Watch Celine Dion’s emotional tribute to Paris at the AMAs

“And peace is possible”, he said.

Originally written for Edith Piaf’s lover, who died in a plane crash, the lyrics of the song have connotations to life and death that applied to Dion’s selection of the song for paying tribute to those affected by the Paris attacks. What do you think of her tribute?

As the world still mourns and feels the shock of the attacks on Paris, we enter the awards season where every genre of entertainer acknowledges the tragedy.

Swift has had the most successful year of the bunch, thanks to her top-selling album “1989” and hits like “Bad Blood” and “Black Space”.

The band won artist of the year at last year’s show – as a quintet with Zayn Malik.

One Direction may have debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts behind Justin Bieber, but they won the top award – artist of the year – at Sunday’s American Music Awards.

Nine days after a series of coordinated terror attacks left 130 people dead across Paris, including 89 at Le Bataclan music venue, Jared Leto and Celine Dion honored the victims with a stirring tribute during Sunday’s American Music Awards. Dion sang at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles while a picture of the Eiffel Tour was projected behind her.

Leto began his introduction by talking about the experience his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, had in its performance at Le Bataclan concert hall in Paris, which was the scene of one of the bloodiest attacks on November 13, seven months after Leto’s visit.

Tears continued to flow during Gwen Stefani’s performance of “Used to Love You”, an emotional ballad about her breakup with her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale. It was lovely, peaceful and unforgettable.

Key winners on the night included Taylor Swift, who went into the night with a leading six nominations and won three awards but did not attend the event. Earlier, she encouraged her feverish fans to “find their voice” when accepting favorite album – rap/hip-hop for “The Pinkprint”, beating out Drake and J. Cole.

In one of the moments that drew the most attention on social media, singer Charlie Puth passionately kissed Meghan Trainor after they sang together. “God reunites those who love each other”.
