Billboard Latin Music Awards: The Best and the Worst

The Billboard Latin Music Awards are back and better than ever! Here’s a look at the best and worst moments from this year’s show.

The Best

The best part of the night was when Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny performed their song “Dura.” The two artists brought so much energy to the stage and had the audience dancing along. It was a fun, high-energy performance that was one of the night’s best.

Other great moments included Rosalía’s performance of her hit song “Con Altura” and J Balvin’s performance of “Reggaeton.” both artists put on great showings and had the crowd singing along.

In addition, there were many great awarded given out throughout the night. It was wonderful to see so many different artists being recognized for their work.

The Worst

The Billboard Latin Music Awards are always a night to remember—and not always for the right reasons.

From outrageous fashion choices to head-scratching award decisions, the show never fails to deliver its fair share of WTF moments.

Here, we take a look at some of the most memorable (for better or for worse) moments from the show’s history.

Our worst list includes everything from MTV personality La La Anthony’s infamous 2010 red carpet outfit (a cream-colored dress with blinding sequins and cut-outs that left very little to the imagination) to Ricky Martin’s head-scratching performance of “Livin’ La Vida Loca” in 2004 (complete with Backup dancers in cages and Martin writhing on the floor).

And, of course, we can’t forget about Pitbull’s now infamous 2010 acceptance speech in which he dedicated his award to jailed Cuban artist Orlando Zapata Tamayo—only to be interrupted by Cuban exiles shouting “Libertad!” in the audience.

The Best and the Worst

The Billboard Latin Music Awards honors the best and brightest in Latin music each year. But with so many different genres and sub-genres, it can be hard to keep track of who’s who and what’s what. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the best and worst dressed celebrities at this year’s awards show.

From sleek and elegant gowns to daring and revealing outfits, there was a little something for everyone on the red carpet. But not everyone hit the mark. Here are our picks for the best and worst dressed celebrities at this year’s Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Best Dressed:
-Nicky Jam: The reggaeton singer kept it simple but stylish in all black. His tailored suit and crisp white shirt looked sharp against his black shoes and sunglasses.
-Becky G: The rapper/singer went for a classic Hollywood look with her Grecian-inspired gown. The flowing white dress was adorned with gold details that added a touch of glamour.
-Prince Royce: The singer looked dapper in a navy suit with black accents. His matching pocket square and shoes pulled the whole look together perfectly.

Worst Dressed:
-Daddy Yankee: The reggaeton superstar went for a bold look with his all-white outfit, but it just didn’t work. The white pants were too baggy and the button-down shirt was wrinkled.
-Karol G: The singer’s dress was pretty enough, but her hair and makeup were a hot mess. Her updo was messy and her lipstick was smeared all over her teeth.
-Gente de Zona: The Cuban group went for a beachy vibe with their linen shirts and straw hats, but it just came across as sloppy.
