billboard music awards 2015 petition iggy thatgrapejuice

As reported here, music lovers’ fancy found no tickle when ‘Fancy’ hitmaker Iggy Azalea walked away with ‘Top Rap Song’ at this year’s Billboard Music Awards.

‘Got To Be Real’ singer Cheryl Lynn kept it all the way real on Twitter late last night when she popped off on fellow Grammy winning R&B legend Anita Baker.

Despite already boasting a diverse resume of collabos – from Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, and Ying Yang Twins to most recently sitting pretty on pop charts with ‘Pretty Girls’ (featuring rapstress Iggy Azalea), Britney Spears reveals via a recent Australian news interview that her “collabo wishlist” has only grown in recent years.

Firing off a number of interesting selections when quizzed on who she’d like to join forces with in the future, two names mentioned that may have earned a chuckle or collective side-eye glance were fellow Vegas-mates/powerhouse vocalists Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.
