Linkin Park goes head-to-head with Evanescence in another huge contest … voting in all Sweet 16 matchups ends Tuesday! By James Montgomery Paramore’s Hayley Williams Photo: Getty Images After two rounds of upsets and upheaval, MTV’s Musical March Madness has finally reached the Sweet 16, where things really start to get interesting. Because at this point in the tournament, only the strong remain: Our last two champions are both still alive, as are the last two runners-up. There are the perennial powerhouses still looking for that elusive MMM title, and a few hard-to-kill underdogs, too, each hoping to shock the world. And with matchups that include Evanescence vs. Linkin Park, Paramore vs. 30 Seconds to Mars and Green Day vs. James Durbin, this year’s Sweet 16 is shaping up to be one for the ages. And if your favorite band is still alive, you can help them move one step closer to the MMM title by voting now. Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Musical March Madness interactive bracket! But you’ve got to hurry; voting in all Sweet 16 matchups closes Tuesday, March 27, at midnight ET, and on Wednesday, the tournament moves to the Elite 8. And since time is short, we’re gonna cut right to the chase … here’s a look at all the Sweet 16 matchups in MMM 2012. Midwest It’s #5 My Chemical Romance versus #16 AWOLNATION in the top half of the bracket, and we’d say this one should be a cakewalk for the mighty MCR … except, just to reach the Sweet 16, AWOL has already fought their way past #1 the Black Keys and the tournament-tested Rise Against!, which means they’ll probably be a tougher test than most imagine. Still, though they might face a struggle, it’s difficult to not see MCR moving on here. The same can’t be said about the matchup in the bottom half of the region, however, as #7 Metallica squares off against #14 Five Finger Death Punch, in a hard-hitting, heavy-riffing battle that truly is impossible to predict. Metallica disposed of Guns N’ Roses in the opening round, then rallied to overtake Sum 41 in round two. (thanks, John Cena! ) Meanwhile, Five Finger blew out #3 Pearl Jam in the first round, and then withstood a late charge from #11 Chevelle to secure their spot in the Sweet 16. Who comes out on top here? In a pinch, we’ll take Metallica, though this one seems destined to come right down to the wire. West Defending MMM champs Green Day draw #16 James Durbin in the top half of the bracket, and, much like the MCR/AWOL matchup, on the surface, this one looks like it’ll be Green Day in a rout. But at this point, Durbin has dumped #1 Foo Fighters and #8 Best Coast, both by huge margins. Can he dethrone the champions and advance to the Elite 8? You know what? We’re going to say yes. Consider yourselves on upset alert, Green Day. In the bottom of the West bracket, it’s #11 Adam Lambert versus #15 Panic! at the Disco, in a matchup that pits two of MMM’s most fervent fanbases against each other. Both acts have been through the March Madness wringer before, but neither has been able to make it over that final hump. Could this be the year one of them raises the big gold trophy? Perhaps. This is another contest that’s going to be too close to call. East The march toward the inevitable Tokio Hotel/Coheed and Cambria showdown continues, as both draw lower-seeded opponents in the Sweet 16. In Tokio’s case, they get Toronto wailers F—ed Up, who have shocked everybody by taking down Mumford & Sons and Radiohead during their dream run to the Sweet 16. Sadly, we’re pretty sure that run ends here, as Tokio have been flexing their MMM muscles throughout the tourney, and may very well be the team to beat in 2012. Then again, they’ll have to get through 2010 champs Coheed and Cambria, who draw #11 Semi-Precious Weapons in their Sweet 16 matchup. And though SPW have battled past Fun. And Florence and the Machine just to make it this far, they’ve yet to go up against a fanbase like Coheed and Cambria’s Children of the Fence … and, well, let’s just say we’re already looking forward to Wednesday’s Tokio/Coheed Elite 8 battle. It’s sure to be epic. Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Musical March Madness interactive bracket! South We’ve saved the best for last. Because things are about to get hot down in the South, with a pair of heavyweight Sweet 16 matchups that are sure to barn-burners. In the top half of the bracket, it’s lone-remaining #1, Evanescence, taking on tournament-tested #5 Linkin Park. Amy Lee and company have yet to really be challenged in MMM 2012, pasting #16 Alabama Shakes and #9 Dave Matthews Band. Meanwhile, Shinoda, Bennington and the guys have had to fight every step of the way, holding off a late-charge from #12 At the Drive In and another huge rally from #4 Jack White just to advance. Something’s gotta give here … and, in a pinch, we’re taking Evanescence. Though, again, it’s gonna be close. Down in the bottom half of the bracket, it’s #2 Paramore against #6 30 Seconds to Mars, and to anyone who’s followed the tournament over the years, well, you know that this is basically the Duke/North Carolina of MMM. Both bands have come close to winning it all (Paramore were edged out in last year’s championship game), and both are supported by huge fan armies, so, yeah, this one is serious. We’ve honestly got no idea how it plays out, so instead, we’re just gonna sit back and enjoy this one. Is your favorite band still alive in the Sweet 16? Do you want to avenge an early exit? Well, get voting … polls in the Sweet 16 close Tuesday at midnight ET, and then we’ll head on to the Elite 8! The MMM title is within reach, and you can determine who’ll grab it. MTV’s 2012 Musical March Madness tournament has reached the Sweet 16! Voting runs until midnight ET on Tuesday, March 27, and winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite act is still alive, it’ll be up to you to guide them to glory. You can rally the troops on Twitter using the hashtag #MMM or by downloading one of our custom badges — but get ready, it only gets more difficult from here on out.

