Justin Bieber was the big winner of the evening at the American Music Awards last night, taking home four accolades including Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, Favorite Album and Breakthrough Artist of the Year during the ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
Accepting the Artist of the Year honor, the 16-year-old star thanked his mentor Usher and invited him to join him on stage.
He said: "I really was embraced by a man named Usher Raymond. It would be only right if I invited him up here to share it with me."
Usher picked up two gongs himself, Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist and Favorite Soul/R&B Album, while rapper Eminem walked away with statuettes for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album.
Other winners at the 38th annual ceremony included country stars Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley; British rock band Muse, R&B singer Rihanna and Colombian pop star Shakira.
Michael Buble was heard shouted “I love winning things’’ when he picked up the Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist award.
Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kid Rock and Bon Jovi all performed at the ceremony, and boy bands New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys joined up for their first collaborative live stage effort before they kick off a joint American tour next year.
Pink -- who announced last week she is pregnant with her first child -- did not allow her pregnancy to slow her down putting on an energetic dance routine to perform new song "Raise Your Glass."
