Beyoncé Knowles Runs the Billboard Awards Show With a Hot Performance and a Sweet Acceptance Speech

Beyoncé Knowles took center stage at the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas tonight. She performed her new single, "Run the World (Girls)," in a sexy sparkling barely there dress before being presented with the Millennium Award. The honor recognizes Beyoncé's music and her involvement in The Survivor Foundation's humanitarian work. The singer was not only celebrated with a statue, but also with a video tribute that included clips from First Lady Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and her mom Tina. Beyoncé kept it in the family when accepting the award and gave a shout-out to her husband Jay-Z in her speech.

"who remembers Cher's tacky Navy ship frock? WTH.... When was this. Can't even compare Cher to Beyonce. Cher reeked and still does.... of desperate "Please God, I neeeeeed to be young forever" tactics. If those of you who are not blinded by envy (I understand. I was there at one point in my life too) you will notice that Beyonce never lets them shoot close up booty shots, zooming in between her legs and thighs. However, the camera was all up and in Rihannas little hot short, thong type one piece outfit. Beyonces having none of that. Check out her pics above. This is how you seperate class from trash!

Nah. Beyonce doesn't grind on men AND women and have to resort to dressing this way because she has no talent. The girl does have talent and she wears what she likes because she can.

her voice sounds like when someone rubs a balloon and it squeeks a real flat, irritating, sound. And the almost not there body suits are so done and tacky

Beyonce's dress reminds me of the one Milla Jovovich wore at an awards show around the time Fifth Element came out. 1998 maybe?

She may wear revealing clothing, but is never in the desperate way other artists do. For some reason Beyonce can pull it off without looking objectified. And the girl can daaaance.
