Kelly is hosting! Which is interesting—she’s TV gold and super charming/likable, but award show hosting is such a tough, unforgiving gig and I can’t tell if her off-the-cuff humor will translate when she needs to read off a prompter and move a show along. But it’s cool she’s even open to something like this these days.

Kelly Clarkson is a fantastic personality and she's gonna kill it. Maybe the VMA's can pick her to host this year too as their last two hosts have been comedy voids.

They really lost all credibility with nominating the Cash Me Outside girl

They really lost all credibility with nominating the Cash Me Outside girl Billboard Music Awards nominations are based on chart/commercial performance. While they're probably overweighting the social component so that they can nominate "exciting" names, they clearly didn't go TOO far in that direction. BTS doesn't have any nominations beyond the social media category.

I'm viewing this as Kelly's audition for her own variety show starting spring 2019 on NBC (kicked off by a holiday special this Thanksgiving night).
Get it girl

I'm expecting Ari to perform No Tears To Cry at the show, she has performed twice at the show in promotion of a single for an era 2014's show with Problem & 2016's show with Into You

Janet Jackson to Receive Icon Award at 2018 Billboard Music Awards
News
By Abby Jones | May 07, 2018 9:37 AM EDT
Janet Jackson has been one of music's leading voices since the '80s, and now the pop legend will be honored with an appropriately prestigious award at this year's Billboard Music Awards. Dick Clark Productions and NBC announced Monday (May 7) that Jackson will be receiving the coveted Icon Award, which recognizes singers' contributions.
Along with receiving the honor, Jackson is also scheduled to deliver a highly-anticipated performance, which will be her first on television in nine years. She joins the club of Icon recipients along with Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion and Cher.
Kelly Clarkson will be hosting the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, which will broadcast live from MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday, May 20 at 8 p.m. ET /5 p.m. PT.
To celebrate her award and forthcoming performance, Billboard has compiled a playlist of some of Jackson's biggest hits.

Excited for Kelly to host!
But puzzled at the lack of male artists, including the most nominated of the night. Nothing from Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran... and no rap?
