 The King of Pop and a likely successor, prince of pop Justin Timberlake, ruled the Billboard Music Awards — though Michael Jackson made a splash via hologram and Timberlake accepted his awards via video from overseas. 
  
 A hologram of Jackson made its debut Sunday, mirroring the late icon's signature slick dance moves as some members of the audience became emotional, while Timberlake won seven prizes, including top artist and Billboard 200 album. 
  
 "I want to thank everybody on Earth, everybody on Earth, except, except Donald Sterling," Timberlake said. ||||| Kevin Winter/Billboard Awards 2014/Getty Images for DCP A Michael Jackson hologram onstage during the 2014 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday. 
  
 The King of Pop slayed them at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night. 
  
 Michael Jackson was resurrected from the dead in hologram form, singing and doing his famous moonwalk in front of a star-studded Las Vegas audience. 
  
 Jackson performed his new hit “Slave to the Rhythm” off his posthumous album “Xscape” — which debuted last week at No. 1 in 50 countries. 
  
 In a show-stopping act produced by the Estate of Michael Jackson and broadcast on ABC, the “Thriller” singer appeared on stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to wild cheers and more than a few tears.

 The number started with a group of dancers dressed as storm troopers lining the stage, their chests emblazoned with the initials M.J. The curtain parted to reveal a digitally resurrected version of Jackson sitting on leopard-print throne. 
  
 Soon Jackson was in the spotlight, his high voice bouncing off the walls and his feet gliding across the stage as the crowd roared. 
  
 Dressed in red pants and a sparkly gold jacket sporting military epaulettes on the shoulders, Jackson, who died in 2009 at the age of 50 from a drug overdose, appear creepily real. 
  
 Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella A hologram version of the late rapper Tupac Shakur performed at the 2012 Coachella Music Festival in California. 
  
 As the audience watched, some people dabbed their eyes, perhaps wishing the image was real. 
  
 At the end of the performance, the crowd gave Jackson a standing ovation. 
  
 Like all things Jackson, the moment came with controversy. 
  
 On Friday, a federal judge in Nevada dismissed a lawsuit brought by Hologram USA and Musion Das Hologram Ltd. to stop the performance. The companies argued the awards show didn’t have permission to use it patented technology to bring Jackson back to the stage. 
  
 It was not the first time a dead performer has been technologically raised from the dead. 
  
 In 2012, a hologram version of rapper Tupac Shakur, killed in a 1996 Las Vegas shooting, performed at the Coachella Music Festival in California. 
  
 Similar technology was used in 2007 to make it possible for Celine Dion to sing a duet with Elvis Presley on “American Idol.”

Underwood hops on the hot yellow color trend train but makes it too fussy with a silver bodice that shows off deep cleavage. And the hair is too stiff. A total miss.

 G Worst: Miranda Lambert: Think pink! NOT. Is the country cutie trying to turn on hubby Blake Shelton with all the cleavage? It only succeeds in making Lambert look tacky and Dolly Partonesque instead of modern. 
  
 G Worst: Jordin Sparks: Okay, so the sparkly dress isn't horrible, but still doesn't bring out the best in the former American Idol winner -- and the bad hair puts it over the top. Sparks severe hairdo makes the usual polished and classy singer look unkempt.

 G Worst: Lance Bass: The former 'N Sync singer looks like he's going to a preppy college event instead of an awards show with this ill-fitting suit, pink and blue plaid tie, and casual sneakers. And he's hosting the Billboard Awards red carpet show! 
  
 G Worst: Kesha: Although Kesha is more pulled together than normal, this grey and black strapless mermaid-style gown doesn't flatter the pop star. Oddly, when combined with her matronly hairdo and lack of a necklace, the 27-year-old star looks too old. Tik Tok, indeed! 
  
 G Worst: Roshon Fegan: The Disney kid, former Dancing with the Stars competitor and musician is winning no new fans with this getup that looks like a basketball outfit instead of a red carpet winner. Red sneakers, droopy shorts, and two-toned hair won't bring his career up a notch. 
  
