Billboard Awards 2012
Monday 21st May 2012 | Osh
The Billboard music awards 2012 took place on Sunday at the spectacular MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Performers at the ceremony included Justin Bieber, Beastie Boys, Nelly Furtado and Cee-Lo Green.
Over the last year Adele has launched into super stardom both here and across the pond, so it was no surprise when she became the Billboard 2012’s biggest winner. She took home twelve major gongs with her hit single ‘Rolling in the Deep’ competing in no less than seven different categories.
LMFAO were the evening’s second biggest award successes, they took home seven awards and also opened the show.
The biggest award of the evening, the ‘Millenium’ award which is given out for an outstanding contribution to music was presented to Bobbi Christina who was accepting on behalf of her late mother Whitney Houston. John Legend and Jordin Sparks took to the stage to pay homage to the ‘I Will Always Love You’ star with beautiful renditions of Whitney hits.
Coldplay, Rihanna and Lil Wayne were also among those that were awarded gongs.
