Good Works: Artists Share The Pleasure Of Giving Back

Justin Bieber, Usher, Jordin Sparks, Nelly Furtado on Giving Back
Watch Justin Bieber, Usher, Jordin Sparks & Nelly Furtado Discuss Finding the Pleasure in Philanthropy and Life. Vote On Which Artist's Favorite Charity Should Get A $20,000 Donation - and Enter to Win A Trip to the Billboard Music Awards!

Two of the world's most fundamental pleasures are the act of giving and the enjoyment of music. So, as the Billboard Music Awards celebrate the year's most successful songs, artists, and albums, we're also looking to generous hitmakers -- none other than Justin Bieber, Usher, Jordin Sparks, and Nelly Furtado -- to share their thoughts on what charities are closest to their hearts and what makes them feel good. But talking and action are two different things. So we want the fans to help one of these artists earn $20,000 for their favorite charity -- and enter for their own chance at a big prize: a trip to the Billboard Music Awards on May 20 in Las Vegas -- all courtesy of Billboard.com and Magnum Ice Cream.

Watch Justin, Usher, Jordin and Nelly's videos, then scroll down to vote on which star's charity should get the $20,000. After you vote, you'll be able to enter for a chance to win a trip to the 2012 Billboard Music Awards!

Justin Bieber's charities of choice are Pencils of Promise and the Make A Wish Foundation, both of which support kids.

Usher's charity of choice is his New Look Foundation, which looks to foster youth leadership.

Jordin Sparks's charity of choice is I'm M.A.D. Are You?, which she cofounded to empower others to "Make A Difference."

Nelly Furtado's charity of choice, Free The Children, looks to eliminate the exploitation of kids by encouraging youth to volunteer.

Another artist with a strong affinity toward giving back also recently sat down with Billboard.com to talk about giving, life, and more.
