AMA's 2014!

  This year AMA's were absolutely awesome! There were liver performances from amazing artist including Selena Gomez, One Direction, Imagine Dragons, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Lorde and more! They were all great performances, I couldn't pick a favorite.

First thing first, Taylor was the first performance of the night with her song Blank Spaces and it was incredible. The song itself is so catchy and her performance was out of this world. She also won the Dick Clark Award for Excellence which she definitely deserved. With her album 1989 selling over a million copies in the first week, she's come so far. Starting off as a country singer, she's now pop, does amazing things for her fans and friends and is just a well rounded person! Congratulations Taylor!
  One Direction was nominated for 3 awards; Favorite band, Duo or, Group - Pop/rock, Favorite Pop/Rock album, and Artist of the Year. They also won for all three of those, the album of course, being Midnight Memories which came out a little over a year ago. They did a live performance of their song Night Changes and it was amazing! Every single one of them are exceptional and One Direction wouldn't be the same even if just one person was not in there. All of their solo parts were flawless, of course. They also couldn't be any

sweeter, every chance they get they thanks their fans for getting them where they are. Since the beginning they've been thanking their fans and haven't stopped. You don't see that with most bands or artist and I really appreciate them taking the time out of there day just to say thank you. They really are so sincere!
  Iggy Azalea won Favorite Rap/Hip Hop album along with Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist. She's come a long way and has worked hard to get where she is today. She's even got to collaborate with J Lo and Ariana Grande, which must have been amazing.
  5 Seconds of Summer were nominated for New Artist of the Year and won, while also doing a performance of What I Like About You. This band has also come a great distance and is amazing, every single one of them! Starting of in Sydney, Australia and now they're on the AMA's has got to be an amazing feeling! Also, winning New Artist of the Year, you could tell Micheal was the most excited he jumped so high out of his seat and the smile never left his face after that! They definitely deserved to win.

  Selena Gomez's performance of The Heart Wants What It Wants was beautiful! It was the first time the song had ever been performed live before and it must have been an emotional song for her because she cried a little during the performance. Non the less, she stayed up there and finished her performance flawlessly. Also, the background just behind her was amazing. It started off with clouds filling the sky and lightning and at one point there were wings and she was standing in the perfect spot for it to look like she had wings. The song itself was beautiful and her performance was great, as always!
