Bruno Mars kicked off the 2016 MTV Europe Awards in fine, fresh fashion last night.
Held in Rotterdam, Holland, the show was dedicated to Prince and saw Mars and his “Hooligans” rock the house with ’24k Magic.’
The appearance is the latest in a long line of promo spots in place for the crooner’s third studio album (also titled ’24k Magic).’
In an era where showmanship is such a hard find, the 30-year-old continues to prove himself a rare gem.
Watch him work after the jump…
The years have certainly been kind to Kelly Rowland and rapper Nelly.
It’s been 14 years (yes, 14 years) since the duo delivered dynamite hit ‘Dilemma’ and neither have missed a step.
Celebrating their musical union, the pair appeared together at Drai’s Beach Club in Las Vegas, where they performed the global chart-topper.
Pics and clips after the jump…
Nick Jonas‘ videography has welcomed a brand new music video.
What for?
His new single ‘Champagne Problems’ which appears on his latest set ‘Last Year Was Complicated.’
What it’s all about?
It sounds like a party jam but in reality it’s about something pretty sad. We [Nick and ex-girlfriend Olivia] had this bottle of champagne that we were saving for our anniversary. We decided that we were going to celebrate the years we had together and the time that we spent together by sharing this bottle of champagne and closing that chapter of our life. Although it was a really sad moment, it was a nice way to kind of close things up. I’m sure she’s heard ‘Champagne Problems’ at this point. The concept of the song, which maybe doesn’t stand out on first listen, is ‘You’re amazing, you’re all the things I hope to find with somebody, but timing, circumstances, all these things play into it not being right”. Champagne is amazing, it tastes delicious, but gives you a really bad hangover.

Man, the #Beyhive are working overtime this week!
After fending off some racists traditional country fans for their fearless leader, Beyonce, they zeroed in on country star Kenny Chesney for looking visibly displeased during the Queen Bey’s performance. Once done with him the fan group turned their sights to ‘Clueless’ star Stacey Dash for slamming Beyonce’s mom, Tina Lawson.
Now, ‘American Idol’ finalist La’Porsha Renae is seeking treatment from bee stings as the #Beyhive have locked in on her for damning Bey’s country showing.
If Renae thought her Twitter dragging earlier this year for her anti-LGBT statements were bad, she was clearly unaware of what the Beyhive could do:
As emails published by Wikileaks continue to cast a confusing shadow over Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, the artist Azealia Banks has urged African-American voters to ask themselves on question.
What has she done to deserve your support?

T.I. has been one of the names notable for their efforts in raising awareness of racial injustice.
Hence, it’s little surprise that the King of the South is none-too-impressed with Lil Wayne‘s recent comments regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.
As reported, Weezy publicly disassociated himself from the initiative – declaring that he could not relate because he was rich, addding that he believed racism was no longer a reality. He cited the diverse nature of his audience as his rationale.
In an empassioned clapback, T.I let rip.

Solange has been receiving rave reviews for her new album ‘A Seat At The Table,’ yet her journey to emancipation started five years ago.
This week’s From The Vault journeys back to 2008, a time when the rising star released her first single in 5 years.
Today’s pick is retro number ‘I Decided’.
Serviced as the first single from Solo’s sophomore set ‘Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams,’ the track was produced by the mighty Neptunes and sampled the iconic handclaps from The Supremes’ ‘Where Did Our Love Go.’
In the US, the cut performed moderately well on the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B peaking at #44.
For its European incarnation, the throwback cut received a sonic facelift by British DJs The Freemasons which allowed it to access the UK and France’s Top 30 as well as Ireland’s Top 50.
***************
Acclaimed director and family friend Melina Matsoukas directed the cut’s video which retraced different eras in Pop culture. Travelling through time, the talented songbird can be seen as part of a Supremes-like ensemble performing during the Civil Right Movement era, as a Disco queen on Soul Train, an 80’s popstar in the MTV generation, and finally romancing a love interest in the future.
With its vivid vibrancy and use of pop art, the visual shared similarities with Rihanna’s ‘Rude Boy’ which was released a year later and was also directed by Matsoukas.
***************
We’ve long been rooting for Ms. Knowles – ever since ‘Hadley St. Dreams’ days. As such, we couldn’t be more amped about seeing her finally getting the recognition she deserves. What’s interesting with ‘A Seat At The Table’ is that its material isn’t far removed from what Solange has been servicing already for years.
Hopefully, the buzz surrounding the project won’t be temporary and will only allow Knowles to expand the conversation with her newly recruited supporters.
In there here and now, though, congrats to Solange for breaking through. At long last.
Still flying high on the critical acclaim of her tertiary opus, ‘A Seat at the Table,’ soulful songbird Solange delivered her debut performance on ‘SNL’ tonight (as previously announced here).
Showing off her oft-praised pipes, the singer/songwriter unveiled the first televised showing of hit songs ‘Cranes in the Sky’ & ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’ – both found on ‘Table’ (which hit #1 the week of its release).
Keen to judge how the youngest of the Knowles clan fared on the sketch comedy show? Her performance awaits you below:
