Last evening the Skylight Studio, New York hosted the official launch of VEVO, the music video website started by Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. Some of the biggest names in Pop, Country and Urban entertainment appeared at the venue to debut their latest projects. Check out some the shots below:
Mariah Carey shut everyone down with those shoes!
Ciara experimented with this ‘look’. Okay then…
50 Cent and Mary J. Blige posed for the cameras.
Lady GaGa wowed the crowd with a performance of ‘Speechless’ from her ‘The Fame Monster’ LP.
John Legend kept warm in this ensemble.
Wyclef Jean was enjoying the festivities.
Music executive Doug Morris, L.A. Reid, and Mariah Carey were clearly some of the most powerful people at the event. O yeah, and Rihanna’s in the picture as well.
RIHANNA AND MARIAH THE MOST POWERFUL??? HOW ABOUT THE 2 BIGGEST FLOPS IN RECENT DEF JAM HISTORY, NOT TO MENTION LA REID HAS BEEN BEHIND SOME OF THE BIGGEST FLOPS IN MUSIC HISTORY. WHO KEEPS HIRING THIS D*****???
The TRUTH,
relax, Trent is just trying to be nice so the Rih stans will give him a break, he’ll go back to dissing soon i’m sure 🙂
I like Rihanna outfit from the waist DOWN… that hair is something else.
Idk WHAT Ciara is wearing but she’s still a very beautiful girl.
Mariah looks nice.
Gaga is … GAGA! she’s amazing! 🙂
Ew @ 50. i like Mary’s shades
@ the truth..tell em why you mad…lol..i dnt think trent meant rihanna, mariah only..i think he was talking about everyone in the post..why he decided to to pick flops and put them there as the most powerful people in the music industry is beyond me….that is a joke right????..
anyways, why does rihanna look a damn fool inbetween those execs..man this child tries to hard to be relevant..look at mariah posing and looking cool but not rihanna..sweety being associated with execs dnt make u are talented or a music star..take notes from mimi, she may have flopped but knows her worth…mimi is looking cute by the way..
cici was looking nice until i saw the red boots…why?????????…
mary and 50..ok i guess.
gaga gaga, respect the queen…who performs with a bloody mic on thier feet..lmaooooooo..this chick continues to slay and show why she is the queen..i hope rihanna was taking notes or hiding in a corner coz this is true talent and not what she does..whats funny is she was not even asked to perform..bwahhhhhhhhhh!!!
only noticed the booze in gaga’s hand..man i need to google this performance asap..this girl is the queen..who can do that right now????? R.E.S.P.E.C.T
Music executive Doug Morris, L.A. Reid, and Mariah Carey were clearly some of the most powerful people at the event. O yeah, and Rihanna’s in he picture as well.
^^ LMAO Trent! your so wrong for that!
also i agree that L.A. hasn’t been on his a game either. He also partly owns LaFace Recors(P!nk, Ciara, Usher) and most artists on there aren’t doing great lately. well p!nk is but that’s because she does her own thing. never listens to Reid.
John Legend looks so SWEET in that pic..lol..doing nothing to stop those rumors
Mariah her face and hair have never looked better as of recent times and her body is tight for the most part (we saw the untouched candids from HATEU video shoot) but I am really tired of these skin tight layered black ensembles with a tight ass jacket…lol. Kudos to her for being covered up tho. But seriously she has never looked prettier!
Rihanna is a bad b**** (not musically tho) and looks great. The blonde is growing on me but when she dies it back I don’t think I’ll miss it.
Gaga gives me LIFE and she looks beautiful here! WOW. Love the hair and make up I hope a vid comes up soon. Very interesting shes promoting Speechless, ppl will get to seee a new side of her.
@WTF i don’t think the mic is on Gaga’s feet its just how the pic was taken. Her leg is just up on the piano, but she IS epic!
LOOK @ MA WIFE CIARA LOOKIN GOOD.I LUV HER WEN SHE IS WEARIN ALL BLACK IT SEEMS TO LOOK REAL GOOD ON HER
DON’T 4GET 2 BUY “WORK” ON ITUNES IT WAS RELEASED AS A SINGLE YESTERDAY 12/8/09
It was a lot of great music hitters there. Ciara’s x-mas outfit was nice… I wish I could’ve heard Gaga’s performance even Adam performed at this event?
B**** pahleeze!!! How dare you diss Rihanna like that!!! Atleast she’s a real artist and not a theif and song stealer like beyawnce!!! That b**** is all show but hollow on the inside!!! She will never be a icon, legend or real artist!!! She’s a puppet and fraud!!! Nobody respects her and people with brains that know the deal will NEVER CALL HER ICON!!! She’s icon to her RETARDED STANZ!!! The b**** and pimp daddy Mathew should just get lost in the Bermuda triangle and NEVER RETURN!!!
The b**** say she’s a song writer but can’t read,spell or talk!!! And stans can’t come for me cause beyonce never finished middle school! She needs to take care of that hush child she and that hot mess of a teenage boyfriend she had!!! Beyonce doesn’t even clan her own child! SMFHOO
please tell me why everybody loves Lady Gaga
doesn’t anyone wonder why all these celebrities showed up for the launch of a website? To put together that many names it cost money to host that type of event. Clearly there is more going on then drinking & music. this must be a major business deal between the labels & all their pup-formers!
Mariah is just GORGEOUS
Ciara looks gr8!!!
Mariah i like the shoes not her…
Rihanna, she shoulda avoided the flicks
GaGa enjoy it now, b4 it fades hunni
MJB needs a face lift honestly she already cracked
Mr John Legend’s lookin cutie!
Wyclef no comment….
he didnt say anything good about rihanna, he separated her name with the others but your lack of inteliggence doesnt get it
to the one that said that LA Reid and Mariah are not powerful in the music industry just because of a few flops, it doenst mean anything, they are still legends and they will die being legends, they already have their name in the popular culture stardom so stfu
@rightround(U.S.A pride!)
pink is cool, usher and ciara, dont make me talk and laugh
Mimi is killin it wit them boots.
MARIAH IS A 70’S HAS BEEN MIDDLE AGED P*** STAR. CHECK OUT HER VID H.A.T.E.U. LATELY? YEA, EXACTLY. I WAS EXPECTING RON JEREMY TO ENTER STAGE LEFT AND BANG HER A FEW. PRETTY MUCH SUCKS (NO PUN INTENDED, HAHA.).
rihanna and beyonce with most number 1’s this decade right? sounds pretty good to me
Lady Gaga’s performance at the event:

I just noticed, Ciara looks like Amerie here. The hair, the style…yep. Not a good look for her though, just weird.
@WTF
“OH! her mic is on gaga’s feet! WOWZ!” you’re so dumb it hurts!
Wtf does Chris being sold out and rihanna not, have to do with this post?! you’re just a hater. NOBODY cares about what you say. people wouldn’t give a s*** if you were hit by a bus.
Ciara looks amazing.
