Pink stole the show at the 2012 American Music Awards! Pink recreated the dance she does in the “Try” video and it was absolutely gorgeous. Best of all, she sang live during the physically demanding routine.

Nicki Minaj and her adult diaper. Taylor Swift showing off some sass. Carly Rae Jepsen and her lackluster version of “This Kiss.” Usher and his amazing dance moves. Um, Christina Aguilera.
