 Holy crap was that ever a show. One that appealed to viewers under the age of 25. Seriously. Beyonce, Rihanna and Katy Perry were no shows, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing to talk about. Let's start with the usual red carpet/fashion hits and misses. JLo looked hot all night; Carrie Underwood looked like a princess; and Gigi made a skanky look work. On the other hand: Z La La (don't know who the eff she is) looked interesting; Gwen Stefani was just I don't even know; and Selena Gomez looked like she was wearing a Christmas shower curtain. Hits:
Misses:
JLo hosted and opened the 2015 American Music Awards and let's just say that her performance skills are more memorable than her hosting skills. Instead of singing, she opted to dance to all of this year's hit songs including Uptown Funk, Anaconda, 7/11, Hotline Bling, Thinking Out Loud, Bitch Better Have My Money and more. Check it out: Though there were many performances, so I will only address the ones that count (in my opinion). Selena Gomez looked flawless as she performed Same Old Love featuring huge ass disco balls and tap dancing dudes.  Meghan Trainor (so much for a one hit wonder) performed with Charlie Puth and finished it on an unexpected note. I puked in my mouth. Following the performance, Charlie claimed that they're just friends... I don't think friends do this:  Alanis Morissette and Demi Lovato killed You Oughta Know.  Celine Dion payed tribute to Paris and the rest of the world by belting Hymne de L'Amour.  Fans had the chance to geek out when a scene from the latest Star Wars movie was screened followed by a special performance by Pentatonix and a live orchestra.  The most anticipated performance of the night goes to Justin (ugh) Bieber (ugh). Continuing his return to the music spotlight for the right reasons, he had the opportunity to close the show with hits from his new album Purpose.  Because there were a ton of performers, there were a ton of presenters including, Taylor Lautner (he's alive and well), Diddy (does he still go by that?), Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner, Tyrese + his adorable daughter, Paula Abdul, Donnie Wahlberg and so many more stars that made me happier than almost all of the performers put together!
And now.... I saved the best part for last... The winners and losers! T-Swift was MIA so it was anyone's game. The big winners were The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj winning two awards each. A disappointment was definitely Ariana Grande winning Favourite Female Pop/Rock Artist. There are some many great female artists and they picked her? Grrr. Like I said before. This show was for all of the teenie boppers out there. For a full list of winners click here. Did you tune into the 2015 AMAs? What were your fav moments? What made you cringe?
