    I’m guessing they f***** over Adele because she didn’t show up? Taylor Swift over Adele? LMFAO over Adele? What a joke.

    The who awards show was a flop. No big names at all. No Gaga, Rihanna, Adele, etc.

    Just the same people who go to EVERY awards show.

    • virtuoso intellect May 20, 2012

      what are u talking about? Adele won in all major categories

    • truth May 21, 2012

      damn, how they f*** her over??? from what i see they gave her everything BUT the building.

    • Blanco May 21, 2012

      If Adele, Rihanna and Gaga went would THAT be the same people who go to EVERY award show?

    • James_9481 May 21, 2012

      Uhm the awards are based on the billboard charts. So if lmfao won over adele its because the song was more popular throughout the general public.

      & Adele won everything. What are you talking about.

  2. the real xoxo May 20, 2012

    The billboard awards are always DIRE. this year was easily the worst.

  3. Ciana May 20, 2012

    where are the rap categories this isn’t the full list

  4. JAKE (KING BEY, QUEEN-SLAYDELE & LADY GREAT-GA = 21ST CENTURY ICONS. #DEAL) May 20, 2012

    THIS YEAR WAS AN ABSOLUTE MUSICAL ATROSCITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I KNOW IT’S HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO BELIEVE BUT, DAMN, THE STATE OF MUSIC IS AT IT’S WORST.

    THE WHOLE THING WAS JUST AN OUT-RIGHT: LMFAOOOOOOO.

    NO BEYONCE
    NO ADELE
    NO GAGA
    ^^^
    THE ONLY THREE TALENTED MAINSTREAM ARTISTS “TRYING” TO KEEP MUSIC AFLOAT?

    *SIGH*

    • Benron May 21, 2012

      Lady Gaga is leading a patroon of wannabes and making it not about the music she doesen’t count!

  5. zania May 20, 2012

    This award show was great, didn’t need Beyonce, lady gaga. CB,Usher, Cee Lo, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Whitney tribute, Stevie Wonder tribute was excellent. You people just mad because your favorite wasn’t there.

    • Blanco May 21, 2012

      Agrees! I enjoyed the show very much it was a nice change to not see Riahnna and Gaga

  6. truegirl May 20, 2012

    the music world has gone to s*** nobody cares about the awards show nomore everybody wants to be actors or actress

  7. LindseyMari May 20, 2012

    A lot of these winners are absurd. You would think Billboard would go strictly by the Billboard numbers, but apparently not.

  8. Darianna Jones May 20, 2012

    This award show was ridiculous, and apparently mainstream music has no earthly idea what R&B music is.

  9. commanderofthedancefloor May 20, 2012

    umm this doesnt look like the full list!!!

    and taylor over adele?? i love taylor swift but in terms of success although taylor did phenominal adele killed everything in album and single sales!!

  10. Smile4meSmile4u May 20, 2012

    I have a bigger problem w/the music industry boxing in the likes of Chris Brown’s & Rhianna’s music w/R&B just because those 2 are Black artist. make up some other category, Urban Pop, but not R&B. they are no more R&B than Adele. & LMMFAO @ Lil Wayne being the top male artist. the music industry has really gone to s***t. but yet, R. Kelly has one of his best albums (arguably his best in Love Letter) that gets overlooked (which in no other universe should Chris Brown’s album win a Shammy award over) because he’s getting older which is ridiculous.

  11. Anne May 20, 2012

    Glad “4” won best R&B, love that album. Good for Bey, well deserved.

  12. virtuoso intellect May 20, 2012

    im just happy 4 won. it’s been nominated a couple of time this era in album categories but always lost. congrats to others, no complaints here 🙂

  13. virtuoso intellect May 20, 2012

    oh Kelly definitely deserves a mention for motivation. i hope she’s really proud of its success

  19. Theman May 20, 2012

    Congrats Adele,Kelly,Gaga,Bieber,Khalifa,Katy & others.

  20. Miasd May 20, 2012

    Im so proud of Kelly Rowland for her billboard award whoever says she didnt deserve it are haters! all the people she was up against have won plenty of times let this woman enjoy success like everyone else she’s humble she’s thankful show love to her. it’s not many with a gracious heart like hers so please wish her well!

    • Virtuoso Intellect May 20, 2012

      She def deserved it. Billboard awards are based on numbers (sales & Play) and motivation had both of that last year. Most played on urban radio & platinum in sales

      • alonzo wilson May 21, 2012

        Then beyonce would have win more

  21. MIR0X May 20, 2012

    You know all this is a joke when LMFAO WON best RAP song… Best RAP song… LMFAO? WTF?? GTFOH!

  22. Steph May 20, 2012

    KELLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAY!!!! Motivation ROCKS!

    • Malaysia Gipson May 20, 2012

      i’m happy if kelly won

  23. Malaysia Gipson May 20, 2012

    child please i can think of another artist who should have won best r-n-b

    • Malaysia Gipson May 20, 2012

      r&b album should not have went to beyonce

      • GLYNNJE May 21, 2012

        fact. that 4 album was not R N B at allllll

      • KingBey May 21, 2012

        Do You Two Haters Even Have The Album , Because I Think It’s Her Best On Yet. She Should’ve Won Over The Other Nominees.

