The 2008 MTV Asia Awards took place on August 2, 2008 at the First World Hotel in Genting Highlands in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Pussycat Dolls and British pop sensation Leona Lewis added a bit of glamour and sex appeal to MTV’s Asia Awards show on Saturday, which showcased the best in global and regional music.
The Pussycat Dolls
The Grammy-nominated Dolls, who shot to fame in 2005 with their worldwide hit “Don’t Cha”, strutted their stuff at Malaysia’s hilltop Genting Highlands casino resort, packed with 3,000 fans and industry A-listers.
They were just one act in a star-studded line-up that included Lewis, OneRepublic, Panic at the Disco, South Korean boy band Super Junior, The Click Five and US dance crew Jabbawockeez.
Singing their latest hit “When I Grow Up”, the Pussycat Dolls elicited screams from the hundreds of young fans in the mosh pit with their suggestive dance moves, but the girl group said they were not trying to be provocative.
“We are better prepared this time to perform in Malaysia and we have deep respect for the culture. It is about the music, not about sexy. We are going to respect the people of this country and the culture,” said Jessica Sutta.
The group came under fire last year from Muslim authorities here for their raunchy performances and sexy attire, which earned concert promoters a 10,000 ringgit (2,700-dollar) fine.
Leona Lewis
Lewis, a former winner of the British reality show “X Factor”, sang her international hit “Bleeding Love”, before scooping the prize for Breakthrough Artist, beating out OneRepublic, pop singer Mika and US rockers Daughtry.
“I just have to thank everyone for helping me come so far. I’ve had such an amazing time in Asia,” Lewis said.
