Nicki Minaj Joins Britney Spears Tour

If you haven’t heard by now, Miss Nicki Minaj is joining Britney Spears on tour! She seems like a great fit…much better than Enrique Iglesias. Was Enrique actually considering going on tour with Brit Brit? Or was it just a PR stunt?

I think this calls for a Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears collaboration! Don’t you agree?

Britney Spears Performs On Good Morning America

Britney Spears made her first big appearance to promote the release of her new album Femme Fatale. Spears ‘performed’ 3 songs on Good Morning America in San Francisco. Femme Fatale is expected to be a big album for Spears, who is also scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.

We all expect Britney to lip sync, but we live for her dancing, but it just was not good. Sadly, it was reminiscent of Spears 2007 VMA performance. Sluggish moves that lacked the sharpness and excitement of the dancing fans have loved from Spears left her looking sloppy and out of shape.

Spears also came off as clearly not interested or excited when making her big announcement that she’s going on tour with Enrique Igslesias this summer.

New Album: Enrique Iglesias ‘Euphoria’ Available Now!

Enrique Iglesias’s highly anticipated first-ever bilingual album EUPHORIA is available in stores and online now!

Enrique Iglesias tells MTV News he was really thrilled to finally be creating an album — six years in the making — that would appeal to both English- and Spanish-language listeners.

“This is the album I always wanted to make,” Iglesias told MTV News, adding that he had to beg his label, Universal Republic, to allow him to produce the project this way.

“I grew up in Miami speaking Spanglish,” he continued. “I’m so excited about this album. You see so much Hispanic influence everywhere. I wanted to combine both of them.” Singing in both languages — “it would push me more,” he said.

2010 Billboard Latin Awards Move To Puerto Rico

For the first time in its more than 20-year history, the 2010 Billboard Latin Music Awards will take place in Puerto Rico, marking the first time the show goes on the road from its traditional Miami homebase. The awards, presented by State Farm, will be broadcast live on April 29, 2010, by the Telemundo network.

As part of the agreement signed between Telemundo, Billboard and the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, Billboard’s Latin Music Conference will take place April 26 to April 29 at the Conrad, San Juan, Condado Plaza in Puerto Rico.

The announcement, welcome by top Latin artists around the world, was made this morning during a press conference at the new Coliseo de Puerto Rico, where the awards will take place.

“I celebrate with great joy the fact that Puerto Rico will be the location for the Billboard Latin Music Awards,” said Colombian singer Juanes. “All the music in the region, in the island of music. Go Puerto Rico!”

Mexico’s Paulina Rubio labeled the move an “inspiring decision” while Enrique Iglesias said, “What great news, the Billboard Latin music awards in the island. I’m sure that they will be historic.”

This marks not only the first time the Billboard awards move to Puerto Rico, but also the first time any major Latin music awards takes place in that country, one of the hotbeds of Latin music. Of the 17 artists that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the past 12 months, for example, five – nearly a third – are Puerto Rican acts with vast Puerto Rican sales base.

“My island has always been witness to important musical events and for it to be the location for the 2010 Billboard Latin Music Awards brings great pride to our culture,” said Ricky Martin.
