The Top 5 Performances From The Billboard Music Awards (Including Miguel’s Fierce Leg Drop That Almost Killed A Spectator)
The Billboard Music Awards were held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this evening and, much like the Grammys, wisely minimized the amount of airtime devoted to acceptance speeches in favor of wall-to-wall performances. Sadly, most of the evening was dominated by artists who, to paraphrase the fairly toasted Kid Rock, were lip-synching to pre-recorded musical tracks. However, the following five performances stood out from the pack and really delivered, demonstrating that the future of music is still shining bright.
Ellie Goulding Graduates From Guest Spot To Main Stage At Hangout
The last time electro-pop extraordinaire Ellie Goulding was at Hangout Fest she was just a guest of then-beau Skrillex on one of the small stages.

Amateur Rap Fest At Hangout: The Good, The Meh, The Ugly GIFs
Hip hop acts have been in full effect at Hangout Fest the past two days. The Roots turned a crowd of 10K into a dance party while Public Enemy proved to thousands packed in the Boom Boom Tent that ”911 Is A Joke.”
Then there were these three, um, aspiring young rappers who entertained the audience while they waited patiently for everyone’s favorite substitute teacher Kendrick Lamar to jet in after he missed an earlier flight.
One put mom’s spaghetti on notice, one’s poetic rhymes weren’t done enough justice and one nearly killed the crowd’s vibe. We broke down all three in hilarious gifs. Commence judgement. Read more…

The Roots ‘Break Us Off’ Some Kanye, Chief Keef + More At Hangout Fest
The sun was still bearing down hard on the beach, but the fans still filled the beach area in front of the Chevrolet Stage to capacity to watch The Roots tear it up for an hour of non-stop dance-worthy tracks on Day Two of Hangout Fest.
The Grammy-winning neo-soul hip hop band may be best known now for slow jamming the news as house band for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, but that was the furthest gig from anyone’s mind. Read more…
Dillon Francis Gets Chrissy Teigen To Wet Her T-Shirt At Hangout Fest
One of the best parts of a beach-side festival like Hangout is having an excuse to dress as creatively half-naked as possible in an attempt to beat the heat while rocking out to your favorite band. We’re talking babes in bikinis and bros in board shorts, people! Read more…
