Justin Bieber wins AMA Artist of the Year

Justin Bieber’s first “American Music Awards” was perfection. The 16-year-old teen heartthrob went four-for-four on Sunday night, capturing every award he was nominated for, including the top award of the night, favorite artist. He beat a list that featured veterans Eminem & Usher as well as Katy Perry & Lady Gaga.

Bieber became the youngest person to ever win the trophy. Bieber also won favorite pop/rock album, favorite pop/rock male & the show’s breakthrough artist award.

“I can not stop smiling – this is amazing,” Bieber said after he also beat Eminem and Usher for favorite pop/rock male. “Truly I don’t know how this is possible because I’ve been singing Eminem since I was three and Usher is my mentor… So this is big!”

Eminem, along with Lady Antebellum, had been the leading nominee with five awards. He didn’t come up empty handed though, winning two, along with Usher, who also nabbed a pair. Lady Antebellum took home one.
