Usher and Alicia Keys rule at Billboard Awards

Usher dominated the Billboard Awards from the moment he opened the Las Vegas show by dropping from the ceiling until the evening’s final tally, when he counted up 11 awards to lead all contenders.

Usher’s awards last night included artist of the year, R&B/hip-hop album of the year for Confessions and Hot 100 single of the year for Yeah! featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris.
