billboard music award 2013 review : performances

I might be late, but i decided to give some reviews about billboard music awards performance

This year's awards was held on las vegas, mgm grand arena. well, it is the usual place where the bbma was held. Personally for me there is some exciting and memorable performances, speech and tributes. but it's just that i felt for the past couple of years, the artist who made it into spotlight and steals the limelight was always been 'that' artists. You know, like taylor swift, Justin Bieber, Rihanna. It's just sometimes i got bored of them and i felt like they are being overrated, anyway that is just personal thoughts of me.

the opening performance commanded by Bruno Mars, it's a classy performance, with lots of musical instruments being elaborated on the stage, he performed his latest single 'treasure'.

This next performance really caught my eye and i must say, it's one of the best at this year's bbma, Selena Gomez, enchants the audience with her new single 'come and get it'. This performance heavily relied on some kind of india folk dance & style, and infused with the latest electronic sound pop kind of feels. i had to say that Selena Gomez really worked it out.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, the rising rap/hip hop duo also performs at this year's bbma. Who doesn't know their phenomenal single 'thrift shop', Storming all the worldwide charts this year. It's been quite a long time since rap/hip hop single made a long reigns on the billboard hot 100 no.1 spot. Personally, the song is really catchy and it gives you the 'upbeat' kind of feelings.

Justin Bieber.. currently the most sensational teenage superstar, storms this year's bbma with 2 performance, he performs his latest single 'Take you', and another performance with collaboration with will.i.am '#thatPower'. i actually not a fan of Bieber himself, and i don't really like his song, but i had to say he gives an amazing performances that night, he really drive the crowds cheering..

Another performance that caught my eye was Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull. Anyway the duo has previously collaborated multiple times ( who remembers one of 2011's biggest hits 'on the floor'? ) the duo had actually create hits after hits which really racks up the charts. This time, they are back with their new single 'live it up'. As usual, Pitbull entertain the crowd with his spanish accent-ed rap, while j.lo really dance her a** off.

Last performance which caught my eye is the legendary artist Prince, i had to say i was suprised when they announce Prince going to perform at the bbma. I actually like some of his classics, such as 'When Doves Cry'. He perform his classic 1984 single 'Let's Get Crazy', which is always a staple on his concerts.

Overall, the performances from this year's bbma was good, it is really a fun-tease to the ear and a candy to the eye. There are obviously more performances that i don't put up on this blog to be reviewed, basically because i don't have the time lol. Some performers that i don't feature here are Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, and David Guetta.
