One of the best and most thrilling parts of ringing in the New Year is the multitude of major bands front-lining and performing at venues all over the world. After all, we all love to party, and the best way to do that is with the hottest voices and musicians all over. So, 2010 was rung in wonderfully, but I’m sure you’re wondering by who. Well, Billboard had their own Fox live show, on top of the normal line-ups by all sorts of networks, so let’s take a look.

Allison Iraheta was one of the best acts of the night with her stunning performance and her kick-ass and take names later attitude. She was part of the Billboard performance on Fox, but she certainly wasn’t the only performances out there making people rock.  During Dick Clark’s New Year’s Bash done every year, the Black Eyed Peas made one of their best performances with “Imma Be” off of their album, The E.N.D., and had people rocking and rolling while they waited for the ball to drop.

Also, not to let her newfound confidence and “General badassery” go by the wayside, Rihanna was a frontliner on NBC’s New Years Eve celebration hosted by Carson Daly. Wearing a white coat and a black stylish top hat, she was rocking along and bringing in the New Year with everyone else, performing “Hard”.

Jennifer Lopez looking fantastically hot in a black outfit that seemed a unique combination of nude bodysuit and sheer black, showing that she was more than prepared to make a celebration happen. Green Day was another front-liner for the night, but one of their best performances was knowing that they made their way to the end of the night, ushering in the New Year with “21 Guns,” the perfect wind-down to a fantastic night.
