Wow. This is so exciting!! I’m so happy for him. 1 year ago nobody knew his name and how he’s taken the world by storm. About.com’s prediction was pretty good….
2010 AMAs: Justin Bieber Wins Three Coveted Awards
Justin Bieber added three more awards to his collection at the live telecast of the 38th Annual American Music Awards. The Canadian pint-sized idol took home T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist, beating the shortlist of such competitors as Mike Posner, Lady Antebellum and Travis McCoy.
The “Baby” hitmaker who was introduced by fellow young star Willow Smith for his “Pray” performance also pocketed Favorite Pop/Rock Album, thanks to his “My World 2.0”. The extended play of his debut album “My World” topped Eminem’s “Recovery” and Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”.
Later, Bieber was handed Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. He once again beat the Slim Shady in addition to his mentor Usher. “Without Michael Jackson, none of us would be here,” he said when collecting the prize on stage. The late King of Pop was inspiration behind his new song “Pray”.
Although losing two categories to Bieber, the Slim Shady who didn’t attend the November 21 prize-giving event managed to grab one prize. The rapper was named Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist in a tight battle against B.o.B and Drake.
ACE SHOWBIZ
…but they underestimated the power of J Bieber because he actually took home 4 awards (which Ace Showbiz also missed). Justin also won the biggest prize of the night, Artist of the Year beating out Eminem and Usher. Epic!
Congrats JB. Pattie must be so proud tonight.
