The Fray Show us How to Save a Life
We were lucky enough to check out The Fray at the Billboard Awards on Monday night and they're one of our new favorite bands. Now the cute boys from Denver are getting ready to premiere a new version of their hit How to Save a Life. Make sure to check out the new video tomorrow night on MTV at 11pm.
The Billboard Awards
We got to watch the show from the press room so unfortunately we missed out on seeing all of the wonderful performances but we did enjoy The Fray, Fergie and Mary J Blige who was clearly the big Billboard winner of the night. Mary J took home nine awards including Female R&B/hip-hop artist of the year. Other winners included Carrie Underwood, T.I., Chris Brown, and Tony Bennett who was presented the Billboard Century Award by Stevie Wonder.
The Billboard Awards Arrivals
The Billboard Awards red carpet event was interesting to say the least. Watching the talent be escorted down the strip with publicists, stylists, and their entourage was a special treat. Not many stood out this time but we loved Carmen and Kristen Bell.
Billboard Awards Preview: Kristen Bell
We're here in the press room before the FOX Billboard Music Awards, and we just got done chatting with the adorable and super-sharp Kristen Bell, whose CW show, Veronica Mars, just got picked up for the remainder of the season. Congrats, Kristen! Here's what she had to say about the little show that could:
"The fans are not big in numbers but they're mighty in their roar.
Billboard Awards Preview: Chris Daughtry
Chris Daughtry is still going strong with his debut album, Daughtry, which is rocking the Billboard charts in the No. 2 spot. Needless to say, we were thrilled to sit down with him before the FOX Billboard Music Awards, which air tonight live from Vegas.
Billboard Awards Preview: Jibbs
American Idol finalists weren't the only young talents heating things up at the FOX Billboard Music Awards. We were also psyched to chat with 16-year-old hip-hop phenom Jibbs, who seemed wise beyond his years but had lots of boyish charm. It was Jibbs's first time in Las Vegas, and he was riding high on the success of his first single, "Chain Hang Low" (check out the video here) from his new album, Jibbs Featuring Jibbs.
Billboard Awards Preview: Ace Young
As you all know, we're at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards which air tonight on FOX and we're having a blast meeting lots of Fox TV talent and American Idol stars. We especially enjoyed getting some one-on-one time with Ace Young who was even cuter (and taller!) in person than he looks on TV and who has a ton going on right now.
He just came off the 60-show Idol tour and self-released his first single, "Scattered," which you can buy on iTunes.
Billboard Awards Preview: AI It Girl, Katharine McPhee
American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee is having a big year. In fact, we caught up with her in Vegas before the FOX Billboard Music Awards, just after she'd been named the Big It Girl at VH1's Big in '06 Awards (more of that to come soon). She has been super busy working on her debut album, which comes out January 30, enduring a rather grueling schedule to get it out by the beginning of the year:
"After the third week of recording 10 hours a day, I was like, I just want to make this record good.
