    Actually, surprised there’s a category for that on the Billboard Awards.

    Huh.

  2. James says:

    WOW? NOT SURPRISE:OVERRATED+ NO TALENT=FEMINEM AND 5 HEAD!!

  3. Mike B says:

    Hip pop makes up a large majority of ever award, and hiphop oriented pop music, like Beiber, kesha and gaga who’s signed to Akon’s label…

    So, all in all i guess thats a good thing

  4. So Icy Boi! says:

    WTF Gucci got snubbed smh. And how da fuck is Justin Bieber still new? Smh damn I hate crackas

  5. syllables says:

  12. nujerz says:

    Billboard Awards are based on sales, downloads and radio/video play etc. That how they determine winners as well.

  13. Ice Cold says:

    EM is the best

  14. xedos says:

    Why Rihanna is always in the RNB group ,but not the pop group? When these white ppl writies in their magazine they call her a pop artist, but when the awards come around she’s an RNB artist

  22. Bangers N Mash says:

    @YMCMB Those bitches could have all the money in the world, still doesn’t change the fact they lack the skills on the mic.

  23. Sticknmove says:

    Glad that pop rapper Gucci isn’t nominated for anything.
    Sucks for him, he’ll be getting that ice cream glazed on while well deserving hip hop artists will be sweeping the awards. Corny ass nigga.

  24. Loko says:

    Umm what is the criteria & eligibilty period for this cockamani award show? No Kanye West nominations are a joke. Unless they are still black balling him, in that case they should listen to Gorgeous!