‘He’s an incredible, incredible writer and amazing vocalist,’ producer Mike Posner tells MTV News about Bieber’s new single. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: Getty Images Justin Bieber dropped his bumping new single “Boyfriend” on Monday (March 26), teasing his next album, Believe. It’s a grinding, midtempo song that hears Bieber proclaiming all the ways he can make a girl happy (swag and fondue included!). Co-produced and co-written by “Cooler Than Me” singer Mike Posner, the song shows growth from Bieber’s “Baby” days. When MTV News caught up with Posner last week, he told us what it was like to hit the studio with Bieber (and co-producer and co-writer Mason Levy) for the track. “I’ve known [Bieber’s manager] Scooter [Braun] for a few years, so I actually ran into Scooter at a Clippers game and told him I would love to work with Justin,” Posner said. “I got the opportunity to write with Justin. I didn’t really know what to expect at first, but he’s an incredible, incredible writer and amazing vocalist. “Because I’m an artist myself, I can be pretty selective on who I produce for and who I make beats for … and really what I’m looking for is an amazing vocalist, somebody that can sing better than I can,” he continued. “And the other thing is somebody that’s willing to not try to make something that succeeds within the matrix of what pop music is now, but makes something that moves that matrix to where it is, and Justin was willing to take that leap with me.” Bieber spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show hours after the song’s world premiere Monday, explaining why this was the perfect track to kick off the Believe era. “It was a really hard choice. I mean, we had so many songs, so many uptempos we could release, [that] I thought, ‘Let’s slow it down,’ ” he said, adding that there are already plenty of fast songs all over the radio. “It’s just something a little bit more mature, but it’s also something I think I’m ready for.” While fans and industry insiders had been wondering what a more grown-up Bieber would sound like, he said he tried to block out all the noise when making the track. “There’s so many people that are going to give me opinions, but I’m the only one who can ultimately make those decisions, because I’m going to have to live with my career for the rest of my life. So I thought this was the perfect single,” he said, adding that this song “was me all the way; it is a representation of me.” And Bieber said “Boyfriend” perfectly sets up what’s coming next. “It’s kind of classic,” he said of the album. “The songs, I feel, won’t get old. The music is very fresh, but it’s also — I’m taking a lot from old-school music, a lot of Michael Jackson, a lot of old R&B, a lot of old pop. It’s pretty special.” What do you think of “Boyfriend”?

‘I got love and acceptance in that community, and that’s something that I really take seriously,’ Mike Posner tells Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Mike Posner Photo: MTV News Don’t Sleep: Necessary Notables Mixtape : The Layover Key Cameo : “Rocket Man” (featuring Bun B) Essential Info : Mike Posner is in touch with his rap side. On his new mixtape The Layover, he enlists the help of noted spitters like Bun B, Big K.R.I.T., Twista, Slim Thug, Cyhi the Prynce and Machine Gun Kelly — not that the “Cooler Than Me” singer lacks hip-hop swag, though. “I’m kind of like a rapper trapped in a singer’s body,” Posner told Mixtape Daily. “That was the whole idea of me starting to sing in the first place. It took me a long time to stumble upon a sound, and I figured out I wanted to kinda sing rapper’s lyrics.” Maybe it’s his smoky voice or the way he intertwines slang into his lyrics, but the seemingly poppy Posner is a definite product of the hip-hop generation. Doubters need look no further than the recently released Layover. For much of the tape, Posner takes classic records like Oasis’ “Wonderwall” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man” and adds his own swag. On “Henny & Purple” the Detroit crooner dedicates an entire song to getting high and drinking drank; for “On Fire,” he and Machine Gun Kelly revisit Posner’s 2009 track “Drug Dealer Girl” and deliver a well-equipped sequel. Things get even dustier when Mike enlists former Slum Village lyricist Elzhi to jump on “Mittens Up.” On the bouncy track, Mike borrows from 50 Cent’s “Wanksta” when he sings, “Damn, homey, in high school you was the man, homey,” but it is Elzhi who has the tape’s most densely packed lyrics. “That’s why I make mixtapes, that’s why I work with Don Cannon, that’s why i work with Big Sean,” Posner said. “Even though I don’t rap, I got love and acceptance in that community, and that’s something that I really take seriously and hold close to my heart.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .
‘Looking back, it was nothing like I thought it would be,’ she says on upcoming episode, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Sara Waber Estelle on “When I Was 17” Photo: MTV English R&B singer Estelle shares a very personal milestone in her life on this week’s episode of MTV’s “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11a.m. ET/PT: She recalls losing her virginity, and it wasn’t exactly what she hoped for. “I didn’t have a boyfriend, per se,” she says in the episode, which also features Mike Posner and AnnaLynne McCord. “I definitely fancied a few guys. There was one particular guy that I fancied. He was cute, he was short, he had a gold tooth.” Like all good friends, Estelle’s mates blabbed to him. “My friends told him I fancied him, and then he knew where I lived, and he would just start hanging out outside my house,” the “American Boy” singer recalls. “So this guy was, like, my first full-out crush, all that good stuff.” Maybe she didn’t like his baggy jeans, but she was about to find out what’s underneath them. “Eventually, I lost my V-card. Looking back, it was nothing like I thought it would be. It was horrible.” Needless to say, Estelle and her mystery man didn’t have a fairy-tale ending. “We actually got along as friends, and then we did it and it was … ehh. And then we split up. “In hindsight I should have waited,” she added. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Estelle, Mike Posner and AnnaLynne McCord — airs on Saturday at 11a.m ET/PT on MTV.
