And the American Music Award Winners Are

For the second year in a row, One Direction are the artist of the year at the American Music Awards.

Resuming hosting duties, the singer showed off her hourglass figure in another outfit, donning a fitted sheer and silver gown with scalloped pattern on the bodice. One Direction downsized from five to four members when Zayn Malik left the group earlier this year. It’s as simple as this: “we won’t be able to do this without our fans”, Horan said.

Show host Jennifer Lopez danced through a high-octane medley of this year’s top pop songs, saying: “Tonight is about the music, and this year’s music makes me want to dance”.

Prince, who earned a rousing applause, presented the first award of the night to the Weeknd for favorite album – soul/R&B for “Beauty Behind the Madness”.

The “Voice” coach, who performed on the show, usually nails it, but this sheer dress missed the mark. “This is unbelievable coming out here being in the room with so many fantastic people”, he said before thanking his wife for letting him do what he loves.

Minaj also went home with two gongs for favourite rap or hip-hop artist and favourite rap or hip-hop album for The Pinkprint.

Last night was a good night for Bieber, as he took home the award for Collaboration of The Year.

During the performance, the camera showed a rather unhappy looking Nicki in the audience. He won favourite male artist – pop/rock.

“Tonight we honor the victims of the unimaginable violence that has taken place in Paris and around the world”, Leto said.

Crying on the inside as we give Demi a worst dressed nod, because we love her. Although there’s no denying her make-up and hair slayed, this sequin dress was overwhelming on her petite frame and aged her. During her speech Grande thanked her grandmother Marjorie who accompanied her to the ceremony. Yes, the performance was pretty cute, but the smooching after was way more exciting.

Meghan Trainor and Charlie Puth’s performance got additional attention after the singers made out onstage after singing their song,”‘Marvin Gaye, ” which features the lyrics: “Let’s Marvin Gaye and get it on”.

That wasn’t the only duet of the night. Jonas did the same with Luke Bryan. Plus, Alanis Morissette and Lovato sang “You Oughta Know”, marking the 20th anniversary of the song. Another one that made everyone’s heart swoon was Carrie Underwood’s performance of her song “Heartbeat”, which is definitely a testament as to why she won the Favorite Female Artist in the Country category. And Coldplay appeared to be having a good time in “Adventure of a Lifetime”, which for a few reason featured the band’s grinning frontman, Chris Martin, dancing alongside several people in gorilla suits.
