By now pop's chart behemoths have all packed their bags and left the party that was last night's Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas behind. And every site seemed to have an opinion on how the event went down — from the choice of hosts and recently-deceased artists who were given tributes to the performers and, of course, Miley Cyrus ' barely-there white blazer. Head below for a roundup of what the Internet had to say about the big music bash. :: [...]

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards were as flashy and over-the-top as one would expect from a show located in Las Vegas. Artists sang from the stage, from the sky, and from the audience. (We saw you singing along to "Fight For Your Right (To Party)", Carrie Underwood !) Three fallen artists were paid tribute to, Chris Brown brought his bikes, and Katy Perry brought her grandma. It all made for a jam-packed evening, though we must admit that [...]

Before Cee Lo Green and his reunited Goodie Mob crew physically took to the MGM Grand Stage during their "Fight To Win" performance at the Billboard Music Awards , a one-legged dancer in military garb arrived on crutches and proceeded to wow the audience with jaw-dropping moves. Then a wall was lifted and the quartet, decked out in all white, belted out their new inspirational new single. Afterwards — and eeping with the "fight" theme — Cee Lo yelled, "Yo, Billboard Awards — get your [...]

On one hand, we were glad to see Donna Summer honored at last night's Billboard Music Awards following the disco diva's death at age 63 last week. But unlike the Beastie Boys and Whitney Houston tributes, the one for Summer was cut way too short by a commercial break. (Even Bee Gees member Robin Gibb , who passed away yesterday , got a full moment of [...]

(Picture of LMFAO receiving Song of the Year Award.) Last night's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas was a diverse and memorable evening loaded with pop featuring some incredibly moving moments, impressive comebacks and powerful musical statements by some of pop's biggest idols. I was in the audience just a few rows away from the action on stage to witness (and tweet ) every single second of it. One of the most memorable moments of the night was anp incredibly [...]

Katy Perry - Getty Many of the biggest stars in pop music gathered at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last night (May 20) for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. Before making it inside the venue for the big show, which included performances by LMFAO, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry , and Chris Brown , the stars graced the red, erm, white carpet. Katy, who was honored with a special award for her record-setting and -tying five No. 1 singles from her album, Teenage Dream , matched her purple locks with a [...]

Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder The 2012 Billboard Music Awards almost had as many performances as it had award categories. The performers ranged from first timers to seasoned vets. Boy Band-or man band- The Wanted had parts of the audience swooning to their performance of "Glad You Came." Following Justin Bieber 's performance , his pal and fellow Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen sang her infectious single "Call Me Maybe." Goodie Mob -which includes the always entertaining Cee-Lo Green - gave a truly awesome performance of "Fight [...]

Can someone give Chris Brown the award for best dancer already?

Were you glad The Wanted came to Las Vegas' MGM Grand to perform at the Billboard Music Awards this year? Did Justin Bieber have you wishing he was your boyfriend when he took to the stage? Were you wide awake to see Katy Perry swinging and singing from the rafters? We could go on and ask if you turned up the music for Chris Brown or were blown away by Carrie [...]

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards are in full swing.  Justin Bieber picked up the first award of the night for Social Artist, thanking his manager Scooter Braun, his mentor Usher , and, of course, all his fans. After a moment of silence for the passing of Bee Gees ' Robin Gibb , Katy Perry took the stage to accept the Spotlight Award. "This is cool! They told me the only other person who's received this [...]

Amidst all the lovely ladies who made entrances on the 2012 Billboard Music Awards red carpet, there is also at least one gentleman with style to spare — Justin Bieber , who brought his typical swaggy adulthood to the affair. The little businessman looked a bit squinty, possibly due to thousands of flashbulbs going off in his face, possibly due to Miley Cyrus ' blinding white outfit and the sunlight reflecting off her bronzed bare chest. Whatever the reason, it's not [...]

To be surprised that Taylor Swift looks this lovely on a red carpet would be like Taylor constantly being surprised that she wins virtually every award she's up for, but still, we're wonderstruck yet again by the country songbird's seemingly effortless style and grace, sexed up in a rouge shade that puts the 2012 Billboard Music Awards red carpet to shame. She's definitely got our "Eyes Open" tonight! [...]

Katy Perry was a vision in purple as she arrived at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday (May 20). Prior to stepping out onto the red carpet, the pop star tweeted , "My date to tonight’s Billboard Music Awards is hotter than the las vegas weather. SMOKIN’!” So just who was this sexy escort on the recently divorced,  Part Of Me star's arm — perhaps in an effort to make ex-husband Russell Brand jealous? Her [...]

LMFAO LMFAO got the 2012 Billboard Music Awards party rocking with an opening performance at the big awards show which is going down tonight (May 20). To get folks shuffling, they whipped out a medley of hits that started with "Party Rock Anthem." They danced along with their skinny pants and then moved along to the next hit, "Sorry For Party Rocking." They ended with "Sexy And I Know It" and had everyone around them-including a pink bear and zebra-taking off their pants and wiggling their behinds. LMFAO come [...]

Whoa! Who's that hot MILF on the 2012 Billboard Music Awards red carpet? Oh, wait... that's 19-year-old mother of zero, Miley Cyrus . Always a head-turner, Miley's all-white ensemble seems to be taking a page from Rihanna 's "no shirt, no bra, no problem!" playbook, but that haircut is all primed to take the kids to soccer in the nearest minivan. (That blazer would be awfully matronly if Miley were wearing anything underneath it.) We're not sure if she's trying to seduce [...]

Carrie Underwood is more than just a "Good Girl" , on the 2012 Billboard Music Awards red carpet in Las Vegas on Sunday night (May 20), the American Idol alum looked like a princess out of a Disney movie. With her long blonde locks, the pale blue strapless dress with its insane amounts of poofy tulle, we're surprised Carrie didn't complete her ensemble with a pair of glass slippers. See one of tonight's BMA performers (and recent Idolator interviewee ) as she poses with hubby [...]

Jordin Sparks flashed a big grin to the cameras as she stepped out onto the 2012 Billboard Music Awards red carpet with main squeeze Jason Derulo on Sunday (May 20). One BMA's many performers shared her pre-show excitement and jitters with fans via Twitter , "Soundcheck helped ease the nerves a bit! So excited for tonight! Now starting glam for red carpet!" And glam it up she did. Reebok's svelte spokeswoman looked stunning as she posed in a cream lace dress, black [...]
