Watch: 2012 American Music Awards Performances
The 2012 American Music Awards rocked the Nokia Theatre last night in Los Angeles. Among the performers who appeared live on the show, which aired via ABC, were Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Usher, Chris Brown and Swizz Beatz.
Lasting three hours – we barely made it to the end – the AMA was relatively dull compared to previous shows until the end when PSY popped up to perform his monster hit song “Gangnam Style”. However, the Korean superstar wasn’t alone as he enlisted MC Hammer to help him to wake up the then sleeping audience.
