I'm breaking down the top music stories of the week, including the deadly stage collapse, Deets on the VMA tributes, and Katy Perry and Beyonce getting comparisons to the King of Pop. Beginning with the tragic story at the Indiana State Fair, five people died after the stage collapsed at the event last weekend before the Sugarland Show. A memorial was held the next day for the lives lost, and an internal investigation has been launched. Speaking of concerts, Beyonce came under fire this week after Perez Hilton claimed she used a teleprompter during her NYC shows this week to remember her lines. No statement has been issued by Bey's camp, but many fans have responded negatively to it/ Bey's hubby Jay Z on the other hand is having a stellar week. He was added to the iheartradio fest in september, and his watch the throne album broke itunes records for the most downloads in one week, as well as a number 1 spot on the Billboard 200. He did give the wifey quite the compliment however, calling Beyonce the second coming of Michael Jackson, and calling her work ethic unprecedented. In other MJ comparisons, Katy Perry tied the King of Pop with the most singles off of one album in Billboard history. Hers for Teenage Dream, His for Bad. And finally, the VMAs are shaping up to be pretty rad! Gaga announced she's opening the show with a performance. And we also hear she's gonna be a part of a Britney Spears tribute, along with Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Janet Jackson, Nicki Minaj, Kesha and Katy Perry. There have also been whispers about an Amy winehouse tribute during the show, but nothing official has been released from MTV. So those are your weekly top stories!
