Justin Bieber's AMA Awards 2010 performance: Love it or hate it?
Look, we get that it's the in thing to hate on Justin Bieber. After his American Music Awards show, the obsessive "marry-me-Justin" tweets were outnumbered only by the "Justin-is-a-girl" tweets and the more aggressive "F***-you-Justin" tweets.(P.S., if you're cursing out a teen pop star on Twitter... take a look in the mirror. Re-evaluate your situation. Maybe get a job. We hear online dating services work for the unlikeliest of candidates.)
Here's the thing, though: we just can't dislike him. Sure, he may be a little overrated, but nobody who makes that kind of money isn't underrated. He's talented, he keeps his nose clean, and he wears extremely shiny sneakers. What's not to love?
Though Bieber usually does Timberlake/Usher inspired dance performances, tonight he busted out his ballad, "Pray," complete with a Gospel chorus and earnest, near-tears emo facial expressions... and we thought it was phenomenal.
Of course, what we think isn't what matters. What did you think, Zappers? Tell us in the comments below what you thought of his performance.

I think Justin Bieber was AMAZING, he looked like he put all his emotions/feelings into that song and sang it with all his heart. My personal opinion was the way he sang it, fantastic, phenomenal, spectacular, unforgettable, etc. ;D I love you Justin(:
he sucks!
I LOVE IT(: Its amazing. Like him. he just look sexyy!
it was perfect. he is perfect. the end :)
Good grief... What a dreadful, over done, tone deaf performance. Sorry little girls around the globe, it was honestly awful. I usually find something to like in his performances but this was a train wreck. Period. Stick to pop Justin, you don't have the chops to tackle gospel.
Justin was amazing I love it the first time I heard this song I cried it touched my heart and all u hatred out there need to stop ur just jealous cuz he is famous n ur sorry *** ain't if u hate him like u say u do then y the hell do u take time to listen to his music he is an amazing person with a big heart and ur not LEAVE HIM ALONE AND STOP HATEING HIM THERE'S PPL LYK HIM THAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND JUSTIN WAS INCREDIBLE OUT THERE TONIGHT HE DESERVED ALL THE AWARDS HE GOT KEEP IT UP JUSTIN I LOVE U
Stick to the bubblegum songs that make the young girls scream.
It was like a wanna be Michael Jackson moment. White open shirt, choir, and personal quest song for the betterment of mankind. He should stay within his age level for song choices. Hard to believe a 16 year old pop star is all choked up about the world. Unbeiberable!
As a performance it was awesome. He really did put a lot of emotion into the song. He seems like a good kid with has a big heart and the song has a great message, however, his vocals are not that impressive. He sounds kind of nasally and whiny. I mean he's not the worst singer out there but he really is not that great when it comes to his voice.
WTH?
Justin T. or Usher?
Heck no, this boy copied MJ's 1988 Grammy epic performance of Man In The Mirror. -.- That pissed me off. He can't even pull it off. He sucks!
Actually nobody SOUNDS too good tonite.
