The 2018 Teen Choice Awards announced many of their nominees on June 13, putting an array of America's most beloved entertainers up for popular voting that is now open and sure to be extremely viral.

For some quick tastes from the top categories, Choice Female Artist nominees are Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Demi Lovato, and Taylor Swift. This year's Choice Male Artists include Drake, Niall Horan, Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, and Louis Tomlinson. Those are great selections to choose from.

Voting is open either online via TeenChoice.com or by Twitter hashtag, one per Tweet by pairing a name with #ChoiceMaleArtist or #ChoiceFemaleArtist. The limit on enthusiasm is 10 votes per day, per category, for each platform user ID, a wrinkle some multiplatform fans are likely to use effectively. Among other things, for the musical artists, this really is a chance for their fan bases to show their love.

Get ready to move those thumbs — voting is officially OPEN for the 2018 #TeenChoice Awards! Submit your vote by tweeting with the category hashtag the name/handle of your choice, or head here: https://t.co/vqru7XJP9J pic.twitter.com/OwC0bx0kWh

— Teen Choice Awards (@TeenChoiceFOX) June 13, 2018

The competition in each category is interesting, for example Choice Latin Artist nominated J Balvin, Becky G, CNCO, Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi, and Maluma. J Balvin is super fresh, Becky G has many teens who identify with her, and Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi had last summer's biggest hit.

So the viral chase is on for fans to vote their Teen Choice Awards favorites up the ranks. On August 12 the winners will be announced live on Fox.

Who Are The Most Influential Women Musicians? lorde-amy-winehouse-lana-del-rey-more-named-most-influential-women-musicians-century

Lorde, Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey & More Named Most Influential Women Musicians Of This Century

NPR listeners voted for the most inspiring female artists, what do you think of the list?
Ana Yglesias

Nov 21, 2018 - 10:41 am

Three weeks ago NPR asked its listeners who they think are the most influential female musicians currently making waves of change. The question inspired over a thousand fans to participate in the poll and on Nov. 20, they shared the top 25 artists from the responses, which put GRAMMY winners Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Taylor Swift in the top five, along with more current-day sheroes, among them fellow GRAMMY winners Lorde, Amy Winehouse and St. Vincent and GRAMMY nominees Janelle Monáe, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande.

Watch Camila Cabello Speak Up For Dreamers

The list also includes GRAMMY winners P!nk, Alicia Keys and Adele and GRAMMY nominees Florence + the Machine, Sia, Halsey, Cardi B, Kesha, Kehlani, Demi Lovato, Lana Del Rey and Katy Perry.

NPR highlighted that while most of these talented artists fall under the umbrella of popstars, their style and influence is far from cookie-cutter, with authenticity playing a prominent role in responders' answers. In NPR's words: "While the majority of the artists you picked are pop singers, your comments show that this commonality doesn't mean they all exert influence in the same way. You remarked on artists' command of their instruments…their inventiveness around genre; their ability to be honest and authentic in their songwriting."

Others on the list include M.I.A., whose hit "Paper Planes" took over the airwaves in 2008, along with Camila Cabello, whose debut single as a solo artist took over the airwaves in 2017, as well as rising star Hayley Kiyoko, who sits at No. 4 on their list, although she only released her debut album, Expectations, earlier this year.

The poll also solicited comments from voters. "[Kiyoko] has influenced an entire new generation of youth to be comfortable with their own sexualities and does this with dreamy pop music that lifts spirits," Manpreet told NPR.

Another response pointed to the importance of Beyoncé, who took first place on the list, as a role model for young black girls. "Her mere presence is enough to encourage young black girls to strive for greatness," fan Niharika Palakodety said. "She doesn't shy away from saying things as they are, and her focus on every detail of her music makes it that much more important." 

The superstar herself seems deeply aware of this, which she reflected on during her acceptance speech for Best Urban Contemporary Album for her groundbreaking Lemonade at the 59th GRAMMY Awards. A then-pregnant, glowing-goddess Beyoncé shared during the show:

"It's important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty, so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirror, first through their own families, as well as the news, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the White House and the GRAMMYs, and see themselves and have no doubt that they're beautiful, intelligent and capable. This is something I want for every child of every race."

The stars were out last night in Sin City for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Hosted by Kelly Clarkson, the evening included memorable performances by BTS, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Salt-N-Pepa, and Janet Jackson, who received the Billboard Icon Award.

