INAWIT ni Justin Bieber ang mga pinasikat niyang Company at Sorry sa 2016 Billboard Music Awards sa tulong ng backing track habang nagliliwanag ang entablado sa laser lights.
Si Justin ang kinilalang top male artist sa show na live na napanood sa ABC mula sa T-Mobile Arena sa Las Vegas, tinalo sina Drake, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, at Fetty Wap.
“I’m not really a talker, but I’ll say thank you to my family. I want to thank God. I want to thank everyone that believed in me and believes in me,” sabi ni Justin.
Gayunman, ang big winner nang gabing iyon ay ang Canadian singer, songwriter at record producer na si The Weeknd (Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye ang tunay na pangalan), sa walong award na kanyang iniuwi, samantalang anim na parangal naman ang hinakot ni Adele, kabilang ang Top Artist.
Halatang nag-lip sync lang si Britney Spears, na sa simula ng show nagtanghal ng ilan sa kanyang mga awitin, kabilang ang I’m a Slave 4 U, Toxic at I Love Rock N Roll.
Nagtanghal din sa taunang Billboard Music Awards sina Demi Lovato, Pink, Meghan Trainor, Rihanna, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, at Madonna, at emosyonal naman ang naging pagtatanghal nina Kesha at Celine Dion.