 G Worst: Josh Groban: Yawn. Couldn't the pop star at least have worn a tie to please his rabid fans, the Grobanites! This wrinkly basic suit with pocket handkerchief seems to say, "I just want to fade into the background." 
  
 G Worst: Lucy Hale: This is colorblocking hell. The young and pretty Pretty Little Liars star's blocks of blue, yellow, and pink somehow make her look short and squat instead of chic. And also, this is more a ladies' who lunch look instead of a dress for a music awards show. 
  
 G Wackiest: Ludacris: The rapper/actor walks the Billboard Music Awards red carpet in a blinding pink tie, pink pocket hanky, and plaid shirt. Did he compare notes with Lance Bass to create this strange preppy look? He's having a good time but it's an overdose of pink. 
  
 G Best: Chrissy Teigen: John Legend's model wife gets into the spirit of the music awards with this mini dress that's reminiscent of a fan. The heavy bangs are a bit much but we can only assume Chrissy's going for a '60s vibe. Her legs look great. Did Teigen, who has said she never wears underwear, go commando? Only her singer husband knows! 
  
 G Best: Florida Georgia Line: Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of the country pop duo add some pop to the the red carpet before performing on the Billboard Music Awards. Both look sexy cool and evoke the new country spirit--Kelley in his brown fringe jacket and pendant necklace and Hubbard with his all-black ensemble with lots of buttons on his jacket. 
  
 G Wackiest: Jennifer Lopez: Hey, there little Red Riding Hood, you sure are looking...well, maybe not good, but certainly wacky! JLo is sure to stir debate in this low cut, sheer lingerie-style gown that shows off, well, just about everything! Is the American Idol judge getting too old for this at 44? It worked in 2000 with her famous green Versace jungle dress at the Grammys, but in 2014 at the Billboard Awards? Not so much! 
  
 G Best: Luke and Caroline Bryan: Cute couple alert! The country singer nominated for top male artist at the Billboard Awards does well with a simple matchy matchy light grey suit with black shirt and black boots while his wife Caroline has fun with a bold minidress bursting with orange color. The best part is they look like they're having a great time! 
  
 G Worst: Nicki Minaj: Where's our little blondie? Where's our playful ladybug? The rapper and former American Idol judge famed for her cray cray attitude and style disappoints us this time with a, strange to say, dull bondage gown. Minaj has been toning her look down big-time lately but it just doesn't feel right. Bring back the real Nicki! 
  
 G Worst: Sarah Hyland: Fashion watchers keep saying it, but young actresses don't get the message--don't dress waaay older than you are! The Modern Family 23-year-old is too fun for this tight-looking Chanel evening suit, even with the edgy zippers. She looks uncomfortable in it, too. 
  
 G Worst: Kendall and Kylie Jenner: The youngest Kardashian sisters continue to make a spectacle of themselves in their too-bare, trashy/tacky getups! We could maybe give Kendall, 18, a pass for her plastic pants, inappropriate (for a kid) cutaway top, and overdone eye makeup, but there's no excuse for 16-year-old Kylie wearing a too-tight, low-cut dress where you can see her nipples. And the hair, oh, the hair. 
  
 G Worst: Shakira: The smoking hot singer and American Judge doesn't need to wear a netted, overembelished dress that makes it clear she can't wear underwear. Shakira, please, take a page from Sofia Vergara's book and dress your curves more classily! 
  
 G Best: Ricky Martin: He bangs, he bangs, oh baby! When you have a body as toned as Martin, you don't need to do too much and he's the picture of elegance in this fitted suit with tie and dark lapel. The best dressed man on the whole red carpet. 
  
 G Wackiest: Kelly Rowland: Okay, so Rowland is known for trying to be a fashionista, but this ensemble proves that the crop top trend has officially jumped the shark! NO MORE CROP TOPS, stars! And not only do we have to look at the former Destiny's Child beauty's midriff but her boobs, too, accented by far too many gold bracelets (but no one will be looking there all evening, will they?). Smells like a sad attention-getting move. 
  
 G Wackiest: Rapper Wiz Khalifa is known for smoking a lot of weed, so was that how he got his inspiration for his ripped jean, white coat, and head scarf outfit? Only his dealer knows for sure! Meanwhile, his baby Mama Amber Rose appears to be mirroring the bizarre sun visor look of Donald Sterling's mistress, V. Stiviano! Still, for a music awards show, we love it. 
  
