News: Bieber and Minaj win music awards

Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj performed together - and separately - at the American Music Awards, as they were both double winners at the ceremony.
Eighteen-year-old Justin won favourite pop/rock male artist in the first award handed out on the night and gave a broadside to those who did not think he would last on the music scene.

"I want to say this is for all the haters who thought that I was just here for one or two years. I feel like I'm going to be here for a very long time," he said, also thanking his mother, manager, family and his "beautiful, beautiful fans".

Justin also won favourite pop/rock album for Believe. He gave a stripped down, acoustic performance of As Long As You Love Me, sitting down as someone played the guitar.

He transitioned to the dance-heavy Beauty And A Beat, where Nicki Minaj joined him onstage, grinding with the teen for a few seconds. Nicki repeated her AMAs wins from last year, picking up trophies for favourite rap/hip-hop artist and album for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
