American Music Awards 2012 Winners

Although I didn't watch the 40th annual American Music Awards last night like 9.5 million other people I am among a group of people who contributed to some of the award show's lowest ratings ever.

But I must say Nicki Minaj changing outfits and wigs over three times as well as joining Justin Bieber on stage for their Beauty And A Beat collabo, with Usher opening the show and Psy the potential one hit wonder of Gangnam Style fame closing the show out with MC Hammer while the two danced to Psy's hit and Hammer's Too Legit To Quit and a Stevie Wonder tribute to Dick Clark one would think the show was a hit but numbers don't lie.

I'm sorry, I'm just never moved by the AMAs nothing personal...butttttttttt I will do a couple posts about the winners and some of my favorite and not so favorite looks of the night.

Congratulations to ALL the winners of the evening.