 G Worst: Shania Twain: To think this woman was once the sexiest gal in country music. Yes, we know she’s pushing 50, but beautiful Twain doesn’t need to hide in this boring, absolutely uninspired black dress and long overstyled hair that simply drags her down. We don’t feel she feels like a woman in this no-effort look. 
  
 G Wackiest: Natasha Bedingfield: Sorry, but this is no Pocketful of Sunshine from the British singer! From the baggy white low-waisted pants to the sheer floral overlay to the bra top, this is a whole lot of fashion don'ts. 
  
 G Worst: Billy Ray Cyrus: I guess this is what an aging country singer who doesn't care puts on for an awards show? The father of twerk queen Miley Cyrus seems miles away from his Achy Breaky stardom days in ripped jeans and an old-looking leather jacket and boots. Hey, Miley, can't you help your dear old dad update his style? 
  
 G Wackiest: Drake Bell: Ludacris and Lance Bass both put a preppy spin on their Billboard Awards show outfits, but singer Bell made it even worse by shunning a suit. He'd be more welcome in Palm Springs or at The Beverly Hills Hotel (valet, I need my car!) than Las Vegas in this bright orange polo shirt, white pants, greasy hair and sneakers. |||||
What is a summary?
– Justin Timberlake was the big winner at last night's Billboard Music Awards but the real star was his idol: Michael Jackson. The singer was resurrected as a hologram that performed his "new" hit "Slave to the Rhythm" off his posthumous album in front of a thrilled crowd at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena, reports the New York Daily News, which found the late singer's hologram to be "creepily real" as it moonwalked across the stage. Timberlake won a total of seven prizes, including top artist, NBC reports. "I want to thank everybody on Earth ... except Donald Sterling," he said, accepting his award from overseas via video.

