One Direction took Z100's Jingle Ball by storm, opening the show. Just a few days earlier, the band performed to a sold out crowd headlining Madison Square Garden themselves. It begged the question: "Does this feel like deja vu?"
Backstage at the Z100 Jingle Ball on Friday (Dec. 7), the dissed-by-the-Grammys Justin Bieber chatted with JJ from the radio station, wearing more gold chains than Mr. T. or Ricky Rozay. Again, there will be no Grammy gold for the Biebs in 2013, but he is making up for it with the bling.
Watching fun. perform is always, well, fun because they always seem so in awe of their own success. Frontman Nate Ruess delivered a killer show on Dec. 7 at Jingle Ball, including a stellar performance of 'We Are Young,' and appeared amazed to just be on the Madison Square Garden stage.
Jason Mraz, like Ed Sheeran, seemed a somewhat unlikely fit for the hyper poppy 2012 Z100 Jingle Ball lineup, but he fit in seamlessly at last night's (Dec. 7) Madison Square Garden super show.
Ed Sheeran, whose song 'The A-Team' was pretty much inescapable on radio for most of 2012, graced the Z100 Jingle Ball stage last night (Dec. 7) and may have stolen the show.
Taylor Swift hit the Z100 Jingle Ball stage at Madison Square Garden last night (Dec. 7) and gave her usual: awkward dancing and a whole lot of enthusiasm. However, this time, she also had a few special guests to join her on some duets: B.o.B and future tourmate Ed Sheeran!
2012 has been a rollercoaster year for Justin Bieber. He has gone through ups and downs in his relationship with Selena Gomez, he has a sold out Believe tour but was snubbed for a Grammy, he faced baby mama drama -- that's a lot! As a result, he had a slew of emotion to draw from for his 2012 Z100 Jingle Ball performance, which likely earned him even more Beliebers than before.
