Justin Bieber's giant win at the Billboard Music Awards marked a bittersweet moment for the pop star. Recognized at age 19 with the Milestone Award (after also taking top male artist and top social artist), the singer took the stage - and the opportunity - to make a statement . Said an emotional Bieber: "I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically, from my heart, I just really want to say it should really be about the music. This is not a gimmick. I'm an artist [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T15:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960329/billboard-music-awards-2013-watch-justin-bieber-get-booed/
Look, we understand why people don't like Justin Bieber . But for people to dislike him strongly enough to expend energy actually booing him at a function as stale as the Billboard Music Awards ? That was a little odd. I mean, nobody booed Chris Brown last night! Only, like, two people booed Kid Rock for having the audacity to insult the night's lip-synchers. But a sizable number of people booing Bieber for winning a fan-voted award? That was strange. Bieber himself seemed a little flummoxed as the rumble of [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T15:21:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960246/billboard-music-awards-2013-review-revue/
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards are now behind us, but the winners , performances and crazy, neck-breaking moments will live on the Internet forever, for us to dissect. Online critics had plenty to say about Billboard 's annual shindig, this year staged at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. From Miguel 's stage jump to Madonna 's acceptance speech to the surprisingly audible heckling Justin Bieber faced when he stepped up to receive his Milestone Award, the Internet had its choice of topics to cover.

He landed short and his crotch accidentally slammed the head of a brunette fan, who quickly ducked ... read more »]]> text/html 2013-05-20T13:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960011/billboard-music-awards-2013-the-10-best-and-worst-moments/
Well! It was a dreary night at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, wasn't it? There were forty performances each from Pitbull and Will.i.am ! They only gave out three awards! Justin Bieber talked at length about his craft!Host Tracy Morgan sputtered all of his lines and could barely read the teleprompter! Yes, it was one for the books, folks. One for the books. That said, there were still some highlights a handful of exceptional performances and some nice moments of shade-throwing from various members of the pop glitterati and, well, some lowlights.

I Billboard Music Awards non sono solo premiazioni e celebrazioni, ma soprattutto esibizioni: ad animare la serata del 19 Maggio in diretta da Las Vegas ci sono stati moltissimi artisti, premiati a non, che hanno portato sul palco tantissimi generi musicali e diversi approcci alla musica pop. La serata durata pi di tre ore e ha visto le performance di moltissimi musicisti: ad aprire la serata stato Bruno Mars con il suo nuovo singolo Treasure, seguito da Selena Gomez con Come & Get It, [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T07:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4959691/justin-bieber-is-a-serious-artist/
Justin Bieber is very much the Michael Gove of pop, isn't he? Terrifically overpromoted, but without the wit to realise it. So when things like this happen : After performing twice at the Billboard Music Awardsonce solo for his hit "Take You" and once with Will.i.am for "Power"the pop singer took the stage near the end of the night to accept the first ever Milestone Award, but along with the cheers he's used to, Bieber was faced with some heavy booing. ... he has trouble processing what's going on...

Si conclusa da poche ore la cerimonia dei Billboard Music Awards 2013 , i premi istituiti da Billboard in base sia alle vendite discografiche e digitali dello scorso anno, sia in base alle condivisioni di canzoni e artisti sui socialnetwork. Le premiazioni sono state trasmesse in diretta da Las Vegas e presentate da Tracey Morgan. Trionfatori assoluti Taylor Swift , Gotye e Rihanna , che hanno dominato nelle categorie principali.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas yesterday, and with almost 20 performances and double the amount of awards. Well, they don't do things by half in Vegas, we suppose. Anyway, here is a selection of performances from the evening - for a full list of winners, click here : Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne 'High School' Prince - medley Bruno Mars 'Treasure' Jennifer Lopez ft.

Selena Gomez The 2013 Billboard Music Awards packed in a lot of performances during its time on air last night (May 19). Artists like Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber performed with latest singles-some of them even performing twice. Selena Gomez reprised her Indian-inspired staging for a performance of her new single " Come And Get It " while her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber took the stage twice. JB first performed " Take You Out ," and then returned with Will.I.Am for " #thatPOWER ."

