Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Usher added as performers at American Music Awards

The 2012 American Music Awards will have a bout of Bieber Fever, don't you worry. Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Usher and No Doubt have been added as performers at the annual televised music event.
The pop crew join previously announced acts like Taylor Swift, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Pitbull, Linkin Park, Carrie Underswood and Nicki Minaj.
One name that feels like it's missing so far is Rihanna, who shares the lead in nominations with Minaj; they both have four nods a piece. Other artists to receive more than one nomination include Drake, Bieber, Maroon 5, One Direction, Usher, Underwood and Pitbull. We're seeing a trend.
The show is broadcast on ABC on Nov. 18 starting at 8 p.m. EST/PST. This year will include a new category for Electronic Dance Music, with potential honorees David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Skrillex. A live online pre-show will feature host Lance Bass plus Kimberly Cole, Brad Goreski, Sean Kingston, Eden Sher and Tristan Wilds.
The public can now purchase tickets via Ticketmaster, and the awards are handed out based on the AMAs' online voting system. You can cast your ballot (not the presidential ballot, silly) at amavote.com.

November 5, 2012 at 7:23PM EST Reply to CommentWHOHOOOOOOOOOO!!! So glad Biebz is performing!
..There are SO many amazing songs on the album, I'm not sure which one I want him to perform!
..I love As Long As You Love Me, but we've seen him perform that.....I want him to bring it down slow and perform FALL, or EVERYTHING GONNA BE ALRIGHT....But I reeeally want him to perform Beauty and a Beat..DEFINITELY, .....but DIE In Your ARMS would be AMAZING too, with him wearing the Michael Jackson fedora hat...OOH! That would be sooo cool!..
...or maybe 'TAKE YOU' because it has a tight dance choreo to it...or maybe he can take it old school and sing One Less Lonely Girl and have Rhianna come out and sit for him....SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!! SO EXCITED! EEEEEEEE!!!
