I agree with the list but Rihanna delivered amazing vocals and I think the performance was very well done, top 10 at LEAST imo. I gained a lot of respect for her.
And the fact that everyone is stanning for Xtina's performance basically shows how LOW we set our standards for her, because the performance was just OK. The song is great though, I'll give her that.
RiRi won the Icon Award (bizarrely presented by Bill Maher) for her many years of hard service singing songs other people wrote and posting photos of behind on Instagram. But her underwhelming performance of the year-old (Sia-penned) single "Diamonds" didn't shine all that bright.
How refreshing! An AMAs performer who didn't have to rely on a backing track, yards of exposed skin, or any gimmicky staging to make an impression. This mega-talented Favorite New Artist-winner simply sang — and kept it classy — and she managed to upstage all of the night's pop tarts in the process.
The only thing they did not lie about. The rest they stretch it a BIT.

Somehow Miss Fenty managed to be totally upstaged by her own mother, who made a cute cameo onstage and was later described as "adorable" by Justin Timberlake.
