Why the iHeartRadio Music Awards needed an Oscars-style snafu
The best thing that can be said in regards to Sunday’s iHeartRadio Music Awards is that no one called Major Lazer in front of an audience to get a prize meant for the Chainsmokers.
On the other hand — possibly that was the most exceedingly bad?
Presently in its fourth year, these yearly awards show put on by one of the nation’s greatest broadcasters, which has worked out a large portion of the kinks that can trip up another production.
So congrats, iHeartRadio, for appropriately sorting your envelopes. Possibly the academy was taking notes.
However, on the grounds that nothing turned out bad amid this year’s show, broadcast live on TBS from the Forum in Inglewood, didn’t imply that everything went right.
In fact, a mistake like last week’s best picture occurrence at the Academy Awards might’ve been welcome, at this profoundly forgettable occasion, which felt just more pointless for occurring minor days after awards season should have ended.
Here are five moments that really happened at iHeartRadio — however won’t likely be recollected come Tuesday.
1. Katy Perry opened the show with yet another performance of her new single, “Chained to the Rhythm,” which she additionally sang as of late at the Grammy Awards and England’s Brit Awards. This time she did the tune from inside a hamster wheel, as a group of scrappy child laborers swung oversized mallets in a clear critique of the infotainment-industrial complex.
2. Accepting the award for song of the year (for his bubbling “Trolls” hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling”), Justin Timberlake gave a more direct political moment when he said the song was in regards to inclusion.
“On the off chances that you are brown, black, gay, lesbian or you are a transgender — or possibly you’re only a sissy singing kid from Tennessee — anybody that is treating you unkindly, it’s simply because they are apprehensive, or they have been instructed to be perplexed, of how vital you are,” the singer proceeded. “Since being distinctive means you have the effect.”
3. Miley Cyrus, that solid awards-show presence, turned up Sunday — however not, I’m sad to answer, to sing. Rather, she was at iHeartRadio to introduce a performance by her more youthful sister, Noah, whose debut single, “Make Me (Cry),” sounds like somebody murmuring a Weekend song in her sleep.
4. Only at the iHeartRadio Music Awards would Thomas Rhett, a menial Nashville striver, beat Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan for country artist of the year. On the other hand, Rhett really made it to the show to get his trophy, so reach your own conclusion.
Other enormous winners, in the event that you can call them that, included the Chainsmokers, whose “Closer” was named dance song of the year, and Ed Sheeran, who won best lyrics for composing Bieber’s “Love Yourself.”
5. Like Perry, Bruno Mars performed Sunday after previously hitting the Grammys and the Brits. In any case, here he blended it up a bit, combining his new single, “That is What I Like,” with his old “Treasure” for a regularly guaranteed performance of his wide music know-how.
As a subtopic, we likewise compiled a recap of the best 6 moments from the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
