BEST PERFORMANCE- Diamonds at VS Fashion Show
e437: I think you did quite a good job. The bio is good, but I kept on thinking, since we did Chris Brown too, I thought that maybe you could've been adding more about this controversy. Loud is a very criticized album and I will be honest with you, I listened to a part of it, but I never did listen again. And I like Loud the most out of her albums so great choice. Umbrella is an okay choice, but she has better songs. I think that maybe you should've been explaining a little bit better your choices, instead of just listing stats there. And I like the performance, but I want to know why did you choose it.

Biography
Christopher Maurice Brown, known better today simply as Chris Brown, was born on May 5th, 1989 to Joyce Hawkins and Clinton Brown. Chris lived in the small town of Tapphannock, Virginia. After realizing that he had an interest in music, Brown began to listen to soul, R&B, and hip-hop albums, genres which influence his current musical style. He cites Michael Jackson as his chief inspiration. This attraction to music drew him to performing in the local church choir and in several talent shows. Because his performance abilities were so impressive, Brown and his mother began searching for record deals. They hoped that his music would eventually get free them from the hardships that were the consequences of Joyce and Clinton's divorce (and later, domestic abuse at the hand of Joyce's boyfriend). Brown was later approached by Hitmission Records, a production company that prepped him for an audition at Def Jam Recordings. Soon after this audition, Brown was offered a record deal through the Island Def Jam Music Group, and was well on his way to becoming the pop-R&B superstar he is today.

Best Song - Run It!
Chris Brown's breakthrough hit and one of the biggest urban songs of the noughties, Run It! featuring Juelz Santana is the perfect choice for Chris Brown's best song. Anyone who was listening to music in 2005 (Run It!'s release date) knows this song. The song was and is huge, thanks to Chris Brown's smooth vocals and its knocking beat. The song is undeniably catchy. More importantly, however, the song showcases everything we love about Chris Brown; fun with a good bit of spunk and edge to it. There's no question about it; this is Chris Brown's best song.

Best Album - Exclusive
This is the Chris Brown we want to remember. Packed with urban bops, it's hard to have at least one part of your body moving to the beat of each song as you listen. The album, Chris Brown's sophomore release from 2007, contains iconic hit singles such as Wall to Wall, With You and Kiss Kiss, the lattermost of which featured T-Pain. The album shows the many sides of Chris Brown, from the aforementioned soft, caring With You to the sexy, seductive Take You Down, yet it still sounds cohesive, like one big story. There something for everyone on this release. Many of the songs, such as the-Game-featuring Nice, embrace Chris Brown's desired counterparts (or, outside of nerd-speak, talk about the chicks he wants to hook up with) and are fun to just jam out to and badly sing along with. Other songs, such as You, are smooth, catchy and sweet like hip hop candy sure to give you a sweet tooth after too many replays. There's also a certain charismatic approach Chris Brown took with this album. He's goofy, sweet-talking and just generally likeable here. Overall, plain and simple, this is Chris Brown's best album.

Best Performance - Gimme That
Contrary to popular belief, Chris Brown is one of the most talented performers of our generation. He is both a skillful vocalist and a powerful dancer. What better television program to showcase his abilities on than So You Think You Can Dance? On this episode from 2008, Chris Brown performs "Gimme That", showing that he can truly blend his vocal prowess with his impressive dancing skills. During the last twenty seconds of the performance, he delivers an extraordinary routine that few of today's performers could pull off.
e437: As I said, I think you should've been adding the Rih controversy in the bio. MJ as an inspiration tho . I get it, his song is a classic, but you (like Rih too) should've been giving us something less known . The performance could've been better knowing that he does all those jumps and goes in the sky and stuff like that.

CENTER]This is the biography of....
The Queen of The Rap Genre, and The Most Influential Rap Artist in This Current Day & Time.
Born on December 8, 1982, Nicki Minaj is an Indo-Asian descent originally from Trinidad and Tobago. She grew up in a troubled home with a father who was a drug addict, in Southside Jamaica Queens, New York. Because of the trouble at home, she would create personalities and imaginary worlds to hide away from her reality. She later auditioned for singing and acting at LaGuardia High School but she was denied in the singing portion but let in for acting.
After that she took her entertainment foundation and placed it in music, but in rapping. Her talent was first spotted by Dirty Money CEO Fendi on MySpace and later was recruited for The Carter Edition of Young Money's "The Come Up" DVD series. Her rapping skill caught Lil Wayne's attention who later on tagged her for a number of collaborations in his mixtapes. In April 2007, Nicki released her first mixtape "Playtime Is Over". Weezy lent his vocal on one of the songs. A year later, she dropped another mixtape "Sucka Free" which Weezy himself hosted and contributed greatly to. This mixtape landed her as Female Artist of the Year at the Underground Music Awards.
After the arrival of her third mixtape "Beam Me Up Scotty" which received positive reviews from BET and MTV, she began to mold herself as a mainstream artist by featuring on a huge number of features for artist like Ludacris, Usher, Mariah Carey and, of course, her mentor Weezy. These features garnered her a lot of attention and buzz that gave her fans her mixtapes had not already given her. After the successful release of her debut album "Pink Friday" she had succeeded in her goal in becoming an established artist and performer. After two albums, she can say she's worked with artists from every genre, from the likes of Kanye to Madonna. With her multiplatinum singles & albums, she has become a force to be reckon with.
She later went on to add to her brand with her two perfumes Pink Friday & Minajesty, her position as the first Rapper (Female Rapper) on the American Idol judging panel, she's taken partnership with Myx Moscato for her wine beverages & let''s not forget her newly released clothing line "The Nicki Minaj Collection". Which garnered her the #4 spot on Cash Kings Hip Hop Forbes list. She has not only built an empire musically, but her name now is an empire on it's own. She's becoming a legend in her own right & this is only the beginning.
e437: I think that your bio is a good one, but again, where are the sales, why is she famous now (I know you put those names here, but I meant #1s and stuff like that (even though she does not have one ) and as I said, her two controversies with Mariah and Lil' Kim. I personally think that RR is a better album because of the pop songs, but anyway. The song and the performance are amazing, but again, I think that they should've been explained instead of just being thrown there.
