Did Nicki Minaj Shade Jennifer Lopez at the American Music Awards?
Thank you so much.
They will ring in the new year with a performance on ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and then go their separate ways for at least 2016. She also won the “Best Female Pop/Rock Artist” award and dedicated to her grandmother “Nonna” who was cheering her on in the audience.
Taylor Swift won three of her six nominations at the close of this year’s American Music Awards. It’s as simple as this: “we won’t be able to do this without our fans”, Niall Horan said.
A talented Kiwi dance group got up-close and personal as Jennifer Lopez opened the American Music Awards dancing to a mash-up of this year’s chart-topping hits.
Some of the upbeat hits that Lopez performed over the course of the medley are: “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, “Anaconda” by Nicki Minaj, “7/11” by Beyonce and “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd, “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift, “Hotline Bling” by Drake.
In the most criminal of snubs last night, The Weeknd’s admittedly massive Beauty Behind The Madness beat out D’angelo’s soulful masterpiece Black Messiah for “Favorite Album – Soul/R&B”.
“Make some noise for Prince, ladies and gentlemen”, the singer said. After the performance, the group stated on twitter that performing on the AMA stage was “a dream”. “This is awesome coming out here being in the room with so many wonderful people”, he said before thanking his wife for letting him do what he loves.
According to Hollywood Life, Minaj was so allegedly annoyed by the whole thing, she was seen flipping her hair and rolling her eyes after giving her acceptance speech for winning the AMA’s Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album. She later took the stage to accept Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop artist. Tonight’s not about me.
British sensation Ed Sheeran was honored as Favorite Pop/Rock Male artist. “Now back to the b*tch who had a lot to say about me earlier in the week”.
Her gold Julien MacDonald piece with daring split up the middle was another look that made her the stand out star on the night. The favorite Electronic Dance Music (EDM) went to Calvin Harris while the Favorite Alternative Artist was given to Fall Out Boy. Some of the other performers during the show included Coldplay, as well as Gwen Stefani, and Alanis Morrissett, along with 5 Seconds of Summer and Carrie Underwood.
Dion earned a rousing applause after her performance, which started with the Eiffel Tower projected behind her.
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”. Luke Bryan and Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town teamed up for “Home Alone Tonight“.
The 1D boys, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato also took the stage, while Ellie Goulding, reality TV star Kylie Jenner and model Gigi Hadid were among the presenters joining host J-Lo.
But Bieber’s position at No. 1 won’t last long – Adele just released her new album.
