Billboard Awards

Katy Perry performed her brand new single ‘Wide Awake’ for the first time at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, doing so while suspended from a swing in mid-air. Some might say Katy was soaring to new heights.

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards show that aired on Sunday, May 20 was brimming with pop music winners and performances, but a handful of Diffuser.fm favorites also received awards — off the air, anyway. Adele was the clear winner of the night — she’ll be getting a remarkable total of 12 trophies — even though not a single one of her wins was announced on the televised broadcast.

These worst dressed pictures from the 2012 Billboard Music Awards don’t necessarily include the most poorly dressed pack we’ve ever seen, but there were certainly a few artists who fell short when it came to their ensembles.

Carly Rae Jepsen followed Justin Bieber (who helped bring her to prominence in America after discovering her song on the radio in their native Canada), by performing ‘Call Me Maybe’ on tonight’s (May 20) Billboard Music Awards.
