Making its way to US television screens in coming weeks, the 2011 American Music Awards is one of the year’s most anticipated events.
To be hosted by Nicki Minaj and Pitbull, the event’s performers were confirmed just minutes ago.
Find out who made the cut below…
Jennifer Lopez
Nicki Minaj
Kelly Clarkson
Katy Perry
Justin Bieber
Usher
Christina Aguilera
More performers are expected to join the line up in coming days.
Award shows aren’t exciting as they use to be, so I don’t expect anything different from the American Music Awards.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh NICKiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Booooooring….
Sane ol s***
What the hell is usher going to perform? I’m sure whatever it is the performance will be full of Michael jackson dance moves which he continues to rip off. No thanks.
HA HA No Chris Brown what you say #TeamBrezezy???????
CHRISTINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ugh, Award Shows Have REALLY Let themselves Go The Last Few Years ! The Only People I’m checking For Are Usher, Jenifer, Kelly, & Xtina Everyone Else Will Be So Predictable With The SAME BORING S*** !
@India although I’m not #TeamBreezy I say you need to learn how to spell. Anywhoo Not excited and Justin Bieber his 15 minutes needs to be up.
YES!!I have been watiing for Christina to perform original material since November last year!!!YES Christina!!She had better slay!!!
Now AFTER ALL I can actually be excited about the American Music Awards 😀 😀 😀
Oh and I’ll definetely be checking for Jennifer Lopez too.I want some killer choreography!!She is after all lining up some promo appearances!!But it’s still going to be all about Christina for me!!!
Um no thanks, unless Rihanna will be performing, which I’m sure she will. Her album is out the day after the show = huge promotion, which her label wouldn’t want her to miss. Hope she doesn’t do this satellite thing though, I hate it when people perform via satellite.
Unless Michael Jackson is gonna pop outta his grave and perform that reward show is gonna be BORING as hell. I’ll pass.
YES NICKI AND CHRISTINA ! I am a SEMI-FAN NOW OF CHRISTINA !
hopefully Rihanna, Gaga, Britney and Beyonce are performing too !
Does Kelly Clarkson even have any new music out??
does Kelly Clarkson even have any new music out?
Um, calm your tits. X-Tina is Performing wit them pasty white maroon boys. No original s***.
Plus, he forgot Katy Perry is performing too.
Nicki is going to slay!
What xtina gonna perform? I can’t wait She dances and sings!! Xtina body needs to go back to What it use to be anyway I know Nicki gonna slay and Jlo I can’t wait but Xtina? Damn I’m excited AF now
CHRISTINA AGUILERA !??!?!?!
New single premiere maybe 😮 ?!
Nicki will probably perform Super Bass or something else and Christina will probably perform Moves Like Jagger or her new song !
@B
She does. Her new single is called ‘Mr. Know It All’. It’s Amazing check it out!
Ewwwww Xtina going to perform “Moves like jagger” So sad But hey atleast she gonna do something
@ Love On Top
well … maroon 5 is not listed so thus far we can only think it would be about Aguilera 🙂
And Usher also as solo
so looks to me like there would be plenty of premiers on the show 😀
exiting 🙂
@LOVE ON TOP Oh yea, Christina is going to perform a No.1 smash that will be triple platinum by the end of the year in just the US and that made her the 8th artist to get a No.1 in 3 different decades.This is indeed so sad *sheds a tear
Justin will sing Mistletoe perhaps
Nicki Superbass it’s her most popular song, and her biggest solo hit
Christina will probably perform with Maroon5
JLo Papi
Usher perhaps with David Guetta
Kelly has new music out (Mr Know It All) is the song, she’ll probably sing that or another new song.
Chile I’m bored already.
oh god..justin bieber is gonna bring christmas around thanksgiving time!!!! better that then 2 hear him perform 2 year old fans!!!
songs i mean
@B, don’t listen to those lies. Kelly’s new stuff is a mess. It’s the same ol’ same ol’ and it’s bout to flop like there’s no tomorrow.
The first single has gone no where and the entire album leaked last month.
Yes JLo she needs performances! And go Nicki! Hope Bey performs!
NO Ma’am ==>>
Why isn’t Kelly Rowland performing she has the hottest R&B single out right now, and saying that as fact. No from a fans perspective. She has to perform and perfrom a balled that show cases her voice for all it worth.
