With the American Music Awards happening at 8pm tonight on ABC, most of the big stars will be performing in one place. The event will be held live at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre, LA.
The performers for the AMAs this year are quite impressive. Scheduled to appear this Sunday night at the Nokia Theater in L.A. are Mariah Carey, Coldplay, The Fray, The Jonas Brothers, Alicia Keys, Annie Lennox, Leona Lewis, Ne-Yo, New Kids on the Block, Pink, Pussycat Dolls, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Kanye West, with most of them also nominated for awards.
The AMAs are seen as the first of the “Big Three” music award shows, and honor artists based on popularity over quality. It also allows the fans — not industry insiders — to vote for the winners. Created by Dick Clark in 1973 for ABC, the AMAs were meant to compete with the Grammys after they moved to CBS. Now in its 35th year, the show is still on the same network, but has undergone a few changes.
