The American Music Award show is scheduled for October 9, live on ABC, a celebration of great songs and the stars who either wrote or made them hits. On Wednesday, September 12 at YouTube Space LA, Ella Mai and Normani will announce this year’s nominees in a live YouTube reveal. Country star Kane Brown gets into the act by conducting a live stream of the announcement on the AMA’s YouTube channel the same day at 9am.
The American Music Awards live broadcast has provided a few memorable moments in live television, here are a few of our favs…
Who could forget Nicki Minaj’s lap dance in 2013? Lil Wayne got the surprise of his life when she offered the moment.
Wiz Khalifa earned a top AMA in earning the Top 100 song, “See You Again” and gracelessly greeted actor Aston Kutcher on stage, thanking everyone except the star he sang the song with, Charlie Puth!
Britney Spears in no stranger to controversy, but when straddling a giant guitar while belting out Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll” even the producers in the truck were embarrassed. She then did a lovely pole dance, making sure all the parents of viewers would remember the moment.
