Don’t get us wrong — we love Nelly Furtado. But her performance of her new single ‘Big Hoops’ during the Billboard Music Awards fell a bit short of our expectations. With such big hits as ‘I’m Like a Bird’ and ‘Maneater,’ we were excited to see what the songstress had in store for us tonight.
2012 Billboard Music Awards Cut Off Donna Summer Dedication Performance Featuring Natasha Bedingfield
Disappointment isn’t a strong enough word to explain how we felt when they cut off Natasha Bedingfield’s performance of ‘Last Dance’ by the late Donna Summer.

After being in the bottom ‘American Idol’ contestant, Heejan Han entered this week with his tail between his legs.
