“Live” from Las Vegas and co-hosted by Ludacris and one of our favorite people in life and on Twitter (fall back haters) Chrissy Teigen, the 2015 Billboard Music Awards were once again shown to the west coast THREE HOURS LATE. And no, we won't stop bitching about it until we are on an even playing field with the east coast. Work it out. OK, venting aside. Missing the Mad Men finale meant that you got to see David Lee Roth's happy face along with Van Halen, Taylor Swift winning a shit ton of awards and “stepping out” with Calvin Harris, Mariah Carey probably regretting not jumping on the lip-sync train, Kanye's over editing because ohhh what will Kanye say next, ohhhh he's sooooo scary, and a Simple Minds/Breakfast Club tribute to make your parents (and some of us) feel like they belong.

It seems like awards shows have lost their luster but thanks to on-line interaction, they're kept highly entertaining by people's nitpicking throughout. And we're totally down with that. While we ran play-by-play commentary on the show behind closed doors, here's what Twitter was saying about the #BBMAs for the whole world to see. And may we say, we admire your balls.
