[WATCH] Billboard Music Awards Recap: Chris Brown Explains Bad Vocals, Performances + Full List of Winners
Sunday evening, some of the country’s top artists, took to the stage, performing at the Billboard Music Awards. Some of the highlights and lowlights included an accidental kick by Miguel and some questionable vocals by Chris Brown.
And on the plus side, we watched folk like Prince own MGM’s stage, afro and all. A few light-hearted and ‘interesting’ moments went down, like Madonna asking will.I.Am. to hold her sunglasses and Kid Rock calling folk out for lip synching. Anywho, check out some of our favorite performances.
