Justin Bieber is a lucky kid with his hands full. The young heartthrob emerged the big winner at the American Music Awards (AMAs) last night and took home four trophies, including Artist of the Year. The 16-year-old also proved on the same stage that success has still not gotten into his head, when he thanked his mentor Usher and invited him to join him on stage as he accepted the Artist of the Year honor.
Contactmusic reports,
Justin Bieber became the youngest person ever to win the Artist of the Year prize at the American Music Awards (AMAs) last night (21.11.10). The ‘Pray’ hitmaker was the big winner of the evening, taking home four accolades including Favourite Pop/Rock Male Artist, Favourite Album and Breakthrough Artist of the Year during the ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Accepting the Artist of the Year honour, the 16-year-old star thanked his mentor Usher and invited the ‘OMG’ singer to join him on stage. He said: “I really was embraced by a man named Usher Raymond. It would be only right if I invited him up here to share it with me.”