Could it possibly get any worse than this? What if will.i.am and Justin Bieber's "#thatPOWER" and Mariah Carey's "#Beautiful" kick off a new bad habit in pop: hashtag hits? Isn't it bad enough that they're already continuing another one: The hashtag hits are the latest in pop's long tradition of bastardizing English with its song titles. As usual the end results are mixed, with only Carey's single coming close to warranting its hashtag hype. The shameless bit of built-in marketing doesn't ruin the fact that it's Carey's best single in five years (since 2008, [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-18T08:32:08+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4957904/classifica-singoli-europa-18-maggio-2013-pnk-feat-nate-ruess/
Spetta naturalmente ai Daft Punk il premio per miglior debutto della settimana nella classifica dei singoli europea del 18 Maggio: la loro Get Lucky featuring Pharrell entra direttamente al terzo posto, diventando cos la pi alta entrata della settimana. Confermato il primo posto di P!nk con Just Give Me A Reason feat. Nate Ruess , e anche Justin Timberlake con Mirrors in terza posizione.

No. 6: "Come and Get It" Selena Gomez As big a star as she is (with or without Justin Bieber as her arm candy), I'm surprised that it's taken Gomez this long to finally score herself a Top 10 hit. I've heard far worse (like her 2011 single "Love You Like a Love Song," which spent forever on the Hot 100 without ever rising above No. 22), but I wish it didn't sound so much like a cold leftover from the recording sessions for Rihanna's first album. No. 11: [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T14:08:33+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956318/noel-gallagher-gli-ivor-novello-awards-sono-premi-importanti-perch/
Noel Gallagher polemico con Justin Bieber e One Direction Qualche mese fa Noel Gallagher ha criticato apertamente Justin Bieber dicendo che il suo gatto pi rock del cantante canadese. Adesso il turno di un attacco diretto (e poco diplomatico) ai One Direction. Il tutto accaduto poche ore dopo la vittoria del premio "Outstanding Song Collection" agli Ivor Novello Awards In una successiva intervista a Nme, l'ex componente degli Oasis ha dichiarato: "E' un evento importante poich pagliacci come i One Direction non sono invitati" [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T12:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956209/2013-billboard-music-awards-a-viewers-guide/
The Billboard Music Awards are doled out based on chart success, sales and touring performance, so you have to respect that they're the one awards show that's at least up front about this whole spectacle being about money and not art. But because they're based on readily available numbers, you know what you're getting. That makes the BBMAs perhaps themost unnecessary of music awards shows (all of which are unnecessary on some level). However! The Billboard Awards are also great because when you're using the charts as the metric for quality, then you only hob-knob with the [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-16T16:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4954688/justin-bieber-frank-ocean-macklemore-and-ryan-lewis-score-o/
The 2013 O Music Awards nominations are out. And reading the list will handily remind you that you are one of the olds. Unless you're not one of the olds, in which case, you'll probably hashtag the eff out of these nominations. Because the awards celebrate "the best in digital music," so of course they act like the trendy cousinand drop a bunch of inside jokes that the Grammys and Billboard Music Awards don't get but laugh at anyway. Case in point: there are categories called Our Favorite Musical Cat, Fan Army FTW and Too Much Ass For TV.

Dopo la pubblicazione del singolo supersexy Come & Get It , che la vede ballare e muoversi con pose decisamente provocanti, Selena Gomez ha lanciato una sfida ai propri fan: tramite un video pubblicato sul suo canale YouTube e un tweet invitante, la giovane cantante americana ha mostrato le prove in studio del balletto di Come & Get It , invitando i fan a studiarne le mosse, replicarne il video e postarne pubblicamente i risultati: Dance Vid #3 this time to [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-15T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4951727/americans-arent-fond-of-justin-bieber-and-chris-brown-but/
Did You Hear? :: A new poll of US citizens found that a majority of us just plain do not like Justin Bieber (54% unfavorability rating, 20% likablity). Same goes for Chris Brown (shocker!), who scored a whopping 57% on the unfavorable scale. The best-scoring pop star was Adele with 54% favorability, which begs the question, who are the unfeeling psychopaths responsible for the remaining 46%?[ NME ] :: The lovely Solange has launched her own label, Saint Records.

Justin Bieber 's Believe tour already had the makings of some Saturday morning cartoon extravaganza the pet monkey , the toppled piano , the bizarre outfits but now it's downright surreal. While the star was serenading his mom on stage at his Mother's Day show in Johannesburg, South Africa Sunday (May 12), bandits were making off with all his concert earnings. In what is being described as an Ocean's 11 -style heist , "involving ropes and chisels to lower themselves into a safe room," the robbers made off [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-14T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4949085/is-beyonce-pregnant-again-morning-mix/
