Blame Canada — they’re all over pop radio!
Two Canadians; namely Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen took over the American Music Awards last night with their wins.
Justin pretty much swept the show, taking home 3 of the trophies including the top honor, Artist of the Year. He brought his date onstage with him to take the final award of the night: his mother.
“I wanted to thank you for always believing in me”, he said to her with a smile.
In a shocker, Jepsen ended up taking the Best New Artist, although her first single was more one-hit wonder and her second is pretty lackluster at least to me.
You can check out Justin’s performance above; a medley of “As Long As You Love Me” and his current single, “Beauty And A Beat” with Nicki Minaj (who took home two awards herself).
Read on after the jump for the full list of winners.
