Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber made a big haul last night at the American Music Awards, taking home four trophies in a major sweep: Favorite Pop Album for My World 2.o, Breakthrough Artist, Favorite Pop Male Artist and the biggest honor of the night … Artist of the Year.
Fame has come quickly for Biebs, with his first single hitting the charts a short 18 months ago. What does a 16-year-old say when accepting an award? “I want to thank Michael Jackson because without Michael Jackson, none of us would be here.”
The youngest musician ever to take home Artist of the Year honors, asked his mentor Usher to join him on stage. He beat out Ke$ha, Eminem, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
Watch Justin get serious while he performs Pray in the video below:
