"Justin Bieber was booed by some audience members at last night&amp;#039;s Billboard Music Awards (May 19). The 19-year-old singer beat Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars to be handed the first &amp;#039;Milestone Award&amp;#039; in Las Vegas.      The fan-voted prize recognises particular artists who achieved chart milestones over the past 12 months, with Bieber becoming the first artist under 19 with five number one albums on the Billboard 200. Bieber took in the mixture of applause and booing on stage for several moments, before saying: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m 19 years old. I think I&amp;#039;m doing a pretty good job.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;From my heart I really just want to say it should be about the music, about the craft. &amp;quot;This is not a gimmick. I&amp;#039;m an artist and I should be taken seriously.&amp;quot; Taylor Swift dominated this year&amp;#039;s awards ceremony, taking home eight prizes in total.
