Mary J. Blige Sweeps Music Awards


Singer Blige sweeps music awards

Soul singer Mary J Blige has swept the Billboard music awards in the US, collecting nine trophies, including female R&B artist of the year.

The 35-year-old, whose latest album The Breakthrough topped the US charts, was among the performers at the ceremony held in Las Vegas.

But Blige lost out to Barbados-born singer Rihanna in the female singer of the year category.

Veteran performer Tony Bennett won a lifetime achievement honour.
