## Transcript

These are the top moments from Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards. Robin Thicke seemingly made a public plea to get his estranged wife Paula Patton back. [ MUSIC ]. [ MUSIC ]. No more blurred lines. Next, Michael Jackson performed, or did he? A hologram of the King of Pop moon- walked. [ MUSIC ] And brought some fans to tears. And Kendall Jenner had a rough time during the show, too. Something went wrong when she was introducing a performance. They made their debut on the Billboard 200 number two, this summer. And now we welcome One [ LAUGH ]. Guys, I'm the worst reader. [ LAUGH ] One, like, One Direction maybe?

Like Harry Styles? Too bad she was introducing the band 5SOS. Wrong number Kendall. A maybe explanation though. The reality starlet tweeted she wasn't wearing her contacts. More poised was pro J- Lo, who performed and took home the icon award. All you little ones sitting on the living room floor, watching the TV right now. Just like I used to do when I was back in the Bronx, have faith, dream big, think big and know that anything is possible! And more girl power. Marie and the Lamberts and Carrie Underwood do at it for the first time ever. It kicked ****. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ]. But perhaps our favorite moment, a lighthearted acceptance speech from none other than JT.

Who told his fellow top artist competitors. I love you guys. It's not a competition, but if it was I won. [ LAUGH ] Hey, and guess what. I'm okay with that. I wanna thank everybody on earth. Everybody on Earth except, except Donald Sterling. I don't wanna. Thanks for watching, I'm Lauren Zima.
