Last night was the 2011 American Music Awards and in cased you missed it, here is a recap and the list of winners. 

The night opened with Nicki Minaj dressed as a robot and wearing a pink Shirley Temple wig. She was backed by DJ David Guetta and blasted some pyrotechnics into he audience and it was cool. 

Justin Bieber sang a Christmas song and later changed into a tuxedo and put gel into his hair like he was ready for the 1950’s prom. 

Chris Brown sang and dance and was really good at both, no surprise here. Mary J. Blige performed a new song and it was awesome. Kelly Clarkson was there to remind everyone she's still around. 

Katy Perry performed an acoustic set and played the guitar and got a, what, standing ovation! 

J.Lo shut the house down with her Vegas-inspired number and she even brought one of those Fiat cars onstage in the worlds greatest marketing moment ever.
