Una dintre cele mai prestigioase si mai importante gale din industria muzicala, editia din 2014 a Billboard Music Awards si-a dezvaluit ieri, 9 aprilie, lista nominalizarilor. Topul este condus de rockerii de la Imagine Dragons si de neo-zeelandeza Lorde.
Dupa ce au cucerit topurile internationale cu hitul ”Radioactive” si au adaugat in palmares doua premii Grammy, Imagine Dragons vin sa culeaga noi roade la Billboard Music Awards 2014. Rockerii au obtinut nu mai putin de 12 nominalizari, inclusiv la categoriile Top Artist, Top Duo/Group si Top Rock Artist.
Acestora li se alatura si interpreta hitului ”Royals”, tanara Lorde obtinand, la randul sau, tot 12 nominalizari. Dintre acestea, cantareata are sanse sa plece acasa cu trofee la categorii precum Top New Artist sau Top Female Artist.
De pe lista nominalizarilor nu lipsesc Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry si Miley Cyrus, artisti care au revenit in muzica in mod spectaculos in decursul anului trecut si au dominat topurile cu noile lor hituri. Foarte interesant este faptul ca Justin Timberlake apare la categoria Top R&B Album cu ambele discuri lansate in 2013, ”The 20/20 Experience” si ”The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2”.
Cantaretul american se va duela in aceasta categoria cu ”Beyonce” al lui Beyonce, cu ”Black Panties” al lui R. Kelly si cu ”Blurred Lines” al lui Robin Thicke. De asemenea, Justin mai este nominalizat si la categorii precum Top Artist sau Top Male Artist.
Katy Perry si Miley Cyrus se mandresc cu 10, respectiv 9 nominalizari obtinute la aceasta gala, cele doua cantarete urmand a concura una cu cealalta in categorii precum Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Digital Songs Artist, Top Streaming Artist si Top Hot 100 Song.
Printre alti artisti nominalizati se numara si Eminem, Rihanna, Avicii, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey si Drake. Ceremonia de decernare a premiilor Billboard Music Awards 2014 se va desfasura la MGM Grand Garden Arena din Las Vegas pe 18 mai. Evenimentul va fi transmis in direct de catre postul de televiziune ABC.
