Madonna a bocca asciutta, e Lady Gaga a sorpresa vincitrice grazie al calore dei fan.
Billboard Touring Awards 2012 finalmente ufficializzati, con il MDNA Tour battuto in volata dal The Wall Live di Waters e dal tour di Bruce Springsteen. Nada premi anche per Guy Oseary, giustamente sconfitto da Mark Fenwick, così come per Madonna, che si ferma così a DUE vittorie (2004: Madonna, Re-Invention World Tour (Caresse Henry top manager – 2009: Madonna, Sticky & Sweet Tour (Guy Oseary top manager). Anche se con ZERO nomination all’attivo, in poche parole, l’unica che ride è proprio lei. Lady Gaga.