    • alonzo wilson May 21, 2012

      These two damn idiots hating on beyonce and yes the album is rnb except one song and thats RTW

  24. kaisuan May 20, 2012

    yesss Chris Brown won best R&B artist

  25. KatyCat Bow to Slayty Perry May 20, 2012

    Billboard Awards are suppose to based off numbers, nothing else. Adele slayed EVERYONE in EVERYTHING. There is no reason she shouldnt have won EVERY catagory

  26. 9 May 20, 2012

    flop this way

    I luv ADELE

  27. LTM (Wide Awake) May 20, 2012

    I dont understand how the winners are chosen. Its clearly not based off stats cause ET set the record for most played song on the radio in a week and Last Friday Night broke that record, so how Katy Perry lost Top Radio Artist is beyond me. And Im pretty sure Moves Like Jagger sold more in the U.S than PRA. And how did PRA win best dance, best rap, AND best pop song?? How is it fair to put in 3 different catagories?? The Billboard Awards used to be my favorite award show because it wasnt politics like the Grammys or based off which artist has the most fans. But they dropped the ball here

    • Virtuoso Intellect May 21, 2012

      It is based on numbers. Katy’s records were for a week only. Her airplay for 2011 had nothing on Pitbull, Adele & LMFAO. at their year-end charts Give me everything was most played song last year & Adele most played artist so if katy didnt have it for 6 months how could she for the whole year? U said yourself she broke record for WEEK does not mean overall it was best in a year. There are 52 weeks in a year

  28. LTM (Wide Awake) May 20, 2012

    Atleast Rihanna won something. And to the people who feel Beyonce shouldnt have won, 4 outsold all the other R&B albums it was up against in the U.S and out charted them.

  29. LTM (Wide Awake) May 20, 2012

    And I cant @ all of the Top Rap Song nominations being pop songs.

  30. Os May 20, 2012

    Adele scrap almost every f-cking thing,gratz to her and gratz to nicki for fulling out a one node out of that adele mass genocide.

  31. C-Squad (Fantasy Ride) May 20, 2012

    gurl bye. this list is a joke

  32. Lola May 21, 2012

    Yesssssss Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  33. Nick May 21, 2012

    All rite Adele, Beyonce, Rihanna & LMFAO

  34. Blackman May 21, 2012

    Gay.

  35. HoneyB May 21, 2012

    FLOP!!!

  36. KINGB May 21, 2012

    KELLY ROWLAND ALL THE WAY.
    congrats, well deserved. finally getting the recog she needs

  37. DIGGER BEY May 21, 2012

    I see u Miss Kelly! U have plenty more coming way, with ur new era! Congrats to THE QUEEN! THE QUEEN needs to start training and giving tips to artist! On how to shut a stage down! All and all, the show was boring as hell! I never thought I would say something like this but Kesha and Rihanna performances last year slayed this year performances!

  38. 2/11 Songscribe May 21, 2012

    I had expected ‘We Found Love” to be nominated for best dance song and most likely won in that category. That song owned 2011.

  39. Kimberly May 21, 2012

    Why isn’t Britney spears nominated and winning awards anymore? Didn’t she have an album?

  40. LSZ May 21, 2012

    So Billboard boycotted Rihanna because she didn’t attend the show? That’s funny!

    • X,Y,”and Z” May 21, 2012

      @LSZ — It’s sorta-kinda like everyone..”boycotting” ‘Battleship’ only because OF Rihanna! Oh, btw, it only returned half of its U.S. opening week projections. And given its $250-Million production budget, and its, at least $150-Million in P/A (bring-to-theater) costs, it’s now “HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN THE RED”!

      LSZ, enjoy what you can of your fave, with Nicki Minaj now the new “IT GIRL”, Rita Ora now blooming under Jay-Z’s loving affections, and ‘Rihanna’s Battleship’ now a $400-450-Million disaster-at-sea, the curtain certainly now falls on your fave. The next stop? Downtown ‘Irrelevance and Obscurity’.

      X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!

  41. whyohwhy May 21, 2012

    No body boycotted Rihanna she got just what she deserved, I for one dont think she should win awards due to the fact she is an technology based artist so if anything were Rihanna is concerned her backtracking person should win not her. Beyonce deserved that one and Adele deserved everything she got and you know it, as far as Taylor Swift goes, now that’s a big question.. But overall the award showed awarded accordingly.. Rihanna should not have performed anyway it would have been R-Rated and I believe people are tired of it, Battleship came in #2.

