BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS 2011

Last night, the Billboard Music Awards recognized the artists who have contributed the most to this past year of music. Taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the biggest names in music came to Sin City to celebrate their craft. Hosted by funnyman Ken Jeong, the awards were very entertaining the entire three hour broadcast. Performances included Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull and Ne-yo, Lady Antebellum, Ke$ha, Far East Movement f/ Snoop Dogg, Keith Urban, even Neil Diamond amongst others.

And who can forget Beyonce [entire story in itself] and Britney Spears who performed with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. Though I love me some Britney, why is she lip-syncing to everything? It's not like she's dancing her heart out like she used to...check out her cameo in Rihanna's performance!

'TILL THE WORLD END REMIX FEATURING NICKI MINAJ & KE$HA

I guess another track leaked, what else is new. This time it's the Till the World Ends Remix featuring NICKI MINAJ and KE$HA. Nicki who will be touring with Britney for her upcoming Femme Fatale tour raps in the opening of the song, while Ke$ha who wrote the track for Britney sings the chorus. I like this version a lot better because it has a heavier bass and is more danceable than the original.

SADOMASOCHISM RI-RI-MIX WITH MISS BRITNEY!!!

What better combination can you have that the hottest artists out today?! Rihanna and Britney Spears are showing the music world that Sadomashochism (S&M) is something to be reckoned and they are not afraid to express it. Now you can officially hear Rihanna's smash single S&M Remix with Britney Spears! Check it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W9eHjS3tWk&feature=player_embedded

Rihanna asked her 4.4 million Twitter followers who should she collaborate with on S&M song. "In order to do a remix, it had to be major. I asked my fans last week who they wanted me to collaborate with, and Britney was one of the most popular names." On Elvis Duran and the Morning Show Rihanna explained, "It's very strange: Britney never does features. It was really amazing that she really wanted to be part of this song. She really liked the song to begin with, but it was a different story when she had to sing it, and she really wanted to be a part of it. It made it really special, because you never see two pop female artists doing songs together anymore. Just call us 'R&B.' " [[CLEVER IF I MUST SAY RI RI]]

Though I love the song, it seems Britney's voice is out of sync with Rihanna's. Maybe once the editing is done to make Britney's verse and collaboration in the song more in sync then this could be another smash single to the already popularized version.
