The Billboard Music Award finalists have been announced, and they're basically the usual suspects. The better question is, who has the lead going in?

Adele's name appears in 18 different categories, including the coveted Top Artist category, where she will compete against Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry and Rihanna (who was the leading finalist last year). Meanwhile, electro-pop duo LMFAO is a finalist in 17 award categories, including Top Duo/Group and Top Hot 100 Artist.

But there are plenty of artists to choose from. Nicki Minaj’s "Barbz" will surely be rooting for her in the Top Female Artist and Top Radio Songs Artist categories, and Bruno Mars is a finalist in several categories, including Top Male Artist and Top Hot 100 Artist.

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast live on May 20, 8/7c on ABC. In the meantime, who are you rooting for?

    ANYONE but Adele, dangit!! I'm so sick of hearing her.


    ... well okay, ALMOST anyone.
    Obviously Icki Minaj shouldn't even be up there, but I'm not too concerned about her. She has no chance. Neither does Bruno... They can both roll off a cliff in a flaming barrel for all I care.

    Preferably Mother Monster, she deserves the prize, but Katy Perry would be just as good!

    All the other artists (besides Lady Gaga, monster forever! <3) kinda suck... so Adele's the obvious choice. Who I really want to get big is Gotye, he's amazing.

    Adele is the most exciting new voice to come along since Madonna and Whitney Houston. She is in a class by herself and appeals to a wider variety than most other artists. I wish her well.

    I don't see what the big deal is about Adele. I mean, she's got a pretty good voice but her songs annoy me because they don't make sense. How does one chase pavements? What the hell does rolling in the deep mean? How the hell can you set fire to rain? It seems like she's trying to be deep and poetic, but it just ends up not making any sense. I'm not trying to hate, I mean, she's doing her thing and she's successful at a really young age, so kudos to her, I'm just personally not a fan. I vote for Lady GaGa, because even though she's kind of strange, that girl can sing and she's a good songwriter.

    I'd like to frame your comment and put it on my wall. That was BRILLIANT.

    I've been saying similar - yes, she's talented, we get it, but she's also got many flaws; NO I don't mean her appearance or weight, that has nothing to do with my judgement (if it did, I'd be one HELL of a hypocrite!! Haha)

    She's NOT original, as you said, her lyrics make no sense even if one tries to look at it from a different perspective, and she made a HIT album... over a bad break-up.

    ... isn't that like paying tribute to someone that hurt you...??? Why not just send him flowers and a thank you card while you're at it, Adele.

    But I digress.... I don't know what kind of voodoo she used to become as popular as she has, but it didn't work on me - I don't much care for her songs. "Someone Like You" is like grinding sandpaper on my ears. "Rolling in the Deep" sounds similar to that "The Black Horse & The Cherry Tree" if you slowed it down and took away the up-beat mood.

    And any other song... eh. It's not my cup of tea, but now when I hear her come on the radio, I have to resist giving my radio the bird before changing the station. It's not Adele I hate per se, it's all the damn PRAISE she's gotten for work that isn't even THAT spectacular.

    Obviously she's going to sweep the whole awards ceremony.

    Everyone else has gone down in quality of music, but besides Adele I'm really rooting for Katy Perry.

    common misconception. Adele is the only one who doesnt use an autotuner. Gaga and Perry are the only ones that sound good live. also, Gaga only uses it for the sound effect, not because she cant sing.
  • ViRGiNi... Rukasak... 2012/04/22 09:18:30

    I most definitely agree with you! Also, Bruno Mars sounds great live too.
