Very forgettable award show this year. Glad Taylor won 3 althrough.
Memorable moments- Anna Kendrick's Speech for Best Soundtrack Win for Pitch Perfect 2 Selena Gomez's Performance for "Same Old Love"
Disappointed at Ariana Grande's win over Taylor Swift and I even like Ariana's albums but Really???
Anyways Taylor will win everything come Grammy time.

How does Ariana win best female pop vocal performance over Taylor Swift? Or Nicki Minaj winning best rapper over Fetty Wap? That's when I realized the show was a joke.

anyways you have to be present in order to win
if Taylor was there, of course she would got it
now sometimes they give it anyway even if the winner isn't there
but i guess it just wasn't Taylor's night

I wonder if it were two guys or two girls kissing they would have cut away from the clip quickly unlike what they did with Meghan and Charlie.
I still remember that Adam Lambert controversy at the AMAs a few years ago...

Taylor wasn't there in 2009 and won many that night. As much as I like Ariana Grande,I have nothing againest her actually.Love both her albums. Taylor has many fans and has sold more albums and singles than Ariana. It is a win from last night that makes no sense at all. It is like they pick the winners out of a hat randomly.

Watched the opening, and tuned out after- I get what they were doing (a run-through/medley of the year's big hits), but it was a hot mess.

Celine Dion's performance gives me chills. I can't understand a damn thing she's singing, but her voice, her emotion.. Her voice could break any language barrier and make everyone feels moved. Celine had reminded us that she's a legend.
Just.... beautiful.

Wait, maybe they just didn't air the awards Taylor won? I mean, she did win 3 of her 6 categories...

Taylor had 4 big hits this year.Blank space, Style, Bad blood, and Wildest dreams. Ariana only had 1 hit with Focus.Doesnt make sense why Ariana won best pop vocal performance over Taylor.

Stats don't matter. Once you're nominated, it's about whoever's fanbase is stronger. This still leaves me confused, though, because Taylor MUST have a larger fanbase...

Selena's and Ariana's performances were absolutely GORGEOUS! Just amazing! Bieber, The Weeknd and Demi were great, as well :)

ABCβs broadcast of the American Music Awards was down a bit compared to last yearβs show, falling three tenths in adults 18-49 (3.5 vs. 3.8 in 2014). It was nonetheless ABCβs best Sunday performance of the season by a wide margin.
American Music Awards (ABC) (8-11 p.m.) 3.5/10 10.98

Celine and Alanis on the same show, with receipts why the 90s were the best decade. Poor whoever is up next. No, it doesn't matter. The show ended on a high note with Celine. Catching up on the performances now and I have to second this. With a few exceptions (Carrie, Ariana, Karen Fairchild when she's singing better material), the talent drop-off post-'90s is significant. It's not that the newer acts are bad (and of course, talent can grow with experience); they're just not up to par with the exceptional acts that were at the forefront of music 20 years ago. And I'm not saying this as some bitter old "back in my day" curmudgeon; I'm 23.

Actually focus wasn't really a part of the cosideration for Arianna . It would be more love me harder and one last time since those songs fell in the time frame that the show measures
