2016 Billboard Music Awards

It’s that time of the year again folks when the music world gather to celebrate their peers, in favor of full disclosure I am 35 and grumpy so it is abundantly clear to me that these awards target audience are the pre teen and tween given a few of the winner’s, for example One Direction won over The Rolling Stones, U2, Maroon 5 and Twenty One Pilots?

So this year’s hosts were Ludacris and Ciara the pair did a great job and who better to kick this year’s awards off then Britney Spears, she did a medley of songs including “I Love Rock’n’Roll” and my favorite part of all was Britney riding the mechanical guitar, I must confess I do love me a bit of Britney and she nailed it.

This years other performer’s included:

Fifth Harmony performed  “Work From Home” one of my favorite songs…. Ok and one of my very favorite video clips.. Hot!!

P!nk debut her latest single “Just Like Fire” for the new Alice in Wonderland film and she never disappoints, everything P!nk does is always a visual feast for your eyes

Celine Dion performed “The Show Must Go On” and what a performance it was, the woman is absolutely amazing.

Meghan Trainor preformed “No” and nailed it but that dress didn’t do her justice

Justin Bieber also preformed “Company” & “Sorry” but i have to be blatantly honest I fast forwarded his performance he is a talentless git with a bad attitude.

Lukas Graham performed “7 Years”

DNCE rocked the stage with “Cake By The Ocean” these guys are like this generations No Doubt they did an awesome job.

Demi Lovato performed “Cool For The Summer”

Nick Jonas and Tove Lo did a duet on “Close”.

Shanw Mendes performed “Stitchers”.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani performed “Go Ahead and Break my Heart”.

Kesha got the green light to perform and absolutely knocked her cover of Bob Dylan’s “It Aint Me Babe” out of the park and got a well deserved standing ovation.

Rihanna astounded the audience with “Love on the Brain”

Our own Troye Sivan performed “Youth”

Ariana Grande performed “Dangerous Woman” and ‘Into You’

The Go-Go’s performed “We Got The Beat” and let me tell you the girls have still got it!

Madonna and Stevie Wonder performed a very moving tribute to the late great Prince, Madonna performed ‘Nothing Compares To You’ and I thought she did it justice then her and Stevie Wonder performed ‘Purple Rain’ together and again i thought they both did a cracking job.

Ok so let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of the awards and who won them
