This show was a real lame presentation and a sad commentary on pop culture. Atleast Shania took it out of the gutter for 5 minutes, along with Sting and Stevie.
There are very few artists that kids can look up to today.

Looks like Celine has been taking some inspiration from those platinum blonde wigs Cher uses!
What was the purpose of the kids on stage? It had nothing to do with SNJAPF.
I'm still trying to figure it out. It would've made more sense if all of the children were girls. I don't get it, but it was really great to see!
Have they given out Album of the Year award yet? If so who won?
as long as they keep the kids away from R. Kelly.
What has Celine done to herself? She looks horrible. She needs her long hair back.
:LMAO :LMAO Good one, Chris! You're too quick for me tonight!
Shania won Country Artist Of The Year, Country Album Of The Year (UP!) and Country Albums Artist Of The Year. I'm not sure how 1 & 3 differ.
LAS VEGAS (CP) - Country superstar Shania Twain (news) walked away from the Billboard Awards on Wednesday with three trophies.
The singer was named country artist of the year and her album Up, which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200, was named country album and country albums of the year. The record, which includes the hit I'm Gonna Getcha Good, has remained on the Billboard country charts for more than a year.
Can someone please explain to me what is the difference between the last 2 awards???
Overall, that show did not impress me much.
Ok, I'm ready for vidcaps! I would love to see one of the little girl at the end giving Shania a HUGE hug!

LAS VEGAS (CP) - Country superstar Shania Twain walked away from the Billboard Awards on Wednesday with three trophies.
"It's been a terrific year for me. Fans have been so great," Twain said after performing She's Not Just a Pretty Face, surrounded by school children.
"I'm always so greatful and humbled."
Aside from Twain's winnings, R&B and hip-hop dominated the awards with sultry singer Beyonce and R. Kelly each earning four awards.
The singer, who is part of Destiny's Child and went solo this year with her album Dangerously in Love, told reporters before the show that she was nervous about the possibility of making an acceptance speech.
"I don't know what to say. I completely blank out," she said.
In the end, she told the crowd after winning the Hot 100 female artist award: "This is amazing. This has been an incredible year."
No Doubt opened the nationally televised show, hosted by Ryan Seacrest of American Idol, with a performance of their hit single It's My Life.
Rapper 50 Cent had a leading six nominations heading into the show at the MGM Grand hotel-casino. By the end of the night, he won three awards - for top artist, R&B artist and rap artist.
For the first time, the Billboard Awards recognized the sales of legally downloaded music tracks, honoring Hey Ya! by OutKast as the digital track of the year.
The Hilton sisters walked the red carpet, but did not speak with reporters. Paris Hilton, co-star of the hit show The Simple Life, wore a satin and lace Valentino two-piece dress. Among those drawing the loudest cheers from the hundreds of fans gathered to watch the arrivals was the cast of Fox's The O.C.
The Billboard Awards honor the year's chart-topping artists. Winners are determined by the magazine's year-end chart listings, which are based on record sales and airplay.
This is really the best photo of ALL! LUCKY KIDS!