    • Benron May 21, 2012

      WE FOUND LOVE LASTED NUMBER ONE FOR 10 WEEKS, AND WAS A BILLBOARD HIT, JUST CUZ U HATE HER DOESEN’T MEAN THAT WASN’T A CLEAR SNUB,

  42. GLYNNJE May 21, 2012

    yessssssssssss KELLY ROWLAND get it gurl!!!!!!!!!1 you deserve it. #TEAMKELLY

    • X,Y,”and Z” May 21, 2012

      Glynnje, it took “Motivation” 4-LOOOOONG months to go platinum; an unheard-of-since-before eternity in the “singles time continuum”. And after the “stage/platform” SHE was given, with that 12-Million weekly audience, FOR MONTHS ON END, as a 2011 X-Factor U.K. judge/mentor of up-and-coming talent, aren’t YOU now just the slightest bit embarrassed with “Here I am” only moving less-than 350-K WW(150-K U.K./Euroepan)..?!

      *Meh..* Just how much more must we endure of the forever grinning, weaved/wigged out, perfect-skin-from-a-bottle, TALENTLESS, skinny-girl-cottage-cheese-cellulite queen?

      How much more chances is SHE to be given? Is SHE the only dark skinned female artist in existence?

      X,Y,”and Z”

      • GLYNNJE May 21, 2012

        SHUT UP! HOW MANY AWARDS DID U BAG LAST NITE????? ERRR NONE.LAME HATER. GOODBYE

  43. Courtney May 21, 2012

    as a beloved oscar winning actress once said awards are only fun for five minutes until you get back to your seat and realize they are only statues. Adele won 55.5% of the awards she was nominated for so her sales should increase as they do after any major award show

  44. MISHKA May 21, 2012

    Happy for Beyonce, Chris and Kelly in the R’n’B field.

    That is all.

  45. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! May 21, 2012

    Taylor Swift Awarded Woman of the Year at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards!!

    Oh yeh!! Taylor wins!! woohoo!!

    Watch out for Taylors new album coming later this year!!!

  46. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! May 21, 2012

    🙂

  47. zania May 21, 2012

    Do people realize that Billboard awards is about charts and digital sales. Someone said CB isn’t R & B, on what planet are you on, he dominated the billboard R & B charts last year, with Look at Me NOw, No B*******, She aint you, Wet the Bed, 5 feature songs were top 10. The songs I mention are not Pop songs, so he deserved that award. I don’t understand how LMFAO won best Rap song, which I don’t consider a Rap song.

  48. NIKA May 21, 2012

    “Suffocate You” – A remix of “Dance for You” tributed to the always beloved Blue Ivy Carter R.I.P. (2012-2012) who has just died after more than two months of suffering from being her claimed mother Beyonce Knowles’ ass-smothering doll.

    Tonight I’m suffocating you (ow woaaow)
    Tonight I’m suffocating you (ow woaaow)

    Tonight I’m gonna stick your nose up in my butty
    Girl I know it, you don’t want me

    Ah, but you know I don’t give a DAAAAAMMMNNNNN!!!!

    I’ll be smothering my babe
    Smothe- Smothering my babe

    I’ll be farting in your face
    Farti- farting in your face

    Baby lemme sit my ass all on your body

    Promise not to tell your daddy,

    cause
    He’s gonna shut me dowwwwwn

    I’ll never feed you two
    I really need the other one.

    My boobs are fat and all, I know, but
    Never fat as her #1’s

    That’s why I always turn to you
    Cause they do nothing but slay my ass

    B**** DID I JUST TELL YOU TO GET YOUR F***** NOSE DOWN FROM MY CRACK

    STIC
    STIC
    STIC
    STIC it all the way back

    Sniff me more one time … like I’m a flower

    Can’t take my stank????? Not my problem

    Drink my c**, till it’s POWDER, my love.

  49. POP ROYALTY ( Révolution) May 21, 2012

    minus “4” winning an award and adele slayed , crushed and spited on everybody’s face , kelly Rowland finally get recognized , this list is straight BS.

  50. BEYONCE:FORCE May 21, 2012

    YESS YESS YESS KIING B MY KING YEAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4 : BEST R&B ALBUM B******!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. WHIPYPURA$$ May 21, 2012

    Okay this is getting stupid…no doubt award shows are losing their touch and from opening to ending the show was a disaster. Okay lets begin, Adele is amazing as we all know. We are hyping her more than she even hypes herself, awesome for Adele being nominated for so many awards and winning them. But the album is Past overdue and we need more current event on those nominations. Not hating just saying the little thing people are forgetting. AND PEOPLE EVEN BILLBOARD SAID THEMSELVES THEY WILL STOP SUPPORTING RIHANNA AS A WHOLE IF SHE DID THE DUET WITH CHRIS BROWN.

  52. danny b May 21, 2012

    YASSSSSS for Bey & Kelly !!!!!!!!! Destiny’s Child stays #WINNING.

  53. Ryan May 22, 2012

    CONGRATULATIONS KELLY ROWLAND ON YOUR FIRST BBMA!!! You really deserve it! I hope you win 10 to 20 more of them!!!

  54. Shady July 18, 2012

    Wtf? Lil Wayne top rap artist? Eminem deserver this award…he was not even been nominated…Damn
