'I should be taken seriously': Justin Bieber emerges from an alien orb and gets booed by the crowd before taking home three awards... as Selena Gomez sizzles with sultry belly dance at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

By BIANCA CARNEIRO

Come and get it: Selena Gomez started off a star-studded night of performances with a song and dance to her latest single at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday

It's a toast to the top artists on the charts with a wild show of song and dance.
And that's just what Selena Gomez delivered as she led an evening of electric performances at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday.

Inspired: The former Disney star has said her performances of the tune were mirrored after Britney Spears' 2001 hit I'm A Slave 4 U

The 20-year-old former Disney star stepped out on stage surrounded by a bevy of dancers in a draping gold gown with matching futuristic hardware accents.
The young singer performed her latest single Come and Get It, a dance track off her upcoming album by the same name.
Selena jewelled her forehead in an homage to the Indian theme of her hit song, which she also conveyed with a sultry belly dancing break.

Born to perform: Justin Bieber brought back memories of Lady Gaga's egg performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards

On the road: Justin just wrapped up a world-wide tour

The performance takes a page out of the pop starlet book via Britney Spears' iconic Slave 4 U, which Selena has called an inspiration as she grows out of her Disney mold.
'I think [Britney's] one of the best that made that transition.
'That video ['Slave 4 U'] is so hot, it’s incredible, so I love that, and I definitely wanted to do that with my transition, but I don’t think there’s a path you have to follow. I think you just have to figure it out and hope for the best, so if it has a similarity, that’s only a compliment.'

He's surrounded: The 19-year-old was flanked by women off-stage as well as he reportedly sat beside Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift

Winner: Justin was honoured for being the Top Social Artist at the awards show

Not far away: Selena smirked while Taylor whispered an aside during Justin's award acceptance

Not a fan favourite: Justin was booed by fans as he accepted the Milestone Award

His only defender: The singer rationalized with haters that he is 'only 19' and 'should be taken seriously'
