Most of the winners were not deserving of a win, except for Carrie Underwood, Usher, Lady Antebellun and Pink

People who really know music know he should have not won. Since he cannot sing live, he has no choice but to lipsync.Selena Gomez was right for leavng him, she realized he is really a loser and faker.

I’m happy for Justin and everything. I’m a directioner and would have enjoyed seeing the lads win, but that’s life. Sometimes people win, sometimes people loose. I still I’m proud of the boys and congratulate all of those who won.

when the ama allows bieber, springsteen and michael to be used in the same sentence, the awards have become a hugh joke. wtf? when did music become grabbing ur nutz while u lipsync something someone else wrote. maybe bieber deserves a dance award. congrats bieb on you ada tonight…

I am happiest for Justin Bieber winning the award this against One stupid Direction i felt like every beliber should be proud of themselves that they voted and i bet Justin is happy too. And also this too all those fake beliber who became directioners i hope your happy cause they just lost TWO awards HOW DO YOU FEEL i am just so happy :D and i feel like Chris Brown should have won not usher well i don’t hate Usher but feel like his songs are just getting weirder (not to say stupid so i said weird) and i like zayn from one direction but HARRY he is just so UGLLYYY like i dont know what you guys see but i will not judge -_- ok anyway i am just so happy :D I think i am done with what i have to say so i hope you all enjoy :)
- love Mary
