Bieber and Shawn Mendes performing on American Music Awards

Justin Bieber is such a "wigger." This was the worst opening I've ever seen. How is this even still on the air? I remember when Madonna and Michael Jackson opened this show. Now, it's just an embarassment.

Hard pass.

Who topped whom?

I prefer the non-white one.

He was great. Looked good in red skully and blue gingham

I adore Justin Bieber

R6, are you a Belieber?

I do not belieb in life after shawn.

Bieber can somewhat sing. He has a smidge of talent. Shawn cannot sing to save his life. But he plays guitar. So also smidge of talent. However, I am not interested in listening to their most likely terrible music. So I'll pass.

Awful. Justin looks like a homeless person just let in off the streets. Shawn looks like a granola hippy and should be playing hackysack with a Snapple in his hand.

Justin needs a bath and Shawn needs a haircut.

R9, do I smell a duo in the works? We can call the collaboration The Moody Bottoms. They won’t last long because they’d both prefer to have someone else take the lead. Their first single will be Pound My Hungry Heart. Their fanbase will still continue to consist of gays with bad taste in music and clueless female tweens.

Is this the only thread on the AMA awards? I can’t find a watch thread.

R11 Most of the show was just awful and a mess.

Nobody cares

Is it an all Canada exdition?

You're actually watching that crapola?

So Shawn traded in Selena for a boy?

Rolling Stone's IG posted images from the show. The performances were Bieber and Mendes, J. Lo, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and The Weeknd.

The video of the performance.

Hot

Nelly is so hot

I am so over stars complaining about how rough it has been for them to be idolized and made famous. If you don't like it disappear, you have the money, retire and move back to Canada and never be heard from again.

Just watched. Bieber is the best part of the performance, he can sing and has rhythm. Shawn struggles to reach notes and has no rhythm or groove, very awkward.

Bieber is getting too old for his fanbase. He's already married and once he starts having kids (I fear for that), he won't be young and sexy anymore. Like Chris Brown, he has not matured his sound at all and isn't growing musically. Drugs, untreated mental illness, all that pressure and also being spoiled rotten tend to stunt your maturity.
