Wednesday, December 23rd, 2015. Annually, Billboard recognizes a group of influential women of the musical industry. The initiative Billboard Women In Music achieved highlight each of the performers at the time, who in turn are rewarded for their achievements and musical contributions. The gala was held last December 11st, and was televised this week. We managed to see the facets and musical experiences of every woman in the entertainment business.
Each musical exponent represented a different view of the world to another. For example: Selena Gomez with her new album, was known as the leader of the musical billboard; Kelsey Ballerini, as a rising star; Loretta Lynn as a legend; Brittany Howads of the independent group Alabama Shakes such as an electric or Powerhouse singer; Missy Elliott, as innovative; Tory Kelly as new artist, this girl has managed to stay with a particular style of a powerful raspy voice; Demi Lovato, like a broken rules or Rulebreaker; Lana del Rey, as a pioneer; and Lady Gaga as the Woman of the Year.
As we see the event not only supports a woman’s style, but recognizes women’s work in music in general; uncatalogued or pigeonholed into genres. In addition, the celebration highlighted three important words: innovation, capacity and pioneer woman of the year. Innovation, always we know with Missy Elliot; as being a renowned singer Hip Hop, she should know how to behave and bring fresh ideas to her followers. As a tribute Ciara, she stressed the talents of her friend; He is honored by a children’s dance, much to what we are used to seeing in their videos.
The pioneering artist, was the award given to Lana del Rey; highlighting her contribution to the world of music, and how she has managed to be faithful to her own style in a musical system that advances and must adapt to the demands of the popular world. Very shy and dressed in a black-colored suit, Lana stressed her need or interest in being a composer rather than performer. A common idea in the universe Lana, where power lies in her vocal tone and lyrics, well above the massive show.
Woman of the Year award was for the mommy monster or Lady Gaga, the singer with the most resonance in 2015, thanks to her television participation and major awards nominations. Rank was presented by her mother Cynthia Germanotta, who recalled anecdotes from her daughter. Then Gaga let a flawless performance, and next tearfully emphasize the value of women in the entertainment industry. Here you have from YouTube channel, the entire presentation in honor of Gaga:
