Exclusive: Beyonce to Receive Billboard Millennium Award

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted May 9th 2011 02:15PM

Although Beyonce Knowles may already don the title of Queen B, Billboard is making it official, awarding the superstar with 2011's Billboard Millennium Award.

Knowles, who has been topping Billboard's charts since 2003, will be honored May 22 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, hosted by funny man, Ken Jeong. Her influence on the industry as a Sasha Fierce performer, actress and producer has cast her as a true living legend -- only magnified by her union with equally influential music master, Jay Z.

The 'Single Ladies' singer will also be accompanied by her peers, Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum and Taio Cruz who will all perform at the show.

Born and bred as a founding force behind Destiny's Child, she had us all saying her name before she went solo. From there, Knowles has gone on to win 16 Grammy Awards and shattered Billboard records with hits like, 'Beautiful Liar.'

It's no doubt that Knowles knows how to 'Run The World (Girls)' and her fourth studio album, set for release later this year, will continue to lead her from Destiny to reality.

Britney is the only one that deserves this awards, she is the best
selling singer in the last decade and she is the pop princess. She
influenced our lives for so many years!!!

Beyonce is good performer but she is severely overhyped and overrated.

By V

Leave the woman alone.
She works and continues to work extremely hard to have and be where she is today.
All you haters should probably be judging yourselves.
No 1 really knows her besides her friends and family... and they shouldn't even be allowed to judge.
Anyway...congradulations Beyonce.. Know you probably not reading this but congrats
