Minaj is the night's leading nominee, along with Rihanna, with four bids each. Swift is nominated for favorite female country artist and Linkin Park is in the running for alternative artist.

Carrie Underwood will be in attendance, and at 2:55 she basically implies that she will be performing. Won't add her to the official list until an official press release comes out, but expect Carrie to be added.

Woo!
Christina, P!nk, Carrie... Throw Kelly in there and I'll be in Pulse Diva heaven.
I can't imagine she won't perform, right? She's nominated, has an album coming out the following day, new single to promote, has ties with ABC from 'Duets' (which I know wasn't exactly a hit for them, but still)...

Usher IS performing! YAY! I was starting to think he was over his whole era.
I hope he does a medley though (Dive intro/Euphoria? Please?) b/c if he gets up there and only performs a pop single the r&b fans are only going to be irritated by that.

If a fanbase is that fickle and easily irritated, I wouldn't want them anymore. Perform what you want, Usher baby!

His recent sales already prove his R&B fans don't want him either. So it's 50/50.

If a fanbase is that fickle and easily irritated, I wouldn't want them anymore. Perform what you want, Usher baby! LOL! On principle I would agree, but in reality, when Usher eventually decides to settle into UAC/"grown folks' music" (as is the typical path for r&b artists once they've outgrown the younger market) he is going to need some of those fickle r&b fans (think R. Kelly's current target audience), who at least will be open to that transition. The pop fans likely won't care for it and his chances of solidifying himself on AC/HAC seem iffy. I don't think I recall him ever doing well on AC at all, in fact.

It will undoubtedly be more performances and less awards. They'll probably announce the big ones, and one or two from each genre. Then the rest will be practically back to back performances, much like the CMAs were two weeks ago.

The annual pop spectacle has produced dozens of memorable moments and performances, from the quiet grace of Madonna's duet with Babyface in 1995 to the controversial sexuality of Adam Lambert in 2009 to the historic collaboration of "We Are The World" in 1986. Can't get enough AMAs? Check out these 10 memorable moments in the award's history, and sound off about which artist you're most looking forward to seeing in the comments section below. Michael Jackson - 'Dangerous' (1993)The ultimate pop performer was in rare form at the 20th annual AMAs, delivering a precise take on his "Dangerous" title track alongside a slew of lookalike dancers. Jackson's lock-step dance moves kick up a notch when he kicks off his black jacket, and the conclusion of the performance is met with a standing ovation as Jackson tries to catch his breath. A young Mariah Carey is also shown in the crowd, applauding the King of Pop with the rest of her peers. Madonna and Babyface - 'Take a Bow' (1995)Perched on adjacent platforms and backed by a full orchestra, Madonna and Babyface delivered their classic "Bedtime Stories" ballad with equal aplomb. Seventeen years later, the style battle is still difficult to judge -- but we'll give the slight edge to Kenneth Edmonds for rocking the no-fuss button-up. We have to give him something, since the telecast's cameraman certainly didn't give Babyface any extended airtime in this clip! 'N Sync - 'Bye Bye Bye' (2000) 'N Sync's album title "No Strings Attached" is a nod to the group's split from their old management, and their 2000 AMAs performance certainly played up the puppet-strings metaphor featured on the album cover. As magical gloves "direct" five aerial artists in back of them, the boy band delivered a tireless performance of "Bye Bye Bye," complete with some of the same choreography as its music video. A dozen years later, we still have fond memories of Justin Timberlake's luscious blonde locks. Britney Spears - 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' (2002)Remember when Britney Spears sang live? Perhaps you don't. Then let's take a YouTube-authorized time machine back one decade, to a time when Brit slayed "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" at the 2002 American Music Awards. With beau Justin Timberlake watching on and footage from "Crossroads" (!) playing behind her, Spears showcased her vocal prowess -- check out that emotional finale! -- while sporting a tasteful evening gown. Sing your heart out, Brit. 'We Are The World' (1986)"It was a song, it was an idea, and it was a prayer that was heard around the world," Diana Ross told the audience at the 1986 AMAs of "We Are The World," the African famine relief charity single that was the result of a stunning collaborative effort between pop music's biggest stars. After honoring Harry Belafonte with a special award of appreciation, a slew of the "World" performers, including Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen, came onstage for a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Adam Lambert - 'For Your Entertainment' (2009)The "American Idol" runner-up shocked the AMAs crowd with a racy rendition of "For Your Entertainment" in which he sang, "Can you handle what I'm about to do?" Some could not, as Lambert's performance, which included a sloppy kiss with a male guitarist and some choice S&M gear, sparked immediate controversy. The performance still stands as Lambert's most memorable awards show outing, although his career hasn't slowed down at all -- "Trespassing," his sophomore album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last May. Lady Gaga - 'Bad Romance' (2009) As Lady Gaga's art-pop aesthetic began to hypnotize more and more fans, the singer unveiled one of her patently bizarre award-show performances at the 2009 ceremony, when she sank her teeth into the "Fame Monster" monster hit "Bad Romance." Obscuring her face with a bony light-up mask and clawing her way in front of her dedicated troupe of dancers, Gaga sells the darkly lit performance when she crashes a mic stand through a faux glass window and hunkers down on a flaming piano. It may not have been a giant egg, but chalk this one up as one of Gaga's most innovative award sets. LMFAO - 'Party Rock Anthem' & 'Sexy and I Know It' (2011)Party rock was in the house the night that LMFAO closed out the 2011 AMAs with their pair of Hot 100 No. 1 hits. If turning the awards show into a rave for eight minutes was not quite enough excitement, how about Justin Bieber gracing the stage with an impromptu version of the running man? Or Redfoo deciding to wiggle it after stripping down to his skivvies? Or David Hasselhoff -- yes, the Hoff himself -- ripping off his pants in front of all of America? Thank you, LMFAO, for simply being yourselves at the AMAs last year. Justin Bieber - 'Pray' (2010)One year before partying with LMFAO at the AMAs, teen star Justin Bieber offered a different look at the 2010 ceremony by performing the "My Worlds Acoustic" ballad "Pray." The Biebs gave the audience a few twinkles of the piano before moving center stage and endlessly emoting as dramatic images flashed behind him. Sure, the gospel choir was a bit excessive -- but Beliebers deserve only the best. Beyonce - 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)' (2008)Flanked by a pair of dancers just like in her "Single Ladies" music video, Beyonce shimmied and glimmered through the "Sasha Fierce" classic during the 2008 show. Moving her stunning body in a simple black-and-white outfit, Queen Bey effortlessly commanded the stage with some well-timed audience engagement and without any big-budget histrionics. Simply stated, it was a classic Beyonce performance in a long line of them, and had us pointing to our ring fingers by song's end.
