Before this year’s awards show airs, it’s always fun to take a look at the coolest performances through the history of the awards show.

5. Mariah Carey “I Still Believe”

Back in 1999, Mariah Carey shook the audience, as usual, with an amazing performance of her song “I still Believe.”

4. Rihanna “Love on the Brain”

During the 2016 BMA’s, Rihanna gave a powerhouse performance of her song “Love on the Brain,” which hadn’t received very much recognition at the time. The performance left the audience in awe, and was probably Rihanna’s best live vocal performance yet.

    3.  Bruno Mars “Treasure”

At the 2013 BMA’s Bruno Mars gave the audience a fun performance of his song “Treasure.” He had a stunning set-up, with a live band, and disco themed stage, which added throwback to the award show.

2. P!nk “God is a DJ”

During the 2003 BMA’s P!nk performed her song “God is a DJ.” Throughout the performance the audience saw what P!nk was capable of vocally, and saw a choreography like no other.

1. Michael Jackson hologram “Slave to the Rhythm”

Five years after Michael Jackson’s death, a hologram gave the illusion that he had returned to perform once again in 2014. He performed his hit song “Slave to the Rhythm,” from  the album “Xscape.”
