Billboard Music Awards 2011 Winners: Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Eminem win big
The 2011 Billboard Music Awards was a big night for Justin Bieber. Not only did he nab three awards during the televised broadcast, he also laid one on Selena Gomez for all the world to see. Also taking home top honors (to no ones surprise) were Taylor Swift and Rihanna, who rocked the stage with Britney Spears in a remix for her hit, "S&M." Beyonce was honored with a Millennium Award, while Neil Diamond closed out the show earning the Icon Award.

How did Top Artist not make it to air? That would be like the Academy Awards not airing the Best Picture award.
What an incredibly embarassing show!! Horrible singing and lip singing!! Horrible songs!! Beyonce - What an embarassing performance to a really bad song. No wonder the song has been falling on Billboard charts since it debuted. Please Billboard, if this is the way you want to present yourself, then please wait another five years and try again!! Were the real music stars on summer vacation already? Thank God for Neil Diamond!!
This show was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen. All of the supposed "talents" are play dough creatures that have been molded to appeal to the masses. Greed has been the downfall of music as we know it. Independent music is where the true stars are and where real music exists.
