Do you find it ironic that Arcade Fire and Esperanza Spalding are NOT nominated? I don’t. The Billboard awards are an overall measure of an artists success. So who do YOU want to see win? You know me…I’m rooting for my man…

I for one love Esperanza, she has good music. I felt the response of her winning at the Grammys was unfair to her, bieber fans taking to bash her. I mean have a sense of decorum.
But Im glad to see Eminem up there as well :D
And Wisin Y Yandel for Latin!
Totally agree. She is very talented. But I heard a lot of wondering why she wasn't up for nomination. To trash her win at the Grammy's was tasteless. :(
