Did You See Rihanna Performing ‘California King Bed’ On American Idol?!

For the first time ever, Rihanna blew us away with her performance of her latest single, ‘California King Bed,’ when she took to the American Idol stage last week.

For years, all we could think about was Rihanna performing Mariah Carey’s ‘Hero’ during a school talent show. If you’ve seen it, you know what we’re talking about!

Seems the years have been good to Rihanna’s voice and she’s able to carry a tune during a live performance. We love a good RiRi jam, but we’ve never turned to her for a stellar vocal performance. Could things be changing?

MTV to debut new award show, The `O’ Music Awards, with the `O’ TBD

MTV is hoping to have another breakthrough in the world of music, and it seems like they are making a smart move.

MTV is naming its new digital music awards the OMAs — and leaving the “O” up for grabs.

The network is to announce Thursday that the O Music Awards will take place April 28. MTV is leaving the “O” undefined and open to interpretation from viewers.

The awards, the network said, “honor the migration of music to the digital space, and celebrate the art, artistry and technology of digital music.” MTV plans to present an untraditional, heavily interactive award show, spread out across multiple screens, including the Internet, social media and mobile.

MTV hopes the show will do for digital music what its Video Music Awards, launched in 1984, did for the music video.

“We think this space now needs an award show,” said Dermot McCormack, head of MTV Music Group digital. “We think we’re fairly well qualified to come up with a way of rewarding achievement in these new categories.”

MTV, which is part of the Viacom-owned MTV Networks, will later announce a “hub” for the event and categories. Categories could include things like best app and best Kanye West tweet. Social media buzz will play a role in choosing the winners.
