The American Music Awards are back after a three year hiatus with Jennifer Lopez at the helm.
The AMAs is the world’s largest fan-voted award show honoring today’s most influential artists. This Memorial Day, the awards show will honor the U.S. troops and veterans with performances and tributes throughout the show.
Created by legendary producer Dick Clark in 1974, the AMAs have delivered iconic performances, looks and speeches for 50 years. Last October CBS aired the “American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special,” celebrating the awards show’s impact on pop culture.
