The 2012 Billboard Music Awards took place Sunday night on ABC and it was really all about the performances. Especially considering it was another award-filled night for Adele. So we have selected our favorite performances of the show to share with you, in case you missed it.
There was no lip-syncing allowed with The Wanted, which made their performance so genuine and great.

John Legend and Jordin Sparks paid homage to Whitney Houston with heartfelt performances. I teared up when they panned Bobbi Kristina in the crowd.

And…surprise!! Nelly Furtado is back! I didn’t love her performance, I’m only listing it because her return is newsworthy. So here’s hoping there’s good stuff on her forthcoming album.
