Promotion (89,152) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This award highlights her Billboard accolades and achievements so displaying her stats is not a bad idea. They have done this with all the previous honorees as well. We can never change history so why should we downplay MC's achievements because of how it looks or how it's perceived. She has earned her accomplishments and they should be respected and celebrated accordingly. Just my thoughts. (Friday 12 April 2019; 15:38)

Artist of the Millennium (89,151) by Bill from the UK Just in case no one realised, Artist of the Millennium was awarded at the World Music Awards. (Friday 12 April 2019; 15:30)

Re: 2019 BBMA Icon award (89,107) (89,150) by Edouard from France Haha Shezz, exactly what I though when I read the post. I was like "got to say something" and then I was like, no I'm gonna comment of as a mean guy, which I'm not. You said it elegantly though. But so true. Thank you. (Friday 12 April 2019; 15:22)

Re: Horrible promotion for BBMA (89,139) (89,149) by Edouard from France Hi, kind of agree with you. I also noticed they showed a clip with no music and MC in gown on every image. No clip of Honey and sexy Mariah in hot pants. Thankfully they added the mention "revered songwriter", which is something new I believe. (Friday 12 April 2019; 15:20)

Re: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Music Awards (89,141) (89,148) by Edouard from France I believe she should start with the opening of the Caution World Tour, with the high notes in the dark in front of the giant pink M and everything. (Friday 12 April 2019; 15:18)

Happy anniversary (89,147) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Happy 14th anniversary to the contemporary R&B classic gem The Emancipation Of Mimi. (Friday 12 April 2019; 15:08)

Awards (89,146) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This major awards are given to anyone that whatever committee feels will bring and attract more attention and viewership, basically if it was based on merit and achievement JLo is the least qualified musically speaking out of all the previous honorees. Honestly speaking we as fans and supporters of MC should be happy that she is finally getting her gifts while she is still here to receive them. As far as the medley Fantasy must be included as it was the birth of the hip-pop formula as we know it today. (Friday 12 April 2019; 14:58)

Re: Horrible promotion for BBMA (89,139) (89,145) by SM from Citizen of the World Isn't Billboard about sales though? (Friday 12 April 2019; 14:18)

Re: Iconic performance (89,142) (89,144) by Tijl from Belgium That would indeed be an iconic performance. Okay, who has Tanaka's number? (Friday 12 April 2019; 13:37)

Re: Iconic performance (89,142) (89,143) by B from USA Dreamlover Fantasy remix Heartbreaker remix It's Like That A No No (Friday 12 April 2019; 13:36)

Iconic performance (89,142) by Andrew from London UK Mariah cannot deliver a powerhouse vocal anymore and she doesn't dance or even move much. So she will have to do a medley. I suggest this: 1. Spotlight. "Looking In" first and second verse. "The real me..." fades into drum beats for: 2. "Emotions" chorus, no intro. High note is cut off by: 3. "Yo New York in the house" and first verse and chorus of Fantasy. "Not sleepen" cuts off to: 4. "Gimme your love"s from the Heartbreaker JV remix for the second verse finishing on the "break my heart" fade to silence and black: 5 . Drum beat. "I came to have a party." Pause. Rest of verse and chorus of ILT. Cuts to: 6. "Obsessed" verse and chorus. Cuts to: 7. "A No No" verse and chorus. Fade out to silence 8. Last verse of "Looking In". "It seems as though I've always been..." Off the top of my head that would be awesome and have meaning and would flow with fast pace. She needs an avalanche of dancers with amazing choreography and a lighting display and pyrotechnics worth a small fortune. Please the Lord, no Hero, no WBT, no VOL. Just dance tracks to make people party and remind them of her. (Friday 12 April 2019; 12:50)

Re: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Music Awards (89,138) (89,141) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true, "Fantasy" changed everything. I hope she does a great medley of the songs that everyone know plus one new or a remix. That J.Lo got this award before Mariah is a shame. I also think the Millenium Award was given by the World Music Awards. (Friday 12 April 2019; 11:07)

