When it comes to S&M the bondage is usually black, but Rihanna switched things to white for her opening performance at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. Up for a whopping 18 awards this year, including the evening's coveted Top Artist award, the 'Loud' singer started things off with her racy 'S&M' single clad in a barely there, white patent leather dominatrix ensemble, slithering across the stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday night (May 22).

But if you're someone that prefers the black bondage, you're still in luck: Britney Spears rose up from the stage in a matching black patent leather leotard half-way through the performance, wearing a mask that made her look like a naughty Playboy Bunny searching for trouble.

While 'S&M' isn't nominated for any awards this evening -- RiRi's 'What's My Name? is up for Best R&B Song, though -- the single peaked at No. 1 and is currently No. 11 after 18 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Spears jumped on the remix to the 'S&M' only last month, marking the first collaboration from the two pop stars. So how do you end a performance where two of the hottest pop stars are dancing around suggestively on stage to the sound of whips and chains? With a pillow fight, of course.

Watch video of their performance after the jump.

I don't what it is, but Britney is just plain awkward nowadays. It all seems so stiff and planned out to get publicity!

lmfao at the title. Sexy pillow fight? It looked boring, messy (in the bad way), and uncomfortable. It was a shitty performance, between Rihanna's failed vocals and Britney's infamous lip syncing, which was not even needed as she did no impressive dancing... or no dancing at all. Boring.

Revolting, sexy, shamful, hot, degenerate, amazing, should not be seen a primtime TV but very entertaining, if you like skimpy outfits and strange moves around the stage. Should I press replay?

Ew. S&M is nothing new. All these mainstream 'artists' always think they discover something new and original. Both of those 'women' are gross. Repulsive, actually.

Who EVER said that S&M is anything new and what mainstream artist has said they are discovering anything new??? Both of these women are beautiful and awesome entertainers. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Maybe that's something you mainstream haters didn't know you could do... turn the channel. And if you're watching it here and they are so "gross" and "repulsive", why are you watching it at all?

Why must anyone human be subject to this-EVER? These are two tortured women who have lost souls and use themselves (how sad that not even they give themselves worth) for what they consider gain- irony is that all is actually lost in the midst of allow themselves to be dispicably used

You don't have to be "subjected" to it, you can turn the channel. You must not have been too offended by it... you're here.
