2012 Billboard Music Awards Honor Adele and Pay Tribute to Fallen Legends

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

The deaths of Whitney Houston, the Beastie Boys‘ Adam Yauch aka MCA, Donna Summer and over the weekend the Bee Gees‘ Robin Gibb left a noticeable pall over the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, but in the spirit of that old show biz adage, the show went on. An absent Adele doubled her Grammy take by sweeping up an impressive 12 wins including Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist  and Top Billboard  200 Album for 21. LMFAO trailed with six wins including Top Hot 100 song for the ubiquitous “Party Rock Anthem.”

FASHION INDIE PLAYLIST: Consequence Ft. John Legend & Kanye West ‘Whatever You Want’ [VIDEO]

Edited by Hillary Frazier

Consequence teamed up with John Legend and Kanye on ‘Whatever You Want.’ I was wondering why Amber Rose wasn’t one of the girls that Kanye was all over in the video, but then realized she has no hair to twirl around in a pony tail (seriously, that’s all this video is about). Regardless, the girl’s bathing suits in this video are totally fabulous, but that’s about all that’s good about it..I mean, Kanye already knows that Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time, so I guess that must mean he isn’t going to try anymore.
