The 2011 AMAs (Photos And Video Performances) Nicki Minaj Wins New Artist Of The Year




Taylor Swift continued her reign in the music world Sunday night at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles, where the young songstress walked away with the night’s top honor of Artist of the Year. She also won Favorite Country Female Artist, while her Speak Now album won Favorite Country Album.

Adele earned two awards including Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist, but skipped the ceremony as she’s recovering from recent throat surgery.


Katy Perry earned a special achievement award for being the first female pop artist with five No. 1 hit singles off one album – Teenage Dream.


Nicki Minaj, backed by French DJ David Guetta, performed her hit “SuperBass” in a metallic outfit that had two large speakers on her butt. At one point, she plugged herself into a fake electrical outlet on the front of her costume, crossing the divide between performance and surrealism.

The show also featured performances from Drake, Katy Perry, Daughtry, Enrique Iglesias with Ludacris, Lil Jon, will.i.am, Mary J. Blige, The Band Perry, David Guetta, Drake, Pitbull, Maroon 5 and last year’s Artist of the Year, Justin Bieber, singing his new Christmas song “Under The Mistletoe”.
