Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, others dazzle at American Music Awards
November 28, 2015
The 43rd Annual American Music Awards have been held at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The star-studded event was hosted by Jennifer Lopez. Powerhouse singer, Taylor Swift was the biggest winner of the night with three awards.
Talented singer, Jennifer Lopez hosted the awards show and used the beginning to remind the world that she’s still got it as she sang a bit of a slowed-down version of her 1999 hit “Waiting for Tonight” before stopping and insisting that it was not all about her. Then she proceeded to make it all about her by dancing to some of the year’s biggest hits.
Someone forgot to tell Jenny from the Block that at the age of 46, folks don’t expect her to out-dance some of these youngsters. Of course, the Internet tried to make it a beef when Nicki Minaj was shown reacting to Lopez’s booty-shaking to Minaj’s hit “Anaconda.”
Another highlight of the show saw the organisers proving that the recent terror attack in Paris was on the minds of AMA attendees as actor Jared Leto introduced singer Celine Dion to the stage with the words “France matters. Russia matters. Syria matters. Mali matters. The Middle East matters. The United States matters. The entire world matters, and peace is possible.”
Dion launched into an emotional rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne a L’amour” as a string orchestra played and images of Paris flashed in the background.
Also, Justin Bieber made sure he was sprinkled with water on stage and got wet all throughout his performance.The teenage musician ended the show with a medley of hits from his new album, “Purpose.” He went acoustic for “What Do You Mean” and danced his way through “Where Are Ü Now.”
But for “Sorry,” Bieber turned on the waterworks with a rain shower that left him soaked and crooning his apology.
The crowd was disappointed when artistes like Nicki Minaj and Rihanna did not perform at the show, but were exited as other winners including Ed sheeran, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, among others, were announced
