American Music Awards 2012 Performances and Winners- Justin Bieber, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown, and more

The AMAs brought out a few good performances this year. Some artists used the stage to premiere a couple of new songs, and others like  Kelly Clarkson took us down memory lane. My faves of the night were Justin Bieber, No Doubt- who STILL has it, and of course Psy bringing out MC Hammer to close out the show in true Gangnam form!

Other artists who performed included Nicki Minaj, Pink who's performance I loved as well, Usher, and Christina Aguilera. Swizz Beatz & his boys Chris Brown and Ludacris also got the crowd hype with their first performance of Everyday Birthday.

It was a good night as far as winning goes for most of the performers as well. Justin took home the big award of the night- Artist of the Year along with Favorite Pop Rock Male artist, and Favorite Pop Rock Album. Nicki Minaj won Fave Rap hip hop/rap and album. While the New Artist of the year went to Carly Rae Jepsen.

A few other winners include Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Rihanna, and Beyonce.

Check out some of the performances you may have missed! Congrats to all of the winners.
