Did you watch FN MTV Premieres... last week? We did, and we loved it! How cute is Pete Wentz as a host?! Anyway, Lil Mama is gonna be on tonight's show to premiere her video with T-Pain for "What It Is (Strike a Pose)," and we're sure what it's gonna be is amazing.

Get a sneak peek at our upcoming interview with Lil Mama here, and be sure to tune in to FN MTV Premieres… tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

What can fans expect from you on FN MTV Premieres… tonight?
Just me! Everybody gets a chance to see the dance side, everybody gets a chance to see the funny side. Outgoing. Sometimes, you just need to bring fans into who you are and help them to understand that as an artist, we are real people. And even when it comes to entertaining, that's just a zone we go into, but it's still a personal vibe, and I know that my fans need to get into that.

What do you think of FN MTV so far?
I think that it's a great opportunity for people to come and introduce something new: to introduce their videos and pretty much get that personal vibe. Most shows, when you go on,its like "Hey, hey! Here's Lil Mama! OK, bye! All right, now we gonna …" And on FN MTV, you get to really get into what's new, what's new about it. What should we love about it? What should we watch out for? It's personal. You get to speak to your audience, and it's new, its fresh. It's something that's going to grab the audience as, "This is something new for us to get into." Nobody likes the same old thing too long.

Do you think the show will bring the music back to MTV?
Yeah, it will. As MTV has already done, you have to take steps into bringing roots back. Because once you loose roots, your plant will die. So you need to bring the roots back to music. Like, bring the love back, bring that vibe back that people can feel our artists, be able to feel the show, be able to feel the hosts. That's what FN MTV is doing. Now you also need artists to bring the real music and labels to bring a real artist on the scene that you can really feel. So it pretty much takes teamwork because music at a whole will die down and run away if you don't grab it and get a hold of it.

You Say!
