The stars shine for one of popular music’s biggest calendar nights – the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards!
Despite airing virtually (due to the ongoing global health crisis), the show is most definitely is going on — as is its red carpet, which is taking place right now.
See and sound off on the fashion hits and misses, then tell us who you are most interested in seeing below:
Chloe X Halle served up a main-event slay at the pre-show for the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards.
The singing sisters have been drumming up all sorts of buzz thanks to their enchanting sound and magnetic performances.
Moments ago, the Parkwood Entertainment pair delivered on both fronts with their live rendition of ‘Ungodly Hour’ – the title track of their critically acclaimed sophomore album.
Watch the GRAMMY nominees in action after the jump…
Adele isn’t letting the global health crisis rain on her parade.
The freshly svelte ‘Hello’ singer shared the shot of herself above in commemoration of what would have been day one of London’s world-renowned Notting Hill Carnival – which takes place annually.
As reported, the physical celebration was postponed until 2021 due to health concerns. Instead, the festivities have moved to virtual terrain this year.
Still, in keeping to the theme (which celebrates Caribbean and Black music more broadly), Adele rocked a Jamaican flag and bantu knots.
Chloe X Halle continue a string of dynamite performances.
The duo made an appearance at the US Open to perform their songs ‘Busy Boy,’‘Forgive Me,’ and ‘Do It’ from their ‘Ungodly Hour’ album.
Armed with their magnificent harmonies and magnetic stage presence, the Parkwood Entertainment pair proves why they earned two GRAMMY nominations in 2019.
Check out their stunning performances of ‘Busy Boy,’ ‘Forgive Me,’ and ‘Do It’ below:
Katy Perry is pressing on with the push for new album ‘Smile.’
Moments ago, the new Mom popped the cork on the video for the song ‘Champagne Problems.’
Seemingly filmed before the advanced stages of the singer’s pregnancy, the visual joins a growing list of clips released in support of the LP – including ‘Daises,’ ‘Harleys In Hawaii,’ and the project’s title track.
The raunchy video for ‘WAP’ helped Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion nab a historic #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
And while the much-loved clip continues to accrue hundreds of thousands of views a day, it would have played out slightly differently if Cardi got her way.
For, in a new interview with Hot 97, the femcee revealed that original plans were for Lizzo to make a cameo appearance.
In commemoration of Michael Jackson‘s 62nd birthday, the singer’s estate teamed with Spike Lee to unleash a new version of the King of Pop’s ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ music video.
Timely, in light of the rifeness of social injustice, the refreshed version of the visual spotlights the Black Lives Matter movement and more.
A life long philanthropist and social activist, Jackson used his platform to propagate the need for equality. Hence, it’s fitting that said sentiments are being continued posthumously.
Speaking on the release, Lee (who directed the 1995 original) said:
“Great Protest Songs Can’t Get Old, Stale Or Nonrelevant Because The Struggle Still Continues. That’s Why THEY DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT US IS The Anthem During This Chaotic, Pandemic World We Are All Living In. To Celebrate Michael Jackson’s Born Day, We Have Made The THEY DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT US 2020 Short Film To Continue The Struggle For Equality For All. That’s The Truth, Ruth. Be Safe.”
The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards air tomorrow live from New York City.
With the global health crisis still being a reality, MTV has shifted from its traditional inside venue to an outside format.
This year’s show will focus on the strength of New York City with performances taking place all around the city with limited to no audience.
With the bleak quality of 2020 this year’s show needs an extra boost of life. How befitting it is that the network announced actress, singer and philanthropist Keke Palmer as this year’s host.
That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid caught up Palmer ahead of the show and spoke with her new about new EP ‘Virgo Tendencies’ and the 2020 VMAs – in which she discussed her preparation for the big night as well as sharing an exclusive with us.
Katy Perry‘s new album arrived in stores this week and based on first week sales forecasts, she’ll have some reason to ‘Smile’ and some reason to… not.
Little Mix have unveiled the first look at their brand new BBC show – ‘Little Mix: The Search.’
As reported, the series – which will air Saturday nights later this year on BBC One – will see Jesy, Jade, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne form and mentor new groups.
The ladies, who themselves were formed on The X Factor, will use their expert insights to group hopefuls into bands who will live together and gain access to their inner circle — including vocal coaches, songwriters, producers and stylists.
The eventual winners will then join the ladies on the road for their upcoming tour.