They better Invite Bey, Rih, or even Kelly Rowland if they want some RATINGS 😐
Not gonna happen with Washed up FLUSHer, P**-Tina, Justin LAMEber, or Snicki Whoraj on the set list. 😕
*THE END OF MUSIC*
We’re still a month out from the show. I’m sure more people will sign up before then.
Not all the performers have been announced yet.Don’t get disappointed 😎
And btw your fave cannot give them any ratings.Their promotional trail can 😉
@IMGUNNACHECKUBOO
They have all “signed up”.They just won’t announce them all at the same time
Flop-Tina perform ?! *It`s fun* ( Britney voice ) 😀
Nicki Minaj, JLO and David Guetta save AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS this year. 🙂
Justin Bieber and Usher performs new song. Or Usher perform With Out You ft David Guetta and J.B. – Mistletoe .
Very Cool – Nicki Minaj !!! <3
Cool – JLO and Justin Bieber !! 😀
Nice – David Guetta, Usher and Katy Perry !! 🙂
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
The rest are FLOP like Aguilera !! 🙂
The lineup sucks besides Usher, Xtina and JLo.
Uh!!
I did it again!!
@ ASAP
Before I opened this post I just knew Christina was going to be performing. She has the last few years so it’s only necessary they continue the trend.
Christina’s about to remind y’all why she’s a BAD B****!
This linup sucks ass too except for Nicki and Christina !
Rhianna, Beyonce, Britney, Gaga better be performing too !
And I doubt Christina will perform Moves Like Jagger.
That song has already hit #1 all over the world including US itunes and it currently sits at #2. Among many other accolades, I doubt it become anymore successful than what it’s already is.
I bet you anything Christina will either perform a song that didn’t make Bionic, a new song she recorded for her new album or just do another medley.
the same as always.
boring.
Same old same old. I am bore of the five names that keep being asked to perform on awards shows. Surprised that Rihanna is not performing. The only one I would like to see is Chris Brown.
i really hope nicki performs FLYY.! especially if they announce that rihanna is gonna be there.! it would be good promotion for the song that could possibly boost the album sales.! but i dont really see it happening because everyone loves SUPERBASS & it was her biggest hit so she might just stick with that.! *crosses fingers & hopes for FLYY*.
If they don’t add more artists, I might have to pass on this one.

HA HA No Chris Brown what you say #TeamBrezezy???????
______________________________________________________________
Chris Brown is on tour. If his scedule permits, I’m sure he will attend. They are going to need Chris or Beyonce to make this sho exciting. Say what you want about Beyonce but the girl does put on a great performance.
Hope beyonce and baby carter perform and shut it down like always I see baby carter in the future becoming one badass performer and out shining mama BEY after all she’s learning from the best…back to the list uhm those are all basic flop performers…NEXT!!! Even though home girl riri can’t perform but she still bring em ratings…I’m here for adele beyonce riri and gaga and bruno the rest bye ow and who the f is pitbull again??
jlo omg i cant wait
@Asap pls take a seat I do not what your obsession with me is so I prescribe you to take 10 seats down Don’t come for me I just wanna hear new material so That’s why I’m dissapointed Shoot me for wanting new tracks you don’t have to be a b**** bout it I wanna see her slay again And we have seen them perform it before soooooooooooooooooo I would like to see her do a new track Bye
Add me on facebook siphiwe king mahlangu
@india they said more is to come dumb b****
I don’t know what Christina will perform.It’s all SOOO intriguing.MLJ has peaked and Maroon 5 are not listed anyway and her album is due out in Summer 2012, so what could she perform??Could it be a non-announced side project (charity single, Christmas single, tribute)??Anyway, it is SOO exciting.I CANNOT wait.
@LOVE ON TOP Obsession??I responded to you on one post…I don’t even remember talking to you again…And I didn’t shoot you or attack you.I was being sarcastic.Why is it that people on blogs can never see through sarcasm. 🙄
Chris Brown no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
All my favs!: Christina, Jlo and Chris Brown! It would be a great night if Jessie J and JoJo were performing too!
YEEEES1 JLO you better slay mama, I want it and I want it all.don’t hold back,give us iheartradion plus honey. I will be looking forward to jlo and kelly, I would say christina but I just do not like that song and it got old fast,if she’s to perform new material then yes but if it’s that tired jagger song I will not have my hopes up.the others have been played cuz they are performing everywhere but nothing different,that’s why i am excited for jlo and kelly, and jb is just an overrated bore soooo….
Senorita Lopez, it’s over; stop trying to make your latest flop happen. Looking forward to Kelly; she has proven her talents to be worth my time. Miss Biebs, I decline!
