Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj and Pitbull have been added to the stellar lineup of performers for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, which will air on ABC Sunday, May 22, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas at 8-11pm ET/PT.
The trio joins previously announced performers Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Keith Urban and Taio Cruz.
Fueled by the fantastically filthy hit "F**k You," Cee Lo Green's latest solo album "The Lady Killer" built upon the singer/songwriter's legacy as a member of Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley. "F**k You" climbed to No. 2 on the Hot 100 earlier this year, while Green can now be seen coaching prospective vocal talents on NBC's new singing competition, "The Voice."
Minaj takes the stage as a finalist for four Billboard Music Awards, including Top New Artist and Top Rap Artist, after her debut disc "Pink Friday" hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The Young Money star has most recently been rocking stages across North America on her mentor Lil Wayne's I Am Still Music tour.
Pitbull enjoyed another year of hits, both with his own tracks ("Hey Baby (Drop it to the Floor)," "Give Me Everything") and as a guest feature (Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love," Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor"). The rapper is a finalist for three Billboard Music Awards, including Top Latin Artist.
All of his singles are either **** or okay, and the okay ones are good at first and then get old really fast. Not interested in him.
