2010 American Music Awards


Another annual music event that the world always looks forward to is the American Music Awards. This year's ceremony boasted of some of the best performances in AMA history. Rihanna did an amazing job performing a medley of Love The Way You Lie, What's My Name and Only Girl, Pink got the crowd jumping with her new smash hit single Raise Your Glass, Usher as usual always puts on an amazing show with his singing and dance sequences whenever he performs DJ Got Us Falling In Love. Bon Jovi, Enrique Iglesiais, Shakira and Justin Bieber were other performers that hit the AMA stage.

Justin Bieber was the big winner of the night, even winning the biggest award of the night (Artist of the year). I respect the fact that he is able to hold his own in the industry just being 16, but giving him 4 awards was by far a big stretch, then again he is one of the most followed people on twitter and he has one of the most watched videos in the world, so I am sure his fans vote multiple times for him. Usher, Rihanna, Shakira, Eminem were also winners. See the full list of winners below;
