Rap-Up.com || Mary J. Blige, Swizz Beatz, & Bruno Mars Added as VMA Performers

The performance lineup for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards just got a whole lot fancier. Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz are set to join Drake onstage at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre—most likely to perform their collabo “Fancy,” a track originally intended for MJB—while Bruno Mars will make his VMA performance debut during the show, airing live on Sunday, Sept. 12, at 9 p.m.

Additionally, Katy Perry and Rick Ross have been added as presenters during the telecast, as have Cher, Ellen DeGeneres, the cast of “Glee,” Kim Kardashian, Rosario Dawson, the cast of “Jackass,” and more.

The award show, hosted by comedienne Chelsea Handler, will feature previously announced performances from Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Usher, B.o.B, Jason Derulo, and others, while Nicki Minaj will help kick off the event by performing a remix of “Your Love” during the pre-show at 8 p.m.

Likely Performances:

Drake, Swizz Beatz, MJB, & T.I. – Fancy (T.I. should be there if his arrest doesn’t affect it)

Justin Bieber – U Smile, Somebody To Love w/ Usher, or hell, maybe Runaway Love w/ Ye & Rae

Eminem – Love The Way You Lie w/ Rihanna

B.o.B. – Magic w/ Rivers Cuomo

Jason DeRulo – Riding Solo

Travie Mccoy – Billionaire w/ Bruno Mars

Also if Ciara is performing, it will be at the pre-show without a doubt, she’s not high-profile enough to be in the main show

Usher – DJ Got Us Falling In Love w/ Pitbull or Hot Tottie w/ Jay-Z

Kanye West – ????? Maybe he’ll debut All Of The Lights w/ Drake or Lost In The World w/ Justin Vernon.

Yea I believe MJB and Swizz will perform Fancy with Drake.

Bruno Mars will probably either perform more than once one set will probably be attached with BoB’s for Nothing on You then he will probably do his own song after then later on sing Billionare with Travie Mccoy who is performing with the house band.

Drake will perform Fancy/Miss Me

Justin Beiber will probably do Somebody to Love with Usher

Usher will probably do There Goes My Baby(w/ a guest star) and One of his latest singles.

If Ciara performs I think it will be main stage considering this will be the first time she has ever accepted their invite to perform. She will no doubt in my mind perform Gimme Dat and her other song will either be Ride or Speechless.

Em- will perform not afraid and that song he has with Rihanna.(probably with a special guest)
