Adele continues her march in the music awards stakes, if there is a music awards event out there she is normally picking up a gong somewhere along the line. Well she picked up more than one at this event, she totally dominated the proceedings and led the way with a huge haul, Top Artist being the one to win and Adele nailed that one along with many others. Good to see superior talent being recognised in a big way as these sort of singers don’t come along very often! A collection of photos taken inside the event and after the red carpet arrivals (see previous post for those shots) .

Photos taken from the actual Show itself with presenters and live performances along with some Press Room photos of the award winners holding their musical trophies, some sneaky Backstage pics seeing who was pally with who.

Winners on the night included the previously mentioned Katy Perry along with LMFAO who were also prominent along with Lady Gaga and Coldplay. all decent names you expect to win at least one award at such an event..

Performances included Kelly Clarkson of now Super Bowl National Anthem fame and Carrie Underwood who both did a live sample of their new singles, The Wanted also blasted out a tune , Usher and Justin Bieber thought it would be a good idea to perform on stage as well. Full 2012 Billboard Music Awards Winners list in Part 2. It’s massive!

Some big names here, some we haven’t seen for some time but essential on a guest list for a major music award such as this.

Who was there? The Bieber was there rcoking his new Elvis barnet along with Katy Perry (you may have heard of her), Alicia Keys and other half Swizz Beatz, Amber Rose, Carrie Underwood, Amber Rose, Gladys Knight, John Legend, Julianne Hough, Miley Cyrus, Nelly Furtado, Taylor Swift, The Wanted, Usher and Zooey Deschanel. That’s a quick skim of the more prominent names on the guest list, full rather large guest list at foot of this article.

Gone with Alicia Keys for this event headline. She was doing it for me and as I lalways like to say she was “Looking on the money!” Alicia Keys photo above taken from a different event wayback in June 2011. Grab the Red Carpet pica in Part 2

Jennifer Lopez has teamed up with Wisin and Yandel for her latest smouldering outing in a song called ‘Follow The Leader’ which sees her parading in the infamously exotic Acapulco in Mexico in a music video for their joint track.

In summary being chased by manic men on the streets, building jumping, scantily clad bed scenes and tat and body art flashing are part of the J Lo music video thrill ride. You know the usual thing. If you thought she was hanging up her microphone, think again.

Full review of the vid and song later today. Further details and music video link available at the Jennifer Lopez Twitter Page @JLo Can’t miss it!
