Even after they have been crowding the online world almost every single day in releasing the most loved and most famous hits, the chart-listing Billboard Top 100 still shocks the whole music scene by the yearly Billboard Music Awards. The team had the credibility to conduct this kind of awards night as their main aim is to put-up a list of songs that we have come to patronize no matter how new or veteran the artist or band is.
The Billboard Music Awards took over the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 17, carrying with it plenty of immense names, including Jennifer Lopez, who displayed lots of skin on the red carpet; Taylor Swift, who took home numerous awards; and Chrissy Teigen, who arrived with husband John Legend and hosted the show with Ludacris. Ed Sheeran sat in the audience with Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift while Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea took the stage to perform “Pretty Girls.” All the stars, winners, and performances made for some great moments and to be indelible on the music scene in general.
Taylor Swift won eight out of her 14 nominations, including top artist, top female artist and top Billboard 200 Artist for 1989. Other winners included Sam Smith, Iggy Azalea and Pharrell Williams scoring three trophies each. Meghan Trainor, One Direction, Jason Aldean, John Legend, and Hozier won two categories. Swift premiered her “Bad Blood” music video at the start of the show. Mariah Carey performed at the ceremony, marking the first time she has performed on the Billboard stage since 1998 as well as Britney Spears for the first time in 4 years.
Performances worth remembering includes band Van Halen with the song Panama, Nick Jonas doing a throaty version of Jealous, the aforementioned diva Mariah Carey on Vision of Love and Infinity, recently known artist Hozier on Take Me To Church, United Kingdom’s pride Ed Sheeran with Bloodstream and American Idol biggest winner Kelly Clarkson with Invincible. Some other artists who have graced the Billboard Awards 2015 are Kanye West, Tori Kelly, DJ David Guetta, Simple Minds, Fallout Boy, John Legend, Pitbull, Wiz Khalifa and Chris Brown.
Taylor Swift fans had been floored through their idol’s success in bagging Top Artist, Billboard Achievement Award, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Streaming Video and Top Digital Songs Artist. That’s a whopping 8/8 wins over nominations.
Enrique Iglesias won Top Latin Song with Bailando, Hozier went home with Top Rock Song, Pharell Williams had been happy with getting the Top R&B Song, All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor grabbed the Top Digital Song, Coldplay’s Ghost Stories bagged the Top Rock Album and animated movie Frozen yet won for Top Soundtrack trumping bigger movies such as Fifty Shades of Grey, Into the Woods and The Fault in our Stars.
Justin Bieber, though currently on hiatus, won Top Social Artist sending Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and big winner Taylor Swift to shame.
