More proof that people are sick and tired of having the toy department politicized.

Movies, concerts, football games....people are NOT tuning in for a political lecture.

I never knew Billboard had a broadcast show.
So there.

(What station was it on?)

More Trump-bashing.

I thought the country is hungry for the Blue Wave?

Apparently not.

I know the management group behind the BBMA lol. There are conservatives there and they are actually happy it bombed. If anyone actually knows how bad it was? They were GIVING away the tickets, MORE than the allowed budget. They were just there to get money from the sponsors and the network. They did their job as pros, just dont ask them about the ratings.

Pretty impressive - there were 7 million people who knew it was happening. That was probably the number of people who were up for awards plus their Moms.

I remember watching music awards show back in 1979. It was a different era. The music artists were respectful and seemed honored to receive their awards. I think Steve Martin might have been the host. Steve Martin was coming off his "King Tut" fame so he was probably a good choice to host the show.

I remember some of the acts. You had Supertramp for "Breakfast In America." Fleetwood Mac for "Tusk". John Stewart for "Bombs Away Dream Babies." The Knack got an award for Best New Artist. Donna Summer, Bee Gees, The Cars, Anita Ward, Sister Sledge, Eagles, and Blondie were other acts that got awards.

Those were halcyon days for the music business. You could turn on Top 40 radio and hear a lot of good pop songs.

I saw that Kelly Clarkson had her moment. I told my husband that it was probably not too smart to mouth off the night before her final contestant on the Voice is up to win. Just saying that her comments may have a negative effect on the voting. As I told hubby, she may have dixie chicked her chances.

I enjoy music awards when there are good performances. There were only a few last night. I missed the Kelly Clarkson gun grabber speech. She needs to get back out to her original people in Texas and away from the limelight to realize how empty and ignorant her statement was.

I later turned it off during ‘ode’ to gun control mid show and did not tune back in. Later learned they had the Parkland choir on with them. Jeez.

Maybe if there was better music.

I bet the Country Awards coming up in June have a falloff as well since there is nothing “Country” coming out of Nashville nowadays.
