front of their Singaporean fans and answered several questions presented by journalists from several different countries. The questions ranged from subjects such as their concert tour, producing more tracks in English, and even how long it takes to get their hair and makeup ready for performances. Perhaps most importantly, when asked how they envision themselves in five years and whether or not they would still be in the industry, Tiffany answered “I think we’ll all still be together, definitely still in the industry. We’re not going anywhere”.
With both the Best Female Group Award and Artist of the Year Award, Girls’ Generation once again has shown their incredible popularity and musical talent. Congratulations to Girls’ Generation! Check out the red carpet appearance, amazing performance, acceptance speeches, and press conference below.

i wasn’t be able to watch the MAMA because my timezone is way to different. But i watched the red carpet tho.. makes me so happy when i saw SoShi came out from the van, after i waited for almost 1hrs..that was 3 a.m in my time, so i went to bed after watched the red carpet. I woke up the next day, my twitter full of my friends letting me know SNSD won the best female and artist of the year. I am very happy and so excited! because i thought they not gonna make it according to voting number. i always voted everyday, but i saw 2ne1 always at the top. I still cant believe this! hahahahaha..so happy!!! They performance also unbelievable!! i keep playing that video.. :p
Congrats SNSD! proud to be SONE!!

SNSD jjang!!! Love SNSD forever!!
My tears seems to flow unwillingly without me noticing when i watch this.
After being a S♥NE for 4 years, this event just really made me so happy to lead the life as a S♥NE.
Seeing them progress all the way from INTW to this really made me happy.
From years back when I watch MKMF 2007, i was sad that they did not win, same for the year after and so on.
I just tell myself to have faith, endure, to give endless support and one day i will see them make it there.
What happened yesterday made my tiny little effort pay off. It was priceless.
Thanks girls for doing such a great job!
Thanks for sharing such great voices to all of us S♥NEs.
Keep fighting as we S♥NEs will be putting our all in you girls!
Forever 9!!!!!!
Firstly, I want to say congratulation for the girls. Their performance was amazing. Their outfits at the red carpet were beautiful.
Secondly, I want to say that i thought that SNSD wouldn’t win this. Because in the voting, 2NE1 wins the best female group and DBSK wins artist of the year. I think the only wrong in the voting system is that they shouldn’t allowed people to vote many times. But then SNSD wins after all. When SNSD received the the awards, I thought, SNSD will not come to MAMA for nothing because they will definitely bring awards home.
Thirdly, I see Taeny when they hand in hand together running up the stage.
Finally, because SNSD happy, I’m happy and I bet that SONEs are happy too.
It’s a tight competition between SNSD and 2NE1. It’s very hard to believe that SNSD won. I will be happy till the end of this year.
Congratulations, SNSD! Wohoo! It was definitely well-deserved. *sniff* The remix performance was pretty good, although the intro part should have been better rehearsed. Nevertheless, I’m so happy the girls did great! They further proved that they’re Artists of the Year!
we born to win better tell all your friends ~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chokaaaa chokaaaaa unnnnnnnnidellllllll <3

Wow, stunning. Sunny totally rocked the dance stage at the end!
Somebody please tell me they’re going to release this as a dance remix single, that would be too awesome.
And poor Seohyun on the red carpet! I saw it mentioned on SNSD Korean site but I don’t know if anybody mentioned it here what she was doing with her hand. Lol….

Aissh !! Jessica :D ! Y U Wear Smexy Outfits Lately ? :( Anyways Good Job Everything Went Well And All The Hard Work Didn’t Go To Waste ! CONGRATULATIONS ! I LOVE YOU GIRLS ! :D ! SNSD JJANG !

I knew they said their performance was gonna be remixed but wasn’t expecting it to be that epic! They really surprised me! I was so happy to see them happy running to the stage when they won! Fany could not control herself jumping up and down! Lol. They are so cute!!!
the filming for the performance was awful, i mean concentrate on the girls, sure the stage was cool but the girls are infinitely better…. but apart from that the girls performance was AMAZING! i can’t imagine how much and practice they must of done to achieve this level of AWESOMENEST during their packed schedule and all >< loved their costumes, they look like warrior princesses with get up and strong performance.
can not wait to see them perform again!!!! ooo and CONGRATS for the awards, they truly deserved it!
I’m left speechless after that performance :O
I wonder what the winning speech was and Sica and Fany are so cute jumping around like little girls behind the others as they give their speech. Congratulations to Girls’ Generation you’re hard work will always be rewarded by Sones. Keep working hard and I’m sure next year will be very interesting as well ^^ SNSD Fighting!!! The performance was AMAZING.
That was priceless!! I hope someone got a clearer fancam shot of them jumping up and down. What’s even more funny is seohyun had no clue they were doing it behind her. lol.
of course they would win. Do you know who they are? They are Girls’ Generation~ So its natural for them to win. Taeyeon n Jessica n Yoona are so beautiful out there on the stage. The remixed ‘The Boys’ totally captured me. Despite the small accident that Yuri’s shoulder pads fall off.
Yeah, that was the best moment of my life when I watched them perform last night :”>
only topped when they won best female group and artist of the year! :D
SNSD Fighting!!! :D
i’m so proud of them they deserve this award that performance was just amazing the best one in my opinion :D and the look so beautiful <3 love our soshis SNSD jjang!!!!
I knew it was a good thing when SM patched up their relationship with Mnet!
more awards for SM stars!! hahaha!
and true enough, SNSD got Artist of the year!!
so happy and proud of them!
they looked so pretty on the Red Carpet! i wanna know who they’re wearing!
as for the performance, it could’ve been better…
but props to them for presenting the remix and the dance break at the beginning which was opened by Sooyoung and Seohyun! ♥ it!
