Billboard Declare Jazmine Sullivan A Rising Star

Sullivan will be honored alongside Black Eyed Peas vocalist and six-time Grammy-winning artist Fergie, who is receiving Billboard's Woman of the Year Award. She is also the next female artist to receive the Rising Star Award after Lady Gaga, who received the award in 2009 in the wake of the success of her debut album, "The Fame."

"I admire Lady Gaga, so to be honored in a category that she was once in is such a rewarding feeling," Sullivan tells Billboard.com. "When I heard the news, I was so happy. I feel honored to be chosen as this year's Rising Star." - Check out her new video here
