VIDEO: Beyonce Performs At 2011 Billboard Awards, Receives Millennium Award, Shouts Out Jay-Z In Acceptance Speech

Beyonce received the prestigious Millennium Award at the 2011 Billboard Awards last night in Las Vegas. Her performance was precluded by a round of praise from some of the hottest celebrities – Bono, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Barbara Streisand, Lady Gaga, The Dream, and even a heap of compliments from our own First Lady, Michelle Obama. Beyonce’s parents also expressed how proud they were of their baby girl, and Beyonce’s nephew couldn’t help but shout, “I love you!”

Catch Beyonce’s performance, and her acceptance of the Millennium Award, in which she gives props to her “best friend.”
