Justin Beiber is preparing for a very busy week ahead. The 16-year-old pop star is used to juggling a hectic schedule, but things have been unusually crazy for the “Baby” singer.
After a week of rehearsing in the Bahamas, Justin is preparing for his performance on the Much Music Video Music Awards (MMVAs). But Justin will hopefully be doing more than just working on Sunday night. The talented musician is nominated for three awards.
Justin will have home field advantage this weekend as he competes against a number of talented artists at the Canadian awards show. Justin is nominated twice in the category for International Video of the Year by a Canadian. Justin has a strong chance to win the award as the odds are in his favor. But, don’t rule out his fierce competition. The “Baby” singer will have to defeat Avril Lavigne and Drake to win the award. Drake is also nominated twice in this category.
Justin is also nominated for the UR Fave Video Award and the UR Fave New Artist Award. If he does win tomorrow night, Justin will be on hand to accept his award. The “Somebody To Love” singer is preparing to leave for Canada later today. He expressed his excitement on Twitter this morning. Justin tweeted:
“CANADA here we come!!! MMVA’s this weekend….let’s celebrate!”
Justin won’t be home for long. The teen pop star kicks off his My World tour on June 23.

Why does he always have such a problem performing this song?
Pop star Justin Bieber may be raising eyebrows for receiving a BET award nomination, but Diddy’s got his back.
“The awards are important to hip hop and to show [hip-hop artists] in the right light,” the mogul said at the network press conference on Tuesday.
“But the beauty of BET is, if Justin Bieber’s hot, then he deserves to be on that stage,” said Diddy. “Sometimes, at other award shows, the color of your skin or the type of music you make takes away from getting the accolade you deserve.”

It’s the music and not the color of your skin that counts. A white person should be eligible to be nominated if they make R&B music. Just like a black person should be eligible to be nominated for a country award if they sing country. Simple.
