A treat to all viewers was a moment
when A-Ha singer Morten Harket joined Pitbull and Christina Aguilera during
“Feel This Moment”. Catch this great
moment here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfpzdNa9UME However things didn’t go so smooth for Miguel
who sure gave a performance that a viewer cannot forget. While singing “Adorn” Miguel took a moment to
jump over a crowd of fans filling an area by the stage. It seemed he had a good
running start however his landing showed otherwise. A young female was kicked in the face while
another’s body was landed on. During all
of this commotion Miguel kept on performing never missing a beat. After all the commotion happened the two
girls seemed to keep low and just walk away while Miguel kept on singing never
missing a beat. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/4688926/miguelbillboard-o.gif
Justin Bieber received the first
ever milestone award and it was not as well-received as one would think. When one wins an award you think the room
would be filled with cheering right? Well that wasn’t the case when it was
announced that Justin Bieber won the first ever fan-voted Milestone Award. Beating out Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift, the
room filled with a mixture of boos and cheers as Bieber took the stage. Justin Bieber’s acceptance speech was terrible
as well. He basically pleaded for
himself to get respect from his peers in the industry. Maybe if he focused more on his “craft of
making music” and less about his tool-like image he would get the respect he
wants. The fact that this was a
fan-voted award also raises suspicion about the results. It appears that although there may have been
a better candidate to receive this award, the crazed fans of Justin Bieber
allowed him to obtain this award.
Prince closed the show winning the
Icon award and joining the ranks of Stevie Wonder and Neil Diamond. This award seemed like it was well deserved
and that they saved the best for last.
Prince preaching his love to the audience seemed like the 70s at their
finest for those of us not familiar with his music.
Overall I feel the Billboard music
awards had something for everyone to enjoy, but it did not seem like an awards
show. It rather seemed like a space to
showcase top 40, big production performances in Las Vegas. It’s no surprise to some that Taylor Swift
took home 8 awards but you wouldn’t know that from watching the show. For a full list of awards check out the list