Artikel: Breaking News E-post Få bryta nyhetsvarningar och särskilda rapporter. Nyheterna och historierna som är viktiga, levererade vardagsmorgnar. / Uppdaterad / Källa: Associated Press Kungen av Pop och en trolig efterträdare, prins av pop Justin Timberlake, styrde Billboard Music Awards – även om Michael Jackson gjorde ett plask via hologram och Timberlake accepterade sina utmärkelser via video från utlandet. Ett hologram över Jackson gjorde sin debutsöndag, speglande den sena ikonens signaturslicka dansdrag då vissa medlemmar av publiken blev känslosamma, medan Timberlake vann sju priser, bland annat toppartisten och Billboard 200 album. "Jag vill tacka alla på jorden, alla på jorden, utom Donald Sterling", sade Timberlake. Kevin Winter/Billboard Awards 2014/Getty Images for DCP Ett Michael Jackson-hologram på scenen under 2014 års Billboard Music Awards på MGM Grand Garden Arena i Las Vegas på söndag. Kungen av Pop dräpte dem på Billboard Music Awards söndag kväll. Michael Jackson återuppstod från de döda i hologramform, och sjöng och gjorde sin berömda månpromenad inför en stjärnstupad Las Vegas-publik. Jackson framförde sin nya hit "Slave to the Rhythm" utanför sitt postuma album "Xscape" — som debuterade förra veckan på No. 1 i 50 länder. I en uppvisningsakt som producerades av Estate of Michael Jackson och sändes på ABC, framträdde "Thriller"-sångaren på scenen på MGM Grand Garden Arena för vilda jubel och mer än några tårar. Kevin Winter/Billboard Awards 2014/Getty Images for DCP Ett Michael Jackson-hologram framförde 'Slave to the Rhythm' utanför sitt postuma album 'Xscape.' Kevin Winter/Billboard Awards 2014/Getty Images for DCP Hologram visade upp några av kungen av Pops signaturdansdrag. Kevin Winter/Billboard Awards 2014/Getty Images for DCP Publiken på Billboard Music Awards gav hologrammet en stående ovation. Föregående Nästa Förstora Antalet började med en grupp dansare utklädda till stormtrupper som kantar scenen, deras bröst emblazoned med initialerna M.J. Ridån skildes åt för att avslöja en digitalt återuppstånden version av Jackson sittande på leopard-tryck tron. Snart var Jackson i rampljuset, hans höga röst studsade mot väggarna och fötterna glidande över scenen när folkmassan brusade. Klädd i röda byxor och en glittrande guldjacka med militära epåletter på axlarna verkar Jackson, som dog 2009 vid 50 års ålder av en drogöverdos, krypande verklig. Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella En hologramversion av den sena rapparen Tupac Shakur uppträdde på 2012 års Coachella Music Festival i Kalifornien. Medan publiken såg på, svidade en del människor sina ögon och önskade kanske att bilden var verklig. I slutet av föreställningen gav publiken Jackson en stående ovation. Precis som med Jackson kom ögonblicket med kontroverser. På fredagen avfärdade en federal domare i Nevada en stämning som väckts av Hologram USA och Musion Das Hologram Ltd. för att stoppa föreställningen. Företagen hävdade utmärkelserna visar inte hade tillstånd att använda den patenterade tekniken för att få Jackson tillbaka till scenen. Det var inte första gången en död artist har återuppstått från de döda. 2012 uppträdde en hologramversion av rapparen Tupac Shakur, dödad i en Las Vegas-skjutning 1996, på Coachella Music Festival i Kalifornien. Liknande teknik användes 2007 för att göra det möjligt för Celine Dion att sjunga en duett med Elvis Presley på "American Idol." På en mobil enhet? Klicka för att se videon. G Värst: Carrie Underwood: Landets skönhet har haft en hel del bra modedagar men tyvärr är detta inte en av dem! Underträ hoppar på det varma gula färgtrendtåget men gör det för kinkigt med en silverbodis som visar upp djup klyvning. Och håret är för stelt. En total miss. Annons G Värst: Miranda Lambert: Tänk rosa! Inte. Försöker han sätta på Blake Shelton med all urringning? Den lyckas bara få Lambert att se smaklös och Dolly Partonesque ut istället för modern. G Worst: Jordin Sparks: Okej, så den glittrande klänningen är inte hemsk, men ändå tar inte fram det bästa i den tidigare American Idol vinnaren -- och det dåliga håret sätter den över toppen. Sparkar svår frisyr gör att den vanliga polerade och stilrena sångaren ser ovårdad ut. Advertising G Worst: Lance Bass: Den före detta 'N Sync sångaren ser ut som han ska till en preppy college händelse istället för en prisutdelning med denna illa passande kostym, rosa och blå rutig slips, och casual sneakers. Och han är värd för Billboard Awards röda matta show! G Worst: Kesha: Även om Kesha är mer sammandragen än normalt, denna grå och svarta remlösa sjöjungfru-stil klänning inte smickrar popstjärnan. Märkligt nog ser den 27-åriga stjärnan för gammal ut när hon kombineras med sin matronska frisyr och avsaknad av halsband. Tik Tok, verkligen! G Värst: Roshon Fegan: Disney-killen, före detta Dancing med Stars-konkurrenten och musikern vinner inga nya fans med denna getup som ser ut som en basket outfit istället för en röd matta vinnare. Röda sneakers, hängiga shorts och tvåtungat hår ger inte karriären en skåra. Gvärst: Josh Groban: Yawn. Kunde inte popstjärnan åtminstone ha haft slips för att behaga sina rabiata fans, Grobaniterna! Denna rynkiga grunddräkt med ficknäsduk verkar säga, "Jag vill bara blekna i bakgrunden." Det här är färgblockerande helvete. Den unga och söta lilla lögnarestjärnans block av blått, gult och rosa får henne att se kort och huklös ut istället för chic. Och det här är mer en dam som ser ut som lunch i