Billboard Awards 2016

Ako to vyzeralo na odovzdávaní cien Billboard Awards?

Pokračujme v doháňaní zameškaného a posvieťme si na odovzdávanie cien Billboard Awards 2016, ktoré sa konalo minulú nedeľu v T-Mobile Arene v Las Vegas. Večer moderovali Ludacris a Ciara, ktorej skoro z šiat na červenom koberci vypadli cecky. Hviezdou večera bol jednoznačne The Weeknd, ktorý nemal len najväčší počet nominácií (19), ale domov si odniesol až 8 sošiek.

Jednoznačne najdiskutovanejším momentom večera bolo vystúpenie Madonny. Tá si mala týmto vystúpením uctiť pamiatku nedávno zosnulého Princea. Ak ale organizátori chceli, aby to malo aspoň nejakú úroveň, mali to vystúpenie radšej nahrať a niekoľko dlhých hodín upravovať v štúdiu a Madonnu nechať ísť na playback. Toto sa totiž nedalo počúvať. Hocikoho by vytiahli podguráženého z najbližšieho karaoke baru, zaspieval by to lepšie. Madonna si za toto vystúpenie vyslúžila takú kritiku, akú už asi nezažila dosť dávno. Stevie Wonder už asi oľutoval, že jej na druhú polovicu vystúpenia prišiel pomôcť.

Pozornosť na seba strhla aj Britney Spears. Tá toho síce tiež bohviekoľko neodspieva, ale pri takomto vystúpení to ani nikto nečaká, a tak mohli byť všetci nadšení z toho, akú šou urobila a ako skvele vyzerá. Rovnako skvelé vystúpenie mala aj Pink, to je ale štandardná klasika, Pink si skrátka drží svoju úroveň. A dokonca to tentokrát dobre zaspievala aj Rihanna.

Počas večera si zaspievalo aj strašidlo Kesha. Hrozilo, že vôbec nevystúpi, pretože Sony jej len pár dní pred odovzdávaním cien zrušilo povolenie kvôli dôvodným obavám, že toto vystúpenie chce využiť na boj za svoju pravdu v kauze s Dr. Lukeom. Našťastie sa jej ale podarilo ich presvedčiť, že nič takéto neplánuje, a tak nám mohla predviesť, že vie spievať. Už by ma len zaujímalo, prečo sa potom žiadna z jej pesničiek, ktoré registrujem, nedala počúvať. Chcelo by to zmeniť štýl.

Veľkú pozornosť si zaslúžila aj Adele a to aj napriek tomu, že sa na odovdzávaní Billboard Awards vôbec neukázala. Počas večera mal ale premiéru jej nový klip k pesničke Send My Love (To Your New Lover). Pesnička krásna, Adele krásna, klip krásny, len škoda, že ma z neho chytá migréna. Také mžiky pred očami mi nerobia dobre, ale menej citlivému oku klip určite ulahodí.
