AMA Awards 2010: Justin Bieber youngest ever Artist of the Year
Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber became the youngest artist in history to win the American Music Awards Artist of the Year prize. Upon winning, the adorable moppet hugged (among others) Usher and fellow nominee Katy Perry. He then took the stage (with an adorable shake of his signature floppy hair) and said: "Wow. This means ... I don't know what else to say. My fans are amazing. I want to thank my label ... I want to thank everybody, my mom for giving up so much for me, my family, my dad. But you know, I really got this opportunity about a year and a half ago and really was embraced by a man named Usher Raymond. I feel like he's had such an amazing career and it would be only right if I invited him up here to share it with me. Not only my mentor, but my best friend and my big brother. I love you, man."
And Usher came up on stage for another big hug. It was a cute moment to cap off the 2010 AMAs. It was also the final award in a Bieber sweep. He took home all awards he was up for -- Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist Pop/Rock, Favorite Album Pop/Rock and finally Artist of the Year.
Congrats Bieb!

What a travesty.
JUSTIN BIEBER SAID,"....I WANT TO THANK MICHAEL JACKSON CUS OF HIM WE WOULDN'T BE HERE". WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? HAHAHA, BEFORE MICHAEL THERE WAS MUSIC AND BEFORE MICHAEL THERE WAS HUMANITY, THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING THAT EXIST'S. KID YOU WERE ON THE RIGHT TRACK BY THANKING YOUR PARENTS, YOUR WORK STAFF AND GOD ABOVE EVERYONE, CUS WITHOUT GOD... ALL OF US INCLUDING YOU, WOULDN'T BE HERE.
The AMAs are a joke
Congratulations to Boys Don't Cry Hilary Swank.
It appears that Lady Gaga had the exact same problem that chris brown did. Her little monsters are fuming that she lost the ‘Artist of the Year’ Award to Justin Bieber. Gaga’s friend Israel Hernandez vented his frustrations on Twitter last night. Apparently, her manager Troy Taylor also claims she was suppose to win, but they gave it to Bieber instead because he was at the show and she wasn’t
Yea Gagga stinks. When she first came out as just a singer. No one cared. She had to start doing stupid things to get noticed. Now Madonna was a real artist. She got noticed for her singing and did the stupid stuff later on. Beiber better save his money. Those tweens grow up. Just ask Hanson and all the boy bands.
JUSTIN BIEBER IS SOOOOOOO THE BOB HE ROCKS KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP LUV U ALWAYS BIGGEST FAN EVER!!!!!
Next year, it'll be Willow Smith. In 2012, my by-then five-year-old nephew.