* of course that 1 at the end of YEEEES was supposed to be an !
@ Love on Top
They have already performed that song together once and that was on the Voice. The other times it was performed without Christina
I understand completely that you want to hear new music, f*** we all do…just don’t come at ASAP like that. We’re all fans of Christina and want to hear new music.
But anyway you don’t know if that’s what she’s going to perform so don’t just assume it that song!
I’m excited for J.Lo and Christina Aguilera, i don’t care if Christina is gonna perform with Marron 5, i just want to see her be part of the game again, i hope Rihanna will perform too her new single that would be awesome.
@ Onyx
Who`s that in your picture ?

HA HA No Chris Brown what you say #TeamBrezezy???????
—————————————————————————
I say you illiterate ass needs to learn how to read because it CLEARLY states that these are the list of performers SO FAR! Meaning they are gonna add more performers later on! Dumbass!
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @HONEY_DIP11 I FOLLOW BACK!
@JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA
Kurt Cobain lead singer from Nirvana
@ Onyx
Ooooo I dont know him he`s from the 90s right ?
Well this list is looking pretty bland as of right now. Nobody that I really want to see, the same old people and a couple of randoms. Hopefully the people they add will liven it up.
Jennifer Lopez?!?!? Well I guess she can perform one of her hits from that flop album of hers! What was the name of it again?!
Nicki Minaj….I’m sure she will perform ‘Super Bass’ and be up on stage in a ridiculous costume making a bunch of stupid faces. She is hot right now though so I’m not surprised….I just don’t want to see her. Her performances always suck.
Kelly Clarkson?!?!? Does she have something out now?! I forgot all about her ass!
Katy Perry…..BLAH! I hate all of her music!
Usher…I guess he is gonna perform ‘Without You’. Not the best performance song but it is a hit. I just hope he can liven ut up a bit cause the last time he performed it it was pretty boring.
Justin Bieber….*yawn* He irks my soul! Even if he performs with Usher I won’t care!
Christina…I love her but I wonder what she is gonna sing. Maybe that annoying ass song with Marron 5! I HATE that song. I just hope she doesn’t over sing like she tends to do. *shrugs*
If they are smart they would add Chris & Bey cause they would definitely add ratings. I don’t really care I’ve already seen his FAME tour and I’m not really here for the AMA’s anyways. *shrugs*
@JAMIR NO OFFENSE, but you don’t know Kurt Cobain?
@JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA
Yeah! his dead very sad, i’m a huge fan of Nirvana, he was cute and very talented.
@ ASAP
I have heard of him but I dont really know him !
I was born 1998 soooo he was before my time
anything after 1998 is my time !
@ Onyx
I know I heard he died from cocaine, marijuana, heroin, cocaine and marijuana mixed together or something else ?
@JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA
He shot himself, by the way you are more young than my little sister omg!, you are so young.

I hate that damn song!
@ Onyx
oooooooo well thats sad…oh yeah he did shot himself because it was this show about his death and stuff soooo okay !
I know i`m young !
The places that I can see Nicki being big in overseas is mostly
JAPAN AND THOSE OTHER ASIAN COUNTRIES AND EUROPE TOO !
ASAP (As Sincere As Possible)

@JAMIR NO OFFENSE, but you don’t know Kurt Cobain?
—————————————————————-
That’s cause he/she/it is an ignorant lil child! Can’t you tell by their comments?! It’s obvious his/hers/its brain hasn’t fully developed yet!
They need to stay off the internet and keep their head in a book!
@ VA Stand Up
First of all I am a HE you B**** !
Second of all how about you take yo ghetto hoodrat ass off of Chris Brown`s d*** as I mean by that I mean stop riding it…and go look for a book about how men treat women from the islands ! by Ronald Fenty !
Lmfaoooo *Boxer Announcer Voice* “Let the DRAGGING Begin ! ” DING DING
@Imgunnacheckuboo
Clarkson’s whole album has yet to leak. Some demos of songs that made the cut did leak, as did songs she wrote for other artists. The snippets came out today and the album is out in Japan I believe but the official record has yet to leak.
Christina should perform something new. Usher should do something from his recent studio sessions, but he’ll probably perform with David Guetta. Kelly has new stuff to perform. Rihanna will probably perform, should be interesting. J Lo will kill something, hopefully her performance as she has killed all of them lately. Don’t care about Bieber.
@VA STAND UP!!
