Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj are double award winners at the 40th annual American Music Awards Sunday night in Los Angeles.
Bieber won the first award of the night - favorite pop/rock male artist - and he accepted with the comment: "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."
When he returned to the stage to claim his award for favorite pop/rock album (for his "Believe"), he corrected what he saw as an oversight and thanked his long-time mentor, Usher, among others.
Minaj won the awards for favorite rap/hip hop album (for "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded") and favorite rap/hip hop artist.America proved its Bieber Fever was strong: The teen singer dominated the American Music Awards on Sunday night.
Bieber's wins included the show's top award, artist of the year.
The singer's mom joined him onstage as he collected the top award.
He looked to his mom: "I wanted to thank you for always believing in me."
He said it's "hard growing up with everyone watching me" and asked that people continue to believe in him. There was a lot of fire and fiery moments at AMAs but while some burned high and bright others went up in smoke, take a look at our best and worst of the night. Best & Worst: Usher's opening performance. The singer is always a tight dancer but he seems to have sacrificed his voice in the name of dance.