stället för en klänning till en musikutmärkelseshow. G Wackiest: Ludacris: Rapparen/skådespelaren går på Billboard Music Awards röda matta i en bländande rosa slips, rosa pocket-hanky och rutig skjorta. Jämförde han anteckningar med Lance Bass för att skapa den här konstiga preppy-looken? Han har kul, men det är en överdos rosa. G Bästa: Chrissy Teigen: John Legends modellfru kommer in i musikutmärkelsens anda med denna miniklänning som påminner om ett fan. De tunga smällarna är lite mycket men vi kan bara anta att Chrissy satsar på 60-talsvibbar. Hennes ben ser bra ut. Har Teigen, som sagt att hon aldrig bär underkläder, blivit kommandosoldat? Det är bara hennes sångarman som vet! G Bästa: Florida Georgia Line: Brian Kelley och Tyler Hubbard av country pop duon lägga till lite pop till den röda mattan innan de uppträder på Billboard Music Awards. Båda ser sexiga coola ut och väcker den nya countryandan – Kelley i sin bruna fransjacka och hängsmycke och Hubbard med sin helsvarta ensemble med massor av knappar på sin jacka. G Wackiest: Jennifer Lopez: Hej, där lilla Rödluvan, du ser verkligen... ja, kanske inte bra, men säkert knäpp! JLo är säker på att väcka debatt i denna låga snitt, ren underklädes-stil klänning som visar upp, ja, nästan allt! Är den amerikanska Idol-domaren för gammal för det här när han är 44? Den fungerade 2000 med hennes berömda gröna Versace djungelklänning på Grammys, men 2014 på Billboard Awards? Inte så mycket! G Bästa: Luke och Caroline Bryan: Söta par alert! Countrysångaren nominerad till topp manliga artist på Billboard Awards gör bra ifrån sig med en enkel matchig, ljusgrå kostym med svart skjorta och svarta stövlar medan hans fru Caroline har roligt med en djärv minidress som spricker med orange färg. Det bästa är att de ser ut att ha kul! Var är vår lilla blondin? Var är vår lekfulla nyckelpiga? Rapparen och före detta American Idol-domaren som är känd för sin kratiska attityd och stil gör oss besvikna den här gången med en, underligt att säga, tråkig bondageklänning. Minaj har tonat ner blicken rejält på sistone men det känns inte rätt. Ta tillbaka den riktiga Nicki! G Worst: Sarah Hyland: Modeväktare säger det hela tiden, men unga skådespelerskor förstår inte budskapet – klä dig inte waaay äldre än du är! Modern Familj 23-åring är för rolig för denna strama Chanel-kvällsdräkt, även med de kantiga blixtlåsen. Hon ser också obekväm ut. G Värst: Kendall och Kylie Jenner: De yngsta Kardashian-systrarna fortsätter att göra ett skådespel av sig själva i sina för barska, skräpiga/tackiga getups! Vi kan kanske ge Kendall, 18, ett pass för hennes plastbyxor, olämpligt (för ett barn) cutaway topp, och överdrev ögonmakeup, men det finns ingen ursäkt för 16-åriga Kylie som bär en för tät, lågskuren klänning där man kan se hennes bröstvårtor. Och håret, åh, håret. G Worst: Shakira: Den rykande heta sångerskan och amerikanska domaren behöver inte bära en nätt, överinfattad klänning som gör det klart att hon inte kan bära underkläder. Shakira, snälla, ta en sida ur Sofia Vergaras bok och klä dina kurvor mer elegant! G bästa: Ricky Martin: Han bankar, han bankar, åh baby! När man har en kropp så tonad som Martin behöver man inte göra för mycket och han är bilden av elegans i denna försedda kostym med slips och mörkt lapel. Den bäst klädde mannen på hela röda mattan. G Wackiest: Kelly Rowland: Okay, så Rowland är känd för att försöka vara en fashionista, men denna ensemble bevisar att grödan topptrenden har officiellt hoppat hajen! Inga fler toppar, stjärnor! Och inte bara måste vi titta på det tidigare Destiny's Child skönhet midriff men hennes bröst också, accentuerade av alldeles för många guld armband (men ingen kommer att titta där hela kvällen, eller hur?). Det luktar som en sorglig uppmärksamhetsrörelse. G Wackiest: Rappare Wiz Khalifa är känd för att röka mycket gräs, så var det så han fick sin inspiration till sin sönderrivna Jean, vita rock och huvudscarf outfit? Bara hans langare vet säkert! Under tiden verkar hans lilla Mama Amber Rose spegla det bisarra solvisiret från Donald Sterlings älskarinna, V. Stiviano! Men för en musikutmärkelse, älskar vi det. G Värst: Shania Twain: Att tänka sig att denna kvinna en gång var den sexigaste tjejen i countrymusik. Ja, vi vet att hon trycker 50, men vackra Twain behöver inte gömma sig i denna tråkiga, helt oinspirerade svarta klänning och långa överstilade hår som helt enkelt drar ner henne. Vi känner inte att hon känner sig som en kvinna i denna no-effort utseende. G Wackiest: Natasha Bedingfield: Tyvärr, men detta är ingen Pocketful of Sunshine från den brittiska sångerskan! Från säckiga vita lågwaistade byxor till den rena blommig overlay till BH toppen, detta är en hel del mode inte. G Worst: Billy Ray Cyrus: Jag antar att detta är vad en åldrande countrysångare som inte bryr sig sätter på sig för en prisutdelning? Pappan till den twerkdrottningen Miley Cyrus verkar milsvida från sin Achy Breaky stjärntid i sönderrivna jeans och en gammaldags läderjacka och stövlar. Miley, kan du inte hjälpa din kära pappa att uppdatera sin stil? G Wackiest: Drake Bell: Ludacris och Lance Bass båda satte en preppy spin på sina Billboard Awards show outfits, men sångaren Bell gjorde det ännu värre genom att sky en kostym. Han skulle vara mer välkommen i Palm Springs eller på The Beverly Hills Hotel (valet, jag behöver min bil!) än Las Vegas i denna ljusa orange polotröja, vita byxor, flottigt hår och gymnastikskor. Vad är en sammanfattning?

