That Time Psy was Considered a Rap Artist & Nicki Gave Wayne a Lap Dance - WTH Moments of the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

After last night's Billboard Music Awards, I have to give props to Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, J-Lo, and Prince. Each of these artists gave refreshingly entertaining performances in my book! I mean, Bruno Mars with the classic Temptations look; Ed Sherran with the raw guitar-and-song; Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with the crazy flow and bumping beat; J-Lo with the non-stop-high-energy collaboration with Pitbull; and Prince - Just. A. LEGEND.

But how about all those WTH moments from the show? Those jaw dropping moments that made you just think, "WHAT THE HECK????"

First, Tracy Morgan as the host............Okay, let it sink in.........Any excitement? ......No?....I didn't think so. Big ups to him for getting the job, but you know what they say - the host makes the show. And the "Bill-BORED" Awards were mediocre at its overall best.

What happened to live singing? For every artist performing LIVE at a LIVE event, I recommend that actual LIVE singing be a requirement; without prerecorded tracks. That would make sense though, right? I'm just saying. Get some back-up singers if needed, but don't lip sync! Like What The Heck!? Shout out to Kid Rock for calling them out! He came on stage and the first sentence out his mouth was along the lines of "Let's give it up for all the lip syncing and singing over prerecorded tracks!" Ha!

Miguel gave a knockout performance - he literally knocked out a fan. Mid-performance while trying to jump over the mosh pit in some dress shoes, Miguel literally landed on top of some poor girl. What the heck? Just watch it here.

Ouch!

 Another ouch WTH moment - Justin Bieber went up to accept his Milestone award and in the middle of his acceptance speech, the crowd began to boo him. Like, What The Heck? Why? Maybe because he beat out ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez's BFF Taylor Swift. Who knows?

Anyway, while Bieber received boo's from the crowd, Lil Wayne received a special gift from a friend. How about a lap dance from label mate Nicki Minaj! What The Heck? Come on Nicki. That was just ratchet.

Also on the ratchet side were Erykah Badu's lopsided breasts. Sorry. I'm not a fan of her fashion and last night was no exception. Watching Badu during the Prince Icon Award tribute with Janelle Monae, all I was thinking was, "What The Heck is up with her wardrobe...and her boobs!?" Aww man :(

SMH. Poor baby.

Last but not least for my WTH moments of the Billboard Awards:

WHY WAS GANGNAM STYLE PSY IN THE RAP CATEGORY? Some "rap" artists are already questionable, but Psy!? Really? Like, WHAT THE HECK BILLBOARD???

Here's to hoping next year's show is an improvement!
