AMA 2013

If you were under a rock of some sort last night and didn’t even glance at social media, you may not know that the 2013 American Music Awards had everyone’s attention. In case you missed it, here’s a recap of who won which awards and clips of some of the performances.

The ceremony was hosted by Pitbull who made sure twerking got some national spotlight, Justin Timberlake performed well, as always, R. Kelly and Lady Gaga did their own rendition of JFK and Marilyn Monroe, TLC reunited to perform “Waterfalls”(with Lil Mama returning in her role as Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes), and Ariana Grande stole the show and sparked “Ariana Carey” whispers. Rihanna also won the very first American Music Award Icon Award before performing “Diamonds.” Check out the videos and award list below.–Keith Reid-Cleveland