I agree with you! I’d only tune in to see Chris Brown, Beyonce, and Adele. If the AMA were smart they would do their best to include them. You need good dancing at least one or two acts to diversify the performances! The people on this list we have all seen several times on all of the same award shows for the past two or three years now. especially Justin Bieber and Katy Perry.
Even though JLO doesn’t have the voice she’s exciting to watch. @Beyonce Adele fan, not trying to start an argument, but the AMA’s that Rihanna opened up last year had the lowest ratings in the shows 27 year history, and they promoted her as the opening act. Hope Chris Brown performs, his VMA performance was hot. I wish Beyonce would perform, you know she bring the ratings i.e billboard awards, BET awards, and VMA’s (could have since she was pregnant though) My girl Adele really need to perform.
String list for an average entertaining night. Here’s hoping Gaga and Beyonce join.
Who remembers what J.Lo did the last time she performed at the AMA’s?
I’m going on my Louboutins! I’m going on my… …Oh s***! *falls on ass*
@s*** (u mad) b**** kelly rowland did not garner ratings and NEVER HAS. I agree beyonce would garner ratings and gaga but that’s it. Kelly a non factor.
IM LOOKING FORWARD TO USHER AND CHRISTINA’ S PERFORMANCE. THE REST OF THEM NEVER SLAY IN MY OPINION.
USHERRR, I wonder what Usher will perform, will he debut a new song or will it be without you, USHER STILL BE SLAYIN
they need to scratch that whold list and try again….well nicki can stay..i like her even though she cant perform
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
same folks…..
YES! JLO!!!
she Will SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Kill it with a crazy performance of Papi…. too bad its not performing well on radio 🙁
Grammy-winning singer Beyonce can set aside her baby bump controversy for now, as it is her controversial February black face photo shoot paying tribute to late Nigerian musician/activist Fela Kuti which is now getting reexamined.
Based on an editorial piece by Huffington Post cultural critic Kiersten West, Beyonce’s tribute to Kuti represents her lack of knowledge of his past.
The fact that Beyonce Knowles, a self-proclaimed feminist who recently declared that “Girls Run The World”, appeared in L’Officiel Paris in blackface to honor Fela and his 27 “Queens”– even though he physically abused them — is a testament to the one dimensional perspective through which we examine Fela. It is also an ironic reflection of his priorities that the controversy generated over the images was due to her unfortunate choice to mimic racist satire — not her celebration of domestic violence, which disproportionately affects the Black and African-American women she claims to empower. In allowing herself to be blinded by his skewed mythology — that she protects and proliferates through her “iconic” photoshoot — she squandered an opportunity to not only speak out against violent crimes against women, but also to honor Fela’s true Queen: his mother, Funmilayo. (Huffington Post)
Beyonce loves the fame and attention; she has never seemed like a deep person to me. I bet she knows nothing about our hero, Fela, she just jumped on that band-wagon. And to the woman talking about Fela physically abusing his wives, she needs to get her facts right. I know she was trying to say Beyonce, being a feminist was contradicting herself by supporting fela who had many wives, but fela was never a wife beater.

@VA STAND UP
B**** have a hot ass seat! you talking about jlo performing flops and then name bey to perform?? b**** her songs have been all over the charts…..everywhere but the top! lmao
like most of the comments about jlo sating she has been slaying lately and will continue while your faves babies fold in half and the other(cb) folds women in half!
and jlo is not part of the same old same old,that would be gaga,beyonce,katy,justin b,kesha,nicki and chris. jlo does not pop up everywhere because she has a life you know…buyt cashing the big checks. 12 mil? 24 mil?
@ jesse true…
IM only interested in Jennifer Lopez im loving her right now!
@KERIHILSONSECONDCOMINGOFMJKeri
COPY/PASTING H**!!
Who do you think you’re fooling??
AINT NOBODY gon Believe your Dumbass wrote all that!
LMAOOOOOO!! 😆
@KERI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRU_JrDq-sk
Can this keri flopson stan sit the f*** done or go buy skeris two flop albums.your fav is a D_list in the states and a no one world wide keri is DONE with her 2007 rihanna hair cut.its unfair to compare keri to bey cause we know bey is the bigger star.star wise only brit can be compared to bey not even riri.dissmissed….BEYONCE AND ADELE TO PERFORM and keri to watch on tv from her motel
Spelling error down not done
Christina is the b****!! then comes NICKI!!!!!
Nicki Minaj and Christina Aguilera that,s it for me so far,waiting to see who else is going to perform that i want to see.
