AMAs: Justin Bieber Wins Big. Again.

This morning, the 40^th Annual American Music Awards 2012 swept your favourite mainstream artistes off their feet with a grand gala event held at Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles. You might remember the list of nominees that we put up a month ago here. But before we get into that, let’s talk about (or just watch and gawk at) the most epic performance of Psy’s “Oppa Gangnam Style” ever known to mankind. Why epic?

It features none other than old school American rapper, MC Hammer:
