Last night, in Vegas, hundreds of artists, producers and general celebrities gathered at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to celebrate another 12 months in music and award those who have achieved success on the billboard charts.
As much as the night is about awards and fashion (for my red carpet review click here), it is more so about the big performances that can either be entertaining or controversial, depending on the artist.
This year was a little tame with no big headlines to run with but it was a fun night all the same.
Nicki Minaj
So Nicki did a duo performance starting with her latest track The Night Is Still Young which also happens to be my least favourite from the new album.
She was then joined by David Guetta for their track Hey Mama which had the whole crowd on their feet dancing. Nicki seemed to be having fun on stage and wasn't afraid to show off a whole lot of skin.
Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea
Although it was pre-taped, which may seem like a bit of a cheat, Brit and Iggy's performance was possibly the best of the night simply because Britney almost looked like the superstar performer she once was.

I am still not a fan of this song but it was nice to see Brit having fun and looking beautiful while pulling out some hefty choreography.
Ed Sheeran
Ed is always a captivating performer and when he stepped up to perform Bloodstream I was happy to see he kept it simple with just him, his guitar, and some other recording device.

I would have enjoyed it more had he incorporated the Rudimental remix somehow but it was still a powerful performance.
Mariah Carey
Mariah delivered Class A vocals last night proving that she has still got it as she performed classic Vision Of Love and newest single Infinity.
It wasn't the best she has ever sounded but it is definitely a lot better than I would have hoped especially seeing as she had bronchitis last week.
Kanye West
Kanye closed out the show with two of my favourite tracks All Day and Black Skinhead which may have been heavily censored but didn't stop the crowd from having a good time.

The stage was smoky and I could barely make out the three figures on stage but I am sure that's what Kanye intended.