And not only do we have to look at the former Destiny's Child beauty midriff but her breasts too, accentuated by way too many gold bracelets (but no one will look there all night long, right?). It smells like a sad attention movement. G Wackiest: Rapper Wiz Khalifa is known for smoking a lot of grass, so that's how he got his inspiration for his torn Jean, white coat and head scarf outfit? Only his dealers know for sure! Meanwhile, his little Mama Amber Rose seems to reflect the bizarre solar visor from Donald Sterling's mistress, V. Stiviano! But for a music award, we love it. G Worst: Shania Twain: To imagine that this woman was once the sexiest girl in country music. Yes, we know she prints 50, but beautiful Twain doesn't have to hide in this boring, completely uninspired black dress and long overstyled hair that simply pulls her down. We don't feel like she feels like a woman in this no-effort look. G Wackiest: Natasha Bedingfield: Sorry, but this is no Pocketful of Sunshine from the British singer! From baggy white lowwaisted trousers to the pure floral overlay to the bra top, this is a lot of fashion not. G Worst: Billy Ray Cyrus: I guess this is what an aging country singer who doesn't care puts on for an award ceremony? The father of the twerk queen Miley Cyrus seems miles wide from her Achy Breaky star time in torn jeans and an old-fashioned leather jacket and boots. Miley, why don't you help your dear dad update his style? G Wackiest: Drake Bell: Ludacris and Lance Bass both put a preppy spin on their Billboard Awards show outfits, but singer Bell made it even worse by shunning a suit. He would be more welcome in Palm Springs or at The Beverly Hills Hotel (choice, I need my car!) than Las Vegas in this bright orange polo shirt, white pants, greasy hair and sneakers. What is a summary?
– Justin Timberlake var den stora vinnaren på gårdagens Billboard Music Awards men den riktiga stjärnan var hans idol: Michael Jackson. Sångerskan återuppstod som ett hologram som framförde sin "nya" hit "Slave to the Rhythm" utanför sitt postuma album framför en hänförd publik på Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena, rapporterar New York Daily News, som fann den avlidne sångerskans hologram vara "creepily real" när den månvandrade över scenen. Timberlake vann totalt sju priser, inklusive toppartisten, NBC reportage. "Jag vill tacka alla på jorden ... utom Donald Sterling," sade han, acceptera sin utmärkelse från utlandet via video.
