I can’t believe that a year has passed since the 2014 Awards where Jennifer Lopez received the Icon Award and last night, Billboard did it all again! 2015 was clearly the year of Taylor Swift as she walked away with eight awards last night. Sam Smith, Pharell, One Direction, Enrique Iglesias, Meghan Trainor and Jason Aldean were all big winners of the night as well.
I love the Billboard Music Awards because it is a show that is really all about the music and has some amazing performances. Nicki Minaj performed with David Guetta, Britney with Iggy Azalea, Nick Jonas performed his smash hit ‘Jealous’, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth performed their number one smash ‘See You Again’ and there were tons more.
The show repeats tonight at 18:30 on Channel O.

I’m tempted to make a bitchy comment about one of the winners but I will behave because music is like beauty, in the eye/ear of the beholder.
