Justin Bieber did well at last night’s Billboard 2013 Awards and like One Direction, picked up an impressive three gongs at the star studded ceremony in Las Vegas.

He was even there in person to pick them up, which his 1D pals weren’t, as they were busy touring Europe at the time.

Will.i.am is a sneaky man with a tactical brain but even he admitted that he gave himself an impossible decision, when he paired Leah McFall with CJ Edwards for The Voice Battle Rounds this year.

The US star has shot to fame with his band and later because of collaborations with stars such as Cheryl Cole, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Nicole Scherzinger, David Bowie, Jennifer Lopez and Miley Cyrus. It seems that everyone wants to work with him.

Moni Tivony the voice 2

Self-proclaimed “white ginger guy” Moni Tivony chose to audition for The Voice tonight, counting on the fact that he looks nothing like his singing voice suggests. We’re only disappointed that he didn’t sing a Simply Red song. Instead, he mildly shocked us with a version of Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry.
