billboard music awards

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards were full of stellar performances from stars of every imaginable genre and style -- like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Chris Brown and more!

For Carly Rae Jepsen, her smash hit song 'Call Me Maybe' is the gift that keeps on giving! Her feel-good anthem took home the award for Top Digital Song at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

Macklemore + Ryan Lewis won Best Rap Song for 'Thrift Shop' at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards tonight (May 19).

Selena Gomez followed an impressive performance by Bruno Mars on tonight’s (May 19) Billboard Music Awards. The young songstress stayed true to her ongoing — not to mention controversial — Indian-inspired theme with a live delivery of her latest single, ‘Come & Get It.’

For the umpteenth time in her career, Nicki Minaj is taking the old boys club of the hip-hop world and turning it on it's head. With her win for Top Rap Artist at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, she seems to be usurping the throne from rappers of the past.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards kicked off with a bang in the form of Bruno Mars. Mars and his Smeezington buddies were clad in red pants, red jackets and black shirts. He let his curls run free, not topping his outfit with his usual fedora. There were horns, guitars, drums and, of course, that voice!

Members of high-profile former couples, no matter how cordial or amicable their split, don't usually sit next to one another at industry awards shows. In fact, they often can make the request to event producers to put distance between themselves and their exes. That's not what's happening with Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

Carly Rae Jepsen followed Justin Bieber (who helped bring her to prominence in America after discovering her song on the radio in their native Canada), by performing ‘Call Me Maybe’ on tonight’s (May 20) Billboard Music Awards.

Usher brought the sexy with his sizzling performance of ‘Scream’ at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 20) in Las Vegas. Usher appeared on stage looking like a chap from London. He was dressed in throwback tuxedo suit and top hat — talk about being dressed to kill.

Not long after treating viewers to a performance of his latest hit, ‘Turn Up the Music,’ Chris Brown walked away with the R&B Artist of the Year title at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, emerging from a group of contenders that included his ex, Rihanna.

These worst dressed pictures from the 2012 Billboard Music Awards don’t necessarily include the most poorly dressed pack we’ve ever seen, but there were certainly a few artists who fell short when it came to their ensembles.

Cee Lo Green joined forces with his rap group Goodie Mob to perform ‘Fight to Win,’ a new track from the newly reunited hip-hop icons at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. While onstage, Goodie Mob seized the moment and paid tribute to the Beastie Boys‘ Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch.