Re: BBMA style (89,133) (89,140) by Tijl from Belgium I like the performance at the MTV Movie Awards in 2005. That was a great look on her. (Friday 12 April 2019; 09:44)

Horrible promotion for BBMA (89,139) by automatic_prince from Germany First of all I'm super happy for Mariah. That being said, I really hate the way they choose to promote it. When I saw her insta story I cringed so hard. They ask, "What makes a legend?" Why do they always have to emphasize how much she sold in the 90's? This really makes her look like a has been. I'm my opinion she deserves this award but not because of how much she's sold. In my opinion they should have put more emphasis on how she's helped shape modern pop music. Her style of singing, introducing rappers to pop songs etc. But well... her team just doesn't get it. (Friday 12 April 2019; 09:22)

Re: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Music Awards (89,130) (89,138) by Stacey from USA No to Migrate, lol. Songs she should sing would be Always Be My Baby. Another must would be the Fantasy remix. That song single handedly changed the face of music. That song alone makes her an icon. (Friday 12 April 2019; 08:05)

Re: B (89,137) by Nikki from usa I believe the Artist of the Millenium Award was given to her by the World Music Awards. (Friday 12 April 2019; 07:25)

Icon award (89,136) by Nikki from usa "Prestigious"? The fact they debuted the award by giving it to Jennifer Lopez invalidates it altogether. She's had the least amount of success on the Billboard charts. They should've given it to Aretha Franklin as a debut while she was still alive. At the very least, Christina Aguilera should've received it before Lopez. I'm not sure what something as vague as "icon" is supposed to represent at this point. (Friday 12 April 2019; 07:21)

Re: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Music Awards (89,130) (89,135) by Licia from USA I'm hoping she has something good planned for the performance and not the same old songs. Either way congratulations. (Friday 12 April 2019; 03:42)

AOTMA (89,134) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The artist of the millennium award was given to MC by the World Music Award where is the most awarded artist. (Friday 12 April 2019; 03:31)

Re: BBMA style (89,129) (89,133) by B from USA I hope she works with an a list stylist and gives us old Hollywood glamour. She should wear Valentino or Prada. (Friday 12 April 2019; 03:26)

Medley performance (89,132) by Dove from United States If she's getting a 15 minute medley performance slot: Migrate Obsessed Thirsty Say Something (if it's worth your while do something good to me) Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Dreamlover Heartbreaker Fantasy Honey Emotions (12" Club Mix intro) Giving Me Life Outside She did Vision of Love last time she performed on BMA and Butterfly is her favorite (and arguably her best) album that's why there are two songs from BF on this list. If I had to remove one I'd remove Honey. I don't want to see the songs we always see her perform. I think we'd all like something fun, upbeat, and new mixed in with some number ones for the locals. Side note: Giving Me Life should be the new single. They can make a video from her NY performance mixed with fun video from the tour. I'd like to see her wear pants so she can move around and dance. Maybe crystal encrusted pants or a jumpsuit with a butterfly buckle belt. Or those yellow glittery Balenciaga boots Michelle Obama wore on her book tour - but pink. I hate to say this but the pink Giambattista Vallidress Jennifer Lopez wore to the Second Act premier would have looked so good on Mariah. That shade of pink looks great on MC. Her legs would be on full display and her chest would be covered so it's a little modest but the top is still fitted. I just hope she wears some amazing ensembles to this.

Re: BBMA (89,127) (89,131) by Stacey from USA Artist of the Millennium was I thought from the World Music Awards. No? I'm not sure either, lol. (Friday 12 April 2019; 02:22)

Mariah to receive Icon Award at Music Awards (89,130) by Dove from United States I hope she performs some upbeat songs and gets the locals to their feet. Maybe Migrate? (Friday 12 April 2019; 00:58)

BBMA style (89,129) by Norman from USA What are the chances of Mimi having a stylist like Patricia Field, Adam Selman, or Marni Senofonte? I mean, maybe a couture Zac Posen? On a scale of 1 to Migrate is her next single? Per chance to dream. (Friday 12 April 2019; 00:37)

Re: Iconic response (89,122) (89,128) by B from USA Maybe she'll throw shade at last year's recipient in her acceptance speech. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 23:42)
