The 2014 Billboard Music Awards kicked off Sunday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Michael Jackson performed. Well, it was more like a hologram of the late pop icon. The Holographic image performed “Slave to the Rhythm” as part of what the media calls the “history-making performance”.
The performance is said to be a marketing strategy for the release of Michael Jackson’s Xscape, the second album since his passing. Also, Jennifer Lopez won the BBMA Icon Award, the first woman to be honored with the accolade. Justin Timberlake was the big winner of the night, scoring 7 trophies including Top Male Artist and Top Artist. Imagine Dragons won 5 awards while Pharrell, Robin Thicke and T.I. won four trophies each.
