From the good to the bad to the full-on crazy, we always appreciate

One gorgeous baby mama. Newly pregnant

Two candy-colored 'dos.

Four Katy Perry costume changes. From left, the singer in Atelier Versace, Tom Ford, Christian Dior and a custom dress adorned with broken records.

One songstress dressed in drag.

Seven Oompa Loompas. Oh wait, that's just the cast of the Jersey Shore in all their glittery, shiny glory. But where is Situation!?

Two broken feet. Why is Tyler, the Creator wearing no shoe you ask? The Odd Future frontman broke his foot earlier in June and apparently felt it would be better to give it some room to breathe. Now why is he wearing that trippy cat, tie-dye shirt? That, we do not know. Jessie J, on the other hand, worked the crippled look with jazzed up cast and crutches.

Four textured black ensembles. From left to right: Zoe Saldana in Barbara Bui, Britney Spears in Moschino, Selena Gomez in Julien Macdonald and Adele in her signature retro-inspired look.

One sexy librarian. Yes, the Biebs certainly is one sexy librarian.

There were minor highlights--such as every one of Selena Gomez' eight outfit changes--but it's mostly just a parade of insanity. Click through to see the best of the EMA's awesomely bad shenanigans.
