Yikes.

Last night R & B crooner Miguel delivered an extremely animated performance that literally rocked one fan’s world.
Fortunately Miguel’s flying drop kick across the stage didn’t put anyone in the hospital…

Breezy broke out the BMX bikes for his performance in the “Fun Zone” at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. See him perform his hit, “Turn Up The Music” after the break.

“The GOOD”:

Beyoncé stans fans everyone got their official dose of Bey tonight via her extravagant performance at the Billboard Music Awards. As mentioned on Ms. Drama TV, Beyonce was honored by close relatives, famous friends and collaborators — including First Lady Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, The-Dream, U2’s Bono, Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Solange and her son Daniel “Juelz” Smith, Barbra Streisand, and her mother and father.

Bey’s performance lived up to the anticipation as she took the stage in a barely-there silver number to perform “Run the World (Girls),” the lead single from her fourth studio album, “4,” for the first time ever. Virtual duplicates of Beyonce rocked behind her until an impressive 100 back-up dancers emerged to rock collectively to the girl-power anthem.

Shortly after the performance, Tina Knowles and Juelz presented Beyoncé with the Billboard Millenium Award, as the singer breathlessly thanked her parents, Destiny Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams and even former members of the group, LaToya Jackson and LaTavia Roberson. Beyoncé ended her speech by shouting out her husband saying “I love me some Jay-Z.

Peep her performance below:

  

“The BAD”:

Britney Spears and Rihanna teamed up to kick off the Billboard Music Awards in a S & M racy performance mash-up. While Rihanna managed to hold her own – to some degree, Britney had trouble getting it together. Although not a total epic fail, this registers as our “Bad”. Check their performance below:


The “UGLY”:

Nicki Minaj’s vision for a great performance tonight didn’t manifest itself on the Billboard stage. The Young Money raptress performed “Super Bass” with a bunch of discombobulated dancers and a lackluster routine. Considering she wasn’t even singing (as she opted to lip-synch the entire time) – we at least hoped for more in her performance – but unfortunately Nicki failed to bring it. She did however bring out Britney Spears for a duet of the remix “Till the World Ends.” Unfortunately, the performance was more a sign of the end to TIME than May 21st 2011. Check her performance below:

 

The Billboard Music Awards go down tonight – and of course taking center stage will be Beyonce who will be receiving the Billboard Millennium Award.

So who will be honoring the pop princess? Well it’s rumored that she will be highlighted from some of music’s biggest icons including Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand, Lady Gaga, U2’s Bono, and — First Lady Michelle Obama in a special taped tribute.

Beyoncé is also expected to take the stage to perform “Run the World (Girls).”

In addition to Beyonce essentially being a show stopper,  fans will get a double dose of Rihanna as she opens the show and is reportedly set to later join Britney Spears. Rumor has it that Britney is also doing a second performance with Nicki Minaj as well.

The Billboard Awards air live tonight from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas at 8 p.m. on ABC. Will you be watching?
