Are We Sure The Apocalypse Didn't Happen This Weekend? The Billboard Music Awards: A Pictorial Recap

Beyonce 2.jpeg

Britney, Oops, She Did It Again: By “it” I mean a shameless and calculated bid for your affection exploiting the general consensus that two ladies kissing is some hot sh*t. Oops.

Whip It Where: Beyonce, pulling it off. Britney, my peach, stick to the faux bicuriosity.

Jazz Flute Is For Little Fairy Boys: Gentlemen Hall’s weird-o trancey rock flute, on the other hand? That’s for totally macho, ascot-wearing Lord Bowlers.

Putting The Stool in Stool-Singing: Seriously, that’s some intense yet stationary wailing, Lady Antebellum. Nice stools, though. Those lucite?

Statue-tory Rape: Listen, Taylor Swift ain’t no baby. She’s 21. She’s sexed John Meyer and Jake Gyllenhaal and lived to write trite but extremely catchy (and yes maybe sometimes I dance in my car to them) songs about it. But she is quite young and I would gladly vote Mr. Schuester there “Teacher Most Likely To Bad Touch A Student.” And the lead singer of Train? Well…

COME ON.

Speaking Of Bad Touch: Can you get the herp through your fingertips? Is that how science works? I hope not.

Just The Tip: But if that IS how it works, these gloves are the worst protection I’ve ever seen.
Rihanna-2.jpeg

Just The Hip: Former Disney product, Selena Gomez, is obviously trying to bring the demure sex in this outfit. It’s…awkward.

The Faux-Hawking Dead: It’s like a Zombie Brothel hath spilled upon the stage and the only thing that can save us is the slick lyricism of Far East Movement. What’s that, Far East Movement? “Fly like a G-6?” F*ck.

$eriously: If this were the apocalypse/rapture/whatever, and I had to bet on who would make it out alive, It would be a tie between Ke$ha’s bat$hittery and

Snoop Dogg’s perma-cool pigtailery.

Peas At Last: But the peas are going down first. No no, your Tron dress and spangly yarmulke can’t save you now. Au contraire, they will only attract the oncoming storm.

Saw none of it. My life is better off for that.

I haven't a clue what any of this means. A lot of those people look an awful lot of silly though.

I was just reading an article about Britney lip-synching that performance. Which means that I had two windows open at once involving Britney Spears. Here's a bat. Someone just go to town on my skull, please. Don't hold back.

I had two windows open involving Britney as well. That's just because Federline wouldn't fit in one window though. And yes I know they're not together but any excuse to make a Kevin Federline joke. Or apparently a Kevin Federline offspring. Forget Idiocracy, in about 100 years, everyone on the planet will be a descendant of that jackass.

It's like they had no air conditioning there, Kesha in particular looks like she reeks.

I love that I have either NO CLUE or only a passing grasp of who these people are, and probably couldn't identify a single current song by any of them.

Looks like someone drew the short straw.

It's like the music industry decided to hold a secret tournament of Batshit Batshit Revolution and decided the best venue was an awards show that's been abandoned for half a decade.

Beyonce looks like she tried to go into the pool in her unwieldy suit, sank to the bottom, got water in her ear and is now trying desperately to shake it out. I know--I've made that face before. Shit's annoying!

Who the hell is Patrick Monahan?

Manny is looking pretty adorable in his hat and Chucks. And that girl next to him looks cute in her mom's dress, too bad they didn't have time to get it altered.

bleujayone "Batshit Batshit Revolution" is KILLING ME.

Also, speaking of bats, Paultera for some reason on the first read of your comment I imagined one of those bat winged apocalypse skulls biting the fuck out of your face. But the number of skulls didn't add up. A day late and a batskull short, that's what my granddad always said.

Britney is totally turning into Det. Clementine Johnson.

Posted by: firedmyass at May 24, 2011 12:56 AM

oh goddammit, i meant "Deputy"

Posted by: firedmyass at May 24, 2011 12:58 AM

I know who all these people are and couldn't care less about a single one. Except maybe Snoop and Selena's hips.

Posted by: Protoguy at May 24, 2011 1:44 AM

firedmyass, I'm so glad you said that. Pissboy and I caught Bridesmaids last weekend and I made the comment that Wendy McWhat's-her-last-name looks like an older version of Britney.

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at May 24, 2011 7:52 AM

That’s for totally macho, ascot-wearing Lord Bowlers.

Briscoe thanks you for the nod.

Glad I missed this.

Somebody posted the RiRi/BritBrit performance on the Facebooks and I watched it. I was sad about how stiff Britney looks when she dances now. Particularly in the neck & shoulders.

I was pretty impressed with the mad popping and/or locking skillz of the hand-dancers, though. Yo.

Billboard has a band that wins the best unsigned band, "Gentlemen Hall" - so they win a performance on the show and then they are cut off before they even get to their chorus? that sucks- i hope they will air the entire show later???

Posted by: Julie Given at May 24, 2011 5:09 PM

Gentlemen Hall was the best performance of the night!
