Justin Bieber Prevails in American Music Awards

Evidently, Justin Bieber ruled the American Music Awards when he snapped all four prizes in one night. The 38th annual American Awards was conducted last Sunday night at the Los Angeles Nokia Theater, where Bieber was hailed “Artist of the Year”.

Apart from that, this 16 year-old pop star also won 3 other statuettes for favorite pop album for his My World 2.0 album, favorite pop artist, as well as the breakthrough artist. He won in all categories where he was nominated. Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun, along with Eminem in 2008 upon seeing his videos on YouTube.

This young heartthrob outran other popular artists such as Eminem, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga for the top-prized awards. The winners were decided by the votes of fans, which expectedly gave Bieber the advantage from most of the teenage girls’ votes around the world.

Going into the Sunday’s event, Eminem, as well as Lady Antebellum headed the candidates with five nominees each. Eminem, who didn’t attend the event, fell behind Bieber when he just won two prizes for the favorite male rap/hip-hop artist and best rap/hip-hop for his album, Recovery, against Bieber’s three awards, while Lady Antebellum won the best country group.
