The “Love You Like A Love Song” singer will be joined by Cobra Starship, who will perform their single “You Make Me Feel…” live with Sabi.

Beyonce’s “Best Thing I Never Had” Gets A Hip-Hop Overhaul

With house remixes of Beyonce’s “Best Thing I Never Had” currently heating up dancefloors around the world, it was only a matter of time before a canny MC molded the break-up anthem into an urban club-banger. You can now get crunk to the pulsating diva’s current top 20 hit courtesy of Lil Jon and DJ Kontrol. Their version features fat beats and a rap by rising star Shawty Putt. It’s probably not what the Roseland Ballroom performer had in mind when she recorded the Babyface-penned ballad, but we like it. Drop it low to Bey’s latest after the jump.

Jessie J Talks Bullying And Broken Feet In “Who’s Laughing Now” Behind-The-Scenes

“I was bullied, as nine out of ten children are, and I want to be a role model,” says Jessie J in the behind-the-scenes footage of her bully-defying “Who’s Laughing Now” video. Well, she can tick that off her To Do list — the Brit singer was honored with the title of Best Role Model in Pop Music, as voted by music fans on CapitalFM. (We’re sure there was some heavy competition, too, since every other song on the radio is about self-empowerment and ignoring your haters.) Watch the video’s behind-the-scenes below — and find out why there was no major dance break in the clip.
As it turns out, Jessie — who plays various roles in the video — had a broken foot during the length of the shoot. Still, the show must go on! Good for her there were plenty of places to sit on set.
