Lopez, who was been out of the spotlight of late, appeared to have returned to form at the event, performing a medley of her hits and claiming that the triumphant night was "only the beginning" of her comeback. Previous recipients of the Legend award include Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince and Elton John.
Although not present at the show, Lady Gaga took home the most awards at five, including Best Single and Best Album, while Will.i.am accepted three for his group, the Black Eyed Peas, who were named the World's Best R&B, Hip and Pop act.
