“The Way” singer took on Justin Bieber’s hit, “As Long As You Love Me,” backstage at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday.

Ariana Grande Raps Mac Miller’s Verses of ‘The Way’

The 19-year-old star grabbed a microphone and rapped Big Sean‘s verse in the hit song. At one point, she stopped and ad-libbed, ”My publicist is like ‘what are you doing,’” which drew laughter from onlookers.

Ariana is preparing for the release of her debut album, Daydreamin’, which is due out in late August.

The song was a product of a few big names in music, including the writer of the track Pharrell—who is a mentor to Cris Cab, and producer of the track Wyclef Jean. The video gives off a summertime feel with palm trees and girls on skateboards hanging out by the local hamburger joint. Sounds like a place we’d like to be.

The pop sensation performed his hit songs “Baby,” ”Boyfriend,” and “All Around The World,” as well as his new song “As Long As You Love Me” with Big Sean. The superstar also had time to give host Matt Lauer some Twitter love. Justin tweeted his 23 million plus followers to follow Matt on the social networking site and got amazing results. Growing by the minute, Bieber helped Lauer to his almost 100,000 thousand followers. What an excellent example of team work!

Justin looked hot as ever and seems like he is ready to rock his upcoming Believe tour, as he showcased his moves and flashed that signature smile. Believe is due out on June 19. Check out the live performance here:

“Boyfriend”:

“As Long As You Love Me” (featuring Big Sean):

“All Around the World”:

“Baby”

Justin Bieber Sprinkles Swag Over Billboard’s Newest Cover

The song, “Right Here” is paying homage to Drake’s unique sound, Justin even sounds like the rapper when he sings the opening lines, “Baby I’m here / I’m here to stay / I ain’t going nowhere / I know you’re scared ’cause you’ve been hurt / Baby it’s alright.” The Canadians now know how to make a tune sound great because we have this song on repeat!

Next up is “Beauty And A Beat” featuring the fellow Young Money member, Nicki Minaj. While Nicki’s part is just a few lines, the song’s dancehall beat makes you want to get to a club ASAP. The playful Nicki knows her boundaries when it comes to Justin’s girlfriend; she mentions “keeping an eye out for Selena” in her verse.

Speaking of Selena, the final track that was leaked may possibly be a dub step infused ballad dedicated to the pop star, and may also be the Bieb’s next hit. “As Long As You Love Me” features Big Sean and the rapper proves he can be a softy by laying down some verses that would make any girl’s heart melt. “We stepping’ out like woah / Cameras point and shoot / Ask me what’s my best side? / I stand back and point at you.” Justin also spits some game while giving props to power couple, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. He sings: “I’ll be your soldier / Fighting every second of the day for your dreams girl / I’ll be your Hova / You can be my Destiny’s Child on the scene girl.” With lyrics like that, Selena won’t be leaving his side anytime soon.

Justin’s album is set to release June 19, so here’s hoping no more tracks are leaked until then; it’s never fun to spoil a surprise!

The jam features Brown in complete flow mode in collaboration with producer and co-writer Nathan “Danja” Hills and fellow rappers Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean. The three rappers make numerous references to smoking and intoxication over this slower beat.

The explicit tune includes Brown: “Sippin’ and I’m faded / Super medicated.” Big Sean: “And this is the life we chose / Working all night swear I’m never going broke / And I’ma do this ’til I die / And I ain’t talking sh*t just cuz I’m high” Wiz Khalifa: “Money flowing, never sober / Smoking ’til I die.”

And…well, you get the idea. What do you think of the jam? Triple threat or not? Lookout for Chris Brown’s album Fortune May 2012.
