Billboard Music Awards Kick-Off Sunday With Prince, Madonna, 
Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, More

Living music legends Prince and Madonna will be honored at this year's Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, May 19, at 8:00 ET live on ABC.

"There is nothing small about this Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena airing live on ABC at 8 ET hosted by “30 Rock”’s Tracy Morgan. Just consider for a moment the sheer star power of  those appearing: living legends like Prince and Madonna; pop superstars like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars; and the next generation of luminaries like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Miguel, the Band Perry and Ed Sheeran, among many others.
Prince, one of the most inspirational and influential musicians of all time, will perform at Sunday’s ceremony and is being honored with Billboard’s prestigious Icon Award. Other performers include Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Miguel, Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Selena Gomez, the Band Perry, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Akon, Ne-Yo, David Guetta and Icona Pop.
Madonna will be honored with the Top Touring Artist award, an achievement earned by the worldwide success of her MDNA tour which sold out all of its 88 date run and was 2012's top-grossing tour with $305 million. It's the pop icon's latest chart landmark in a career full of them, including records for Hot 100 top 10 singles (38 of her overall 56 Hot 100 hits) and Dance Club Songs No. 1s (43). Her MDNA album bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 -- her eighth trip to the penthouse -- with sales of 359,000.
Bieber, Swift and Mars are also vying for the Milestone Award, a fan-driven honor that one voter will get to present at the show alongside Cee Lo Green.
Swift, fun. and Maroon 5 top the finalists at the 2013 awards, with each included in 11 categories. Rihanna competes in 10 categories, including Top Artist against Swift, Maroon 5, Justin Bieber and One Direction, while a pair of younger artists -- Carly Rae Jepsen and 1D themselves -- are finalists in nine and eight categories, respectively.
Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements were tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound.
Stay tuned for more special Billboard Music Award announcements this week."

Review of Grammys 2012

This will be fast because I did not enjoy the show at all really.

I only liked Chris Brown's performance.
Nicki Minaj's performance was good but I don't like how she copies Gaga.
Bruno Mars was ok.

Didn't like the rest of the show really.
Don't like Adele or how she won all of the awards and Lady Gaga won none.

The tribute to Whitney Houston by Jennifer Hudson was nice.

Bruce Springsteen, Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, Paul McCartney were treats because they are music legends.

Concerning fashion
I liked Taylor Swift's gold dress.
Carrie Underwood's dress was amazing.
Katy Perry's Blue crimped hair was kind of cute.
Rihanna's Plunging V Black dress was nice and blonde hair didn't look bad on her.

And of course Lady Gaga was gorgeous and I am glad she was there but I am sad for her that she did not win or perform.

GRAMMYS 2011 REVIEW

Here's is my review of the 2011 Grammy awards.

I watched the 60 minutes interview with Anderson Cooper and Lady GaGa and it got me all pumped up to see GaGa at the Grammys



I was excited when GaGa made her red carpet appearance in an giant egg, it was very mysterious and held a lot of meaning.

Then GaGa's performance was pretty good, and again very meaningful and fitting along well with the idea behind the song.

Gaga won 3 awards: Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Short Form Music Video.

 

 

GaGa after the show backstage (Wow Beyonce has gone so blonde!)

As for the rest of the show...

Well I kind of liked the beginning when Christina Aguilera sang the Aretha Franklin tribute with the other girls but she put on a lot of weight!

Janelle Monet & B.O.B. & Bruno Mars was cool and creative, I didn't mind it.

Usher & Justin Beiber & Jaden Smith was ok but I would have rather heard them sing Somebody to Love.

Katy Perry... meh... it was ok.

Cee Lo Green & Gwenyth Paltrow.... Wow I didn't know Gwenyth could sing and she is actually pretty good, she's in the wrong business ha ha!

Eminem & Rihanna could have been good if Rihanna had practiced how to sing :(

Rihanna & Drake... again Rihanna needs to practice her voice some more.

I loved Nicki Minaj's outfit, so cute.

Loved JLo's hair even though it's probably extensions

Oh and big shocker.... I was like why is Johnny Depp at the Grammys and then I heard it's John Mayer and I'm like whattttttt??? They could be twins!!!

 

Interesting show I guess but somewhat disappointing and little bit of a waste of time. I don't know who picked the Grammy nominees and especially who picked the Grammy winners... but they messed up big time.

A lot of artists and songs that got nominated shouldn't have been. There were better choices than the ones they picked. And the winners from those terrible choices were even worse. Maybe the Grammy committee people picked winner names from a hat, it seems to be the only logical explanation for this abomination of a show... I'm still so shocked.

Album of the year..... Arcade Fire??? Are you joking me! At least give it to Eminem if you're gonna steal it from GaGa.

BOOOOO! 

Here is GaGa's Grammy performance from last year to bring back some old memories
