Sunday night's American Music Awards seemed much tamer than many of the other awards shows lately but there were a few moments during the evening that had viewers buzzing.
1) Justin Timberlake epitomizes "crossover"
Before presenting him with his award, comedian Sarah Silverman joked that the competition was between Timberlake, the son of the "dad from Growing Pains" (aka) Robin Thicke and Rihanna.
2) J.Lo pays tribute to Celia Cruz
Jennifer Lopez sang a medley of Spanish tunes made famous by Cruz who passed away in 2003.
3) Lady Gaga and R. Kelly get "Trapped in the Closet"
Gaga's performance appeared to be a play on the reported John F. Kennedy/Marilyn Monroe romance as Gaga played secretary to his "President Kelly" and stripped down to a spangled bodysuit.
4) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis get political
Accepting the award for favorite rap/hip hop album, Macklemore used the opportunity to speak out against racial profiling. "Due to the fact that we are in Florida tonight accepting this award, I want to acknowledge Trayvon Martin and the hundreds and hundreds of kids who are dying each year due to racial profiling and the violence that follows."
5) Rihanna's mom presents her with an award
Rihanna's mom presented her with the first ever Icon award. "Rihanna, I'm so proud of you tonight," Fenty said. "I know the journey in your career has not always been an easy one, but tonight I applaud and admire you." She said
6) Miley Cyrus and her crying cat
Miley is known for her crazy outfits so, the 2 piece cat printed outfit was not that surprising, however when the ginger kitten floating through space on the big screen behind her mouthed the words to the song and began crying what appeared to be diamonds was a bit disconcerting I was a bit surprised
If you didn't watch the AMA's please go look it up. At least go look up Miley's performance.
