Bieber booed at Billboard Awards

Justin Bieber has been booed at the Billboard Music Awards, which handed out its first ever “Milestone Award” to the diminutive popster. Having had some bad press in Europe for (very) late arrivals and onstage times, spats with paparazzi, cancellations and some ill thought out comments, the award was amazingly a fan-voted award for musical ingenuity and innovation - and yes it went to Justin Bieber, beating off Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift. Bieber was booed before he could even give his speech, and when the 19 year old finally got to talk, he was not very humble. “This is not a gimmick,” Bieber told the crowd. “I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously.” That only led to more boos.
