Best: Demi Lovato Gets 'Confident'
Lovato showed moxie while performing the title track last night, channeling the sass of Chicago's Velma Kelly while holding the gothic, carnivalesque vibes of Marilyn Manson's "mOBSCENE" and the shadow-building light wall of Nine Inch Nails' recent tour.

Also, those suiters shouldn't mix suspenders, Hammer pants, bad voguing and one tiny top-bun.

Best of the Night: Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas treated his AMA slot like an audition, an opportunity to convince the world that he's ready for even bigger stardom. Unassumingly hunky in his layered dress hoodie, the singer zipped through his three solo hits, using each to spotlight a facet of his talent as a performer.
