For all her vocal prowess, Mariah Carey also serves as one of the music industry’s most seasoned and successful songwriters; a status which earned her the Icon Award last night at the BMI Urban Awards in Los Angeles.

The star-studded affair saw the likes of Fantasia and Joe celebrate the 42 year old diva with rendition of some of her biggest hits – including ‘Hero’ and ‘We Belong Together’.

Check out more pics from the night below. What’s more, That Grape Juice were in the house at the event, so be sure to keep it locked for exclusive red carpet interviews.

Last year saw Cheryl Cole at the centre of one showbiz’s biggest stories. Indeed, after ample hype, the singer signed up to judge on the season premiere of The X Factor USA only to be unceremoniously dumped one episode in.

Since then, the Girls Aloud star has focussed on strengthening her brand on home-soil – with varying results. For, while comeback single ‘Call My Name’ serves as one the biggest UK singles of the year, its housing album ‘A Million Lights’ and follow-up singes have underperformed.

In a bid to reverse her so-so fortunes, the 29 year old has headed back to the platform that catapulted her to solo stardom – The X Factor UK.

Despite boasting appearances from One Direction, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, it seems last night’s VMAs  is one MTV won’t be too pleased about today.

This, because after pulling in an audience of 12.4 million last year, last night’s show welcomed a less than stellar 6.1 million, likely to have been affected by the momentum garnered by close competitor, President’s Obama‘s speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The Hollywood Reporter explains:

“About 6.1 million viewers tuned into Thursday night’s telecast of the VMAs, dropping more than half its audience from last year’s record 12.4 million haul. In the network’s target 12-34 demo, the VMAs drew a 5.3 rating.

Year to year, the VMAs were down more than 50 percent in total viewers.”
