You can always count on A Great Big World to bust out a feel-it-deep-in-your-heart ballad. And when they performed on “Trailblazers,” airing tonight (June 26) at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT on LOGO, it was the same heart-wrenching way.

The duo slow-jammed to “Already Home” with a small orchestra, singing “When you’re scared and alone, just know that I’m already home.” When we caught up with the guys on the “Trailblazers” red carpet, Chad Vaccarino revealed the LGBT event was especially meaningful for him because he had come out just hours before.

“I feel like everyone accepts you, if you accept yourself,” he told MTV News.

Watch the performance below to get pumped for tonight’s show, a first of its kind event to honor the pioneers who have made historic strides for LGBT equality.

Who dat? Who dat?

It’s Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX slaying it onstage. The Australian rapper paid a sweet tribute to her fanciful partner in crime on Thursday (June 26) when she posted a snap of the pair performing together in celebration of their successful collaboration “Fancy.”

Sorry, Fergie, but big girls DO cry.

That is, according to Sia’s new song “Big Girls Cry,” off her upcoming album 1000 Forms of Fear. The track, posted Wednesday (June 25), proves that even the most put-together ladies can break down once in a while.

“I don’t care if I don’t look beauty/ Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking,” she belts, singing about a tough girl who lives alone. After bottling up her emotions, she lets go.

The singer/songwriter is set to perform her song “Chandelier” backed by the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus at Logo’s Trailblazers on Thursday at 9 p.m. on LOGO.

Sia’s “Big Girls Cry” follows “Chandelier” and “Eye of the Needle” from her new LP, out July 8.

In 2009, Michael Jackson was in the middle of rehearsing for a string of shows at London’s O2 Arena. But on June 25, the King of Pop died of cardiac arrest due to a doctor-assisted drug overdose The concerts were intended to be his last live performances — 50 in total — a big bang before retirement.

But five years later, we didn’t need that big bang. We have the entirety of MJ’s career, which was an impressive spectacle in itself. Here are a few reasons why Michael Jackson will always be the King of Pop to us:

He Was A Star From The Beginning
At 6 years old, Michael made it big with his brothers in the Jackson 5. And then he gave us 44 more years of music.

His Music Videos? Legendary.
Find someone who doesn’t know “Thriller.” I dare you. The 13-minute video set precedents for music filmmaking and was MTV’s first world premiere.

His Over-The-Top Fashion
MJ was an icon when it came to style. The one-handed glove, the hat, the socks — he had a look that was all his own. He was also known for flaunting some special jackets.

Not only was he a master at pop music, he was a master at pop dance! Seeing him groove in concert was even more mindblowing than seeing him on TV. And he knew all the secrets of putting on a show, even putting white tape ...

Will Beyoncé star in “Hancock 2″ with Will Smith? According to Vibe, the singer will be taking the role of Carly Kicker in the follow-up to the 2008 film.

The magazine cites IMDb as the source of the info, but when MTV News checked back, it had since been deleted.

Bey, who kicks off a tour with husband Jay Z on Wednesday (June 25) night, most recently showed off her acting skills in the trailer for the On The Run Tour. The trailer featured big names like Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Guillermo Díaz, Emmy Rossum, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Rashida and Kidada Jones.

Beyonc#&233′s latest acting credit was for 2013′s “Epic,” when she voiced Queen Tara. But don’t forget her surprise album, made up entirely of cinematic music videos.

Back in 2011, Bey was linked to Clint Eastwood’s “A Star is Born” remake, but had to back out. That film has yet to start production.

If you thought that Iggy Pop ad from Amnesty International last week was a little off, you were correct. The singer is claiming that he never agreed to his photo in the PSA, which was featured with the ironic tagline: “Justin Bieber is the future of rock n’ roll.”

The Belgium ads were meant to imply that torture (using photos of bloodied and bruised public figures) pushed people into making confessions and false claims. As Iggy Pop stated on his Twitter on Tuesday (June 24), Amnesty is now apologizing for the doctored images.

To generate awareness about our campaign against torture, Amnesty International Belgium French speaking section used an image of Iggy Pop without his authorization.

Even though we acted in good faith, we would like to apologise to Iggy Pop for having done so.

The overall goal of this campaign is to try to influence people’s ideas on the use of torture. According to surveys, a shocking number of people believe that “torture may sometimes be useful” ; more than 36% of people even think that torture is justified in some cases. This is unacceptable, and we illustrate this reality with the message that a man who is tortured will say anything in order to escape this awfulness, using provocative images and statements to attract public attention. We would therefore also like to make it clear that the statement attributed to Iggy Pop that he believes Justin Bieber is the future of rock and roll does not ...