Chris Brown and Beyonce are exciting performers. Bu they do the same high energy performances. Rihanna lol enough said…. She looks like she just be playing or acting on stage. Kelly’s whole album didn’t leak some of those songs will not make the cut.
I can’t wait to see:
Jennifer Lopez
Nicki Minaj
Kelly Clarkson
Katy Perry
Christina Aguilera
But I hope they add Rihanna & Lady Gaga. I’m sure Beyoncé and Britney won’t perform.
NO Kelly Rowland = BORING
Christina and Nicki Minaj are going to be amazing 😀
I’m excited to see these artists performances except for Bieber, of course. Xtina’s the one I’m so excited to see. I hope she doesn’t perform that MLJ again. Gets boring. 🙂
lady gaga sould of be in the performers list that would be good
britney ,lady gaga, beyonce ,adele,jay z ,kanye sould of be performers
omg justin bieber omg
lets hope nicole sherzinger performs too
kelly rowland too
XTINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
How about some fresh faces like Monica, Brandy, Jessi J, J. Cole, I know with the above list it’s horrible. Even though Rhianna is not the best singer/performer I would rather see her than the other mention except for Usher (who’s is becoming boring)and Christina. Now knowing that the best entertainer/performer is pregnant this show will be sad and I don’t think I’ll be watching. Even if Beyonce would be able to attend and do one of her ballet’s( Dance For You, I Care, or I Was Here) and Lady GaGa than and only then would I watch and oh yes if they include the fresh faces mention above.
where will the Awards show be at this year?
@s*** CRUSTY ASS B**** NOBODY GIVES A F*** ABOUT MISS KING FLOP BEYONCE !!!!!!!! U NEED TO GO WASH UR ASS AND GET A JOB H** . I’M MAKING MORE MONEY THAN U . I WOULD RATHER STAN FOR A ICON THAN A COPYCAT FLOP LIKE BEYONCE ANY DAY!

Keri ran the board and S*** have me crying with ,,,,I know you copied and paste because nobody believe you wrote all of that,,,,LMAO
its about time jlo will be performing, her cd is actually really really good, she needs to do more live promotion for it other then those fiat commercials…on the floor has been done to many times, she needs to do *papi* with some killer dance moves and maybe throw in hypnotico as an opener…do any of the other performers even have any new cds out? or singles???
PLEASE ADD KELLY ROWLAND ANYONE WHO SEES THIS KELLY ROWLAND KELLY ROWLAND SHE NEED TO HIT THE STAGE AND SLAY ALL THEM SHE’s GOT A LOT TO GIVE THAT’s THE ONLY REASON I WOULD WATCH THIS SHOW I WILL CALL OUT FOR WORK JUST TO BE IN FRONT OF THE TV FOR HER PERFORMANCE.. #justasupporter subscriber to my youtube channel RashadAlon09 thanks
QueLoco
u r so right jlo needs to do more ,,,, look im a big fan
of jlo an i can say im very proud of love cd .
the love cd is realy good better than brave better than rebirth …….
she should do papi with hypnotico
I’m looking forward to seeing Katy Perry & Christina. Everyone else…yawn. Usher needs to sit down somewhere. He performs the same songs @ every event. Hopefully Nicki brings it cuz I’m rapidly losing interest in her.
We want Chris Brown, We want Chris Brown, We want Chris Brown!!!!!!!!!!
WE WANT ADAM LAMBERT!!!!!
Yes I agree! Adam Lambert!
I’m holding my breath and crossing EVERYTHING, including my labia, that Adam Lambert will be on as rumored.
Adam Lambert, the best singer ever!!!
Hope Adam Lambert can perform! He’s beyond amazing!
Hope Adam Lambert can perform! He’s beyond amazing! Yes he is!
All though some of these people are talented, they are all so boring, expecially, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, and Katy Perry. The only way I’ll watch is if Adam Lambert is performing.
Hope they bring Adam Lambert back
I hope Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera will perform together. Just Hoping!
Out of all mentioned Im excited to see Xtina!!!
Let’s bring in some new blood, not the same old boring peeps. Looking forward to Xtina (that gurl is amazing). I like Nicki too. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Justin Biebier, JLo, Usher – all boring zzzzzz. How about some Adele, Foster the People, Adam Lambert, Maroon 5, Foo Fighters, etc. Bring in the artists that we have not seen for a while; not the same old ones again.
So they need KELLY ROWlLAND to be one this award show and sing LAY IT ON ME….i will watch that
