2015 Billboard Music Awards Review

What’s up guys? Last night on ABC, the 2015 Billboard Music Awards took place. I have to say, what a hell of a night! I was not disappointed by it! It was fun to watch and jam out to some of my favorite songs. I very much enjoyed it! There were some things that will be talked about for quite a while. But here is my review. So basically how this is gonna work is I’m gonna review each performance as well as listing the awards along with the winners. So here we go.

The awards were hosted by rapper Ludacris as well as John Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen. Ludacris was alright, but I definitely could’ve lived with someone other than Chrissy Teigen. I personally found her hosting quite annoying and her comments were kind of stupid. But that’s just me.

Taylor Swift won quite a few awards during the show. But did anyone notice the PDA between her and boyfriend Calvin Harris every time she won an award? Don’t they just look so cute together?

As usual, people overdid it with their outfits. And by that I mean all the ladies, especially Jennifer Lopez, who was nearly naked. Nothing new. She always overdoes her outfits. But anyway, on to the performances!

Performance Reviews: (Each one gets a ranking from 1 to 10)

• Opening: The premiere of the music video for Taylor Swift/Kendrick Lamar – Bad Blood

Comments: I LOVE this song! I love anything she releases! The music video was good, but I just love the song! But I’m here to rank the music video and overall the music video was an 8 out of 10. But the song gets a 10 out of 10! And Kendrick Lamar actually doesn’t suck! Here’s the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo

• Van Halen – Panama

Comments: As you should probably know, I don’t like rock music. So Van Halen’s performance wasn’t necessarily good. But it’s also not the worst. Overall, a 2 out of 10.

• Fall Out Boy/Wiz Khalifa – Uma Thurman

Comments: I don’t like this song. So of course that affects what I think of the performance. This song is probably gonna start blowing up worldwide and I really don’t want that. Wiz Khalifa joins in on this performance and he’s actually the reason this performance isn’t a 1 out of 10. Overall, this performance is a 3 out of 10.

• Nick Jonas – Jealous

Comments: That hottie Nick Jonas had the first good performance of the night! Loved his performance of Jealous, especially with the added guitar solo! Overall, a 9 out of 10!

• Meghan Trainor/John Legend – Like I’m Gonna Lose You

Comments: I think this performance was okay. Not much to it really. I mean it wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t good either. John Legend kind of saved it from being bad. So overall, a 6 out of 10.

• Mariah Carey – Vision Of Love / Infinity

Comments: I have never liked Mariah Carey. Never have, never will. I was definitely not a fan of this performance. I’m just not a fan of her voice. Overall, a 1 out of 10. Definitely one of the worst performances.

• Wiz Khalifa/Charlie Puth/Lindsey Stirling – See You Again

Comments: One word. BEAUTIFUL!!!! I cried towards the end of this performance. As usual Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth did incredible! Then they bring in Lindsey Stirling who does a fantastic job on the violin and just makes it so much better! I managed to hold in my tears up until the point where they started showing the video where Paul Walker leaves! Then I couldn’t handle it anymore. Hands down the best performance of the night! That just made me love the song even more now! A definite 10 out of 10! But on a more silly note, did anyone notice that Wiz Khalifa was barefoot on stage? I’m not judging because to be honest I would actually do the same.

• Hozier – Take Me To Church

Comments: LOVE this song!!!! Hozier did a beyond excellent job with this performance! He never disappoints me with his performances! I loved this performance! Overall, a 10 out of 10!

• Little Big Town/Faith Hill – Girl Crush

Comments: I liked this performance. Overall, it’s a sweet song and I like it! Not one of the best performances, but it was good! Overall, an 8 out of 10.

• Pitbull/Chris Brown – Fun

Comments: This is like my new jam on repeat! Mr. Worldwide did not disappoint with this performance! Chris Brown did a great job too! As of right now, I’m loving this song. Overall, a 9 out of 10!

• Ed Sheeran – Bloodstream

Comments: Thank the lord he did not perform Thinking Out Loud! This performance was good I guess. It was better than a couple of the other performances. Overall, a 7 out of 10.

• Britney Spears/Iggy Azalea – Pretty Girls

Comments: This was a fun performance to watch. Obviously not the best, but it was pretty good. This is another song I’m having fun with at the moment along with Pitbull/Chris Brown – Fun. But it was a good performance! Overall, an 8 out of 10.

• Nicki Minaj/David Guetta – The Night Is Still Young / Hey Mama

Comments: Queen Nicki slays yet another performance!!! The Night Is Still Young is going to become one of my new jams! It’s super catchy!!! Then David Guetta comes out for a performance of Hey Mama and I LOVED it!!! I swear Nicki Minaj is the queen! I definitely jammed out to this performance along with my dad, who loves Nicki Minaj. This is a definite 10 out of 10!

• Tori Kelly – Nobody Love

Comments: She performed this acoustically and I’m not a huge fan of that. This performance was really just okay. There was nothing that special to it. Just another performance. Overall, a 5 out of 10.

• Simple Minds – Don’t You (Forget About Me)

Comments: Since I haven’t seen The Breakfast Club and I wasn’t around 30 years ago when this song was popular, I didn’t care too much for this performance. It was good. Don’t get me wrong. But it wasn’t as good as other stuff I saw that night. Overall, a 6.5/7 out of 10.

• Kelly Clarkson – Invincible

Comments: I’m so happy she didn’t perform Heartbeat Song. This new song is pretty good. I was afraid I wouldn’t like this performance. But it was actually pretty good. Overall, a 7 out of 10.

• Imagine Dragons – Stand By Me

Comments: I didn’t see what was so special about this performance. In my reality, it was just another performance. I’m sure all the adults enjoyed it though. Overall, a 4 out of 10.

• Kanye West – All Day / Black Skinhead

Comments: It all started with people booing Kendall and Kylie Jenner when they were announcing Kanye West. Then the madness begins. There are so many pyrotechnics going off with fire and yellowish white smoke everywhere so you couldn’t see a thing. He was constantly getting bleeped out for swearing all throughout the song. So we didn’t hear like, 60% of the song. I know it’s that one performance people will be talking about for a while. Overall, a 1 out of 10.
