Last night was the talk of the e-streets as the 2012 American Music Awards took over the Nokia Theater in LA and also everyone’s television sets. Usher opened up the 40th annual night with his energetic performance of “Numb” “Climax” and a “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” medley.
After the jump, check out Nicki Minaj touch the stage for “Freedom” and also joining Justin Bieber on stage while he performed “As Long As You Love Me” (sans Big Sean) and “Beauty And A Beat”. Also Swizz Beats, Chris Brown, and Ludacris did their “Everyday Birthday” record, Stevie Wonder paid homage to the late Dick Clark, and MC Hammer joined PSY to close the night with a rendition of “Gangnam Style” and “Too Legit To Quit”.
