The Canada of American music award shows was certainly all the Canucks Sunday. The 2012 American Music Awards were mad for the likes of Canadian cherubs Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber, as the two dominated the awards alongside life-size Barbie doll Nicki Minaj. The performance-heavy show brought many of today’s top musical talents. Much happened in the three-hour epic, but we here at Hollywood.com aren’t afraid to be service-y, so we broke down the best and worst moments from the AMAs just for you. Let’s dig in!
Worst Use of Leather Pants: Usher.
Worst Use of a Leather Shirt: Justin Bieber
Most Pompadour-y: Justin Bieber Jenny McCarthy
Best Use of Glitter: Taylor Swift
Most, Um, Spirited (?): Eric Stonestreet
Because Taylor had a purse, I tried to be helpful. And no, not drunk just tipsy.
