Billboard Music Awards: Justin Bieber Booed and Taylor Swift Dominates

Well, the Billboard Music Awards were certainly interesting last night, at least as interesting as an award show can be. Not surprisingly, Taylor “I am a f–king princess” Swift dominated the entire night. The 23-year-old won a total of eight awards, including top artist and top album. And, of course, she seemed so shocked every single time she won. Really Taylor, really? Are you really not use to winning by now? Let’s be real here. I will say that the way they revealed her win for “top album” was pretty neat. Fans in the mosh pit area held up cell phones that spelled out the title of her album, “I’m really happy about this.” she said.

She also told the crowd, “You are the longest and best relationship I ever had.” I’ve got to hand it to her, the girl is good. She knows how to work a crowd and how to make people feel sorry for her. “Aw, poor Taylor! Always getting her heartbroken.” I’m not falling for that crap, though. She’s just too damn picky! And everyone knows she is just going out with people now in hopes that they’ll break her heart. She is going to be a 70-year-old still singing about how Larry from the bingo hall stood her up for brunch on Sunday.

Anyway, Justin Bieber was also at the award show and he also won a few awards, but something funny happened when he was accepting one of his awards. Bieber was booed by people in the crowd when he took the stage to accept the “Milestone Award.” Bieber seemed a little annoyed by the booing.  He told the crowd,

“I’m 19-years-old; I think I’m doing a pretty good job. And basically from my heart I really just want to say it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft that I’m making. This is not a gimmick. I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken.”

Bieber is right! It should be about the music and the music only, but it’s not…which is why Bieber is so damn famous. Justin Bieber should feel extremely lucky that “real music” has nothing to do with it anymore. You just need a pretty face, a nice smile and a voice that can be digitally enhanced. Anyway, while awards were handed out last night, it was the performances that made everyone watch.

Justin Bieber performed with will.i.am and Selena Gomez took the stage to sing her new hit, “Come & Get It.” Macklemore performed his mega-hit and now award-winning “Thrift Shop” it won top rap song last night. Nicki Minaj “classed” things up when she gave Lil Wayne a lap dance on stage during her performance. Lil Wayne seemed to be enjoying himself, and we’re sure his ‘Lil Wang’ was enjoying the lap dance, as well.

It was truly a magical night, but I think Kid Rock summed it up best when he said, “Let’s give it up for people lip-synching under pre-recorded music.”
