Mary J. Blige gran triunfadora en los Billboard Music Awards

Ayer se celebró la gala de la 17 Edición de los Billboard Music Awards en el MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas. Mary J. Blige ha sido la gran triunfadora al obtener ni más ni menos que 9 premios. "Nunca he recibido tantos premios a la vez en mi carrera", comentaba la artista de R&B. Blige partía con 5 nominaciones entre las principales categorías.

Entre los triunfadores también destacan Carrie Underwood y T.I. con 5 premios. Aunque el joven Chris Brown se llevó tres de los principales (artista del año, artista masculino del año y artista revelación).

Entre los premiados también están Nelly Furtado, Kenny Chesney y The Fray, un cuarteto de pop de Denver, de los que estamos deseando que publiquen su álbum en España.