The show began with a heartfelt message from host Kelly Clarkson calling for a "moment of action" in the wake the tragic school shooting on May 18 in Santa Fe, Texas. Ariana Grande delivered the first performance of the night with her latest single, "No Tears Left To Cry." The first award dished out, Top New Artist, went to a very excited Khalid, who encouraged his fellow youth to stay positive and shouted out his hometown of El Paso, Texas.

Other key awards included Top Hot 100 Song, which went to Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber for their mega-hit "Despacito," Top Billboard 200 Artist Drake, Top Male Artist Ed Sheeran, and Top Female Artist Taylor Swift, who gave an empowering acceptance speech, sending love to her fellow female artists.

"I want to thank all the female artists who have paved the way for us to get to do what we do the way we get to do it," said Swift. "All the new artists, the new female artists, who are killing it out there right now, we're so inspired by you. And a shout-out to the future female artists who just picked up a guitar or learned how play the piano, and to the fans who care about the music that we make. Thank you so much."

Top Social Artist went to Korean pop sensations BTS for the second straight year. The group also performed their new single "Fake Love" from their album Love Yourself: Tear, which dropped last Friday, May 18. In addition to their award, BTS continuously received the loudest reception of screams from fans at the MGM Grand, and a photo from their backstage meeting with Taylor Swift set social media ablaze.

But the evening's biggest honor belonged to R&B/pop legend Janet Jackson, who became the first African-American woman to receive the Billboard Icon Award. Jackson also performed for the first time on television in nearly a decade, singing her hits "Nasty," "If," and "Throb" before the star-studded audience.

Other notable performances included Maren Morris and Zedd's "The Middle," Camila Cabello with Pharrell Williams doing their new duet "Sangria Wine," and Shawn Mendez joining Khalid and Majority Stoneman Douglas Student Choir for the moving version of their new song, "Youth." The show closed with Salt-N-Pepa reuniting for a medley of hits, including "Shoop," "Let's Talk About Sex," and "Push It" before bringing out En Vouge for "Whatta Man."

Poll: What's Your Favorite Classic GRAMMYs Performance?

Will it be Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar or Dixie Chicks?

There's nothing more exciting than watching your favorite artists accept golden gramophones at the GRAMMY Awards. But don’t forget: Music’s Biggest Night always turns out some amazing live performances.

Throughout the years, some of the biggest names in music have graced the GRAMMY stage with lively or touching performances and even epic collaborations. And now that the countdown to the 61st GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 10 is in full swing, we want to know: What’s your favorite classic GRAMMY performance?

Polls

What's Your Favorite Classic GRAMMYs Performance?

Let’s tackle these from the top: The GRAMMY stage would not be the same without the late, great Whitney Houston. Accompanied by an orchestra, the pop icon took the 36th GRAMMY Awards stage in in 1994 for a breathtaking performance of "I Will Always Love You." 

And remember how Christina Aguilera, Mya, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott and Pink brought Paris' Moulin Rouge to the 44th GRAMMY Awards with their famous rendition of "Lady Marmalade"? That performance came sealed with a guest appearance by the legendary Patti LaBelle, who originated the track in 1974 with her band Labelle.

We can't leave out the Dixie Chicks, who gave a touching version of "Not Ready To Make Nice" at the 49th GRAMMY Awards.

And there's Kendrick Lamar's powerful rendition of "The Blacker The Berry" and "Alright" at the 58th GRAMMY Awards in 2016, a performance that pointedly brought issues surrounding the prison industrial system into focus.

However, Beyoncé, a true showstopper, could take your vote with her golden performance of "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles." Singing while pregnant, Queen Bey managed to defy expectations by literally defying gravity at the GRAMMY Awards in 2017.

Ultimately, it could come down to a 60th GRAMMY Awards performance where Kesha, introduced by Janelle Monaé's #TimesUp speech, brought the house down by singing “Praying” alongside Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Julia Michaels and Andra Day.

And finally, Bruno Mars and Cardi B's ultra-colorful, ‘90s-themed "Finesses" performance is a worthy contender, too.

So, which will it be? Vote above, and check out this year’s sure-to-be-spectacular performances when the 61st GRAMMY Awards airs on Sunday, Feb. 10 on CBS.
