You know how every time you go to karaoke with your friends and someone ALWAYS has to do Nicki Minaj's "Monster" verse? Well, Vanessa Hudgens was that friend when she opened the 2017 Billboard Music Awards with cohost Ludacris.
It happened right after Nicki herself performed a 9-minute medley of her greatest hits in honor of her surpassing Aretha Franklin earlier this year to have the most hits by a female artist on the Hot 100 chart.
But Vanessa's rapping skills weren't the only thing that was pure gold. Drake's face was an absolute picture:

And because one impersonation is for amateurs, Vanessa also killed it doing a classic Celine Dion song, "The Power of Love." Take a bow, Vanessa.
