Videos, Pics And Full List Of Winners After The Jump
The 2011 Billboard Music Awards were held last night (May 22) and Eminem and Justin Bieber won big, taking home six awards apiece.
Other winners on the night included Usher, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taio Cruz and Taylor Swift, who each bagged three trophies.
Fans were also treated to a steamy performance of "S&M" by Rihanna and Spears that was sealed with a kiss.
Beyonce received the Millennium award, which was presented to her in a pre-recorded video by Michelle Obama, Lady GaGa and her mother Tina Knowles.
B was humble and gracious in accepting the award. She thanked Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, her mother, father and also the two original members of Destiny's Child Letoya Lucket and LaTavia Roberson for their influence on her career.
She ended her acceptance speech by thanking her husband. “I don’t want to put you on the spot because I know their probably putting a camera in your face right now, but I love me some Jay-Z,” she said.
