America proved its Bieber Fever was strong: The teen singer dominated the American Music Awards on Sunday night.

Bieber’s wins included the show’s top award, artist of the year. The singer’s mom joined him onstage as he collected the top award. He looked to his mom: “I wanted to thank you for always believing in me.”

He said it’s “hard growing up with everyone watching me” and asked that people continue to believe in him.

The 18-year-old also won favorite pop/rock album for Believe, and male artist.

He performed two songs at the award show, one stripped and another upbeat with Nicki Minaj. As Bieber won his second award, he was kissed on the neck by Jenny McCarthy, who presented the award.

Here is a full list of the winners:  READ FULL STORY »

See a video of 13-year-old Shakira singing 'Magia'

If you had access to a time machine, would you A) go back to 1980 and buy a bunch of Apple shares, B) inadvertently seduce your mother and sort of invent rock ‘n’ roll, or C) catch a glimpse of 13-year-old Shakira performing her first single?

If you went with option Shakira, then you might be Perez Hilton, who dug up a video of just that. The vintage clip features the now-35-year-old Colombian pop star singing “Magia,” which the dedicated can find on her out-of-print 1991 album of the same name. Enjoy:

Latin Grammys: Calle 13 cleans up, Demi Lovato gets revealing

Last night in Las Vegas, the Latino music community gathered together at the Mandalay Bay Events Center for the 12th annual Latin Grammy Awards. Though the word “Grammys” is in there, the Latin Grammys tends to be a way looser show than its counterpart.

They’re a lot more diverse too: The big winners during last night’s show were Puerto Rican hip-hop collective Calle 13, who walked away with nine prizes (out of 10 total nominations) tied to their fourth album Entren Los Que Quieran. In fact, the only thing that kept them from scoring a clean sweep on their nominations was the fact that they were nominated twice in the same category.

The rest of the show, which aired on Univision and almost certainly clobbered that truly atrocious episode of The Office in the ratings, was a healthy mix of crossover performers and acts like Calle 13 who seem one big English-language single away from a massive break.

Shakira took home two awards (for Person of the Year and for Best Female Pop Album) and also performed a trio of tunes in the evening’s liveliest performances. Pitbull and Marc Anthony re-created their hit “Rain Over Me,” with Pit dropping some of the evening’s few English verses on stage.

However, the evening’s most eye-popping performance might have belonged to Demi Lovato. While the newly red-haired pop star did actually sing on stage, she did most of her head-turning on the red carpet, where she wore a pantsuit the completely redefined the idea of a plunging neckline. That’s an awful lot of cleavage, even for Las Vegas.

Shakira gets sexy (when doesn't she?) and pole dances in 'Rabiosa' video: Watch here

Can’t say I literally understand what Shakira’s saying on her new single, “Rabiosa.”

But whatever’s coming between her sensual coos and the moves she’s pulling off in its video (“Come, pull me closer,” I hear) is okay with me.

After taking dips in a bathtub-turned-ball-pit at a party, she hits the pole—and sheds the wig she’s been using to hide her signature blonde mane—on this Latin-infused reggaeton track. Of course, the results are worth a look (or seven).

Check out the video for “Rabiosa” after the jump.

Shakira sings 2010 World Cup Anthem 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)': Hear it here

Tags:

Soccer and Shakira have lots in common. Well, one thing, at least: Once far more popular outside the U.S. than in, the singer and the sport have both gone on to raise their respective profiles in our fair nation. (Just go with it.) So it makes perfect sense, sort of, that Shakira was selected to sing the official anthem of the 2010 World Cup.

According to Billboard, Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” is a collaboration with South African group Freshlyground. The hooks here are nowhere near as indelible or inventive as those on last year’s awesome She Wolf, but they’ll do.

Check out a helpfully subtitled video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” after the jump and let us know what you think. Clip is via Vulture, which makes an inevitable joke about “O Let’s Do It” rapper Waka Flocka Flame. I’ll be honest, when I saw the title of this song I, too, hoped Waka Flocka might drop a verse on “Waka Waka.” Maybe on the remix? READ FULL STORY »

Eminem, Beatles, Shakira top decade-end sales list

Who wins the record-sale wars of the ’00s? The battle comes down to the Real Slim Shady, the Fab Four, and a perhaps less fab boy-band fivesome.

According to Nielsen SoundScan (via USA Today), Eminem garners the top overall prize for album sales over the last ten years with 32.2 million copies sold, despite having a five-year gap in studio albums between 2004′s Encore and this year’s Relapse.

The Beatles, however, come in a close second with 30 million, and earn the single-album ticket to ride; their greatest-hits compilation 1, released in 2000, sold 11.5 million, edging out ‘N Sync’s No Strings Attached from that same year by a mere 400,000. (The latter sold 2.4 million in its first seven days, still a SoundScan record.) Norah Jones’ 2002 debut Come Away With Me wins the bronze, taking third place with 10.5 million.

As for digital music? Shakira “Hips Don’t Lie” is the decade’s most-streamed track by nearly double numbers, with 85.3 million online plays, followed by Kelly Clarkson’s “Because of You,” at 43.5 million, and Chris Brown’s “Run It!”

Cross-format rock and country rule the Aughties’ radio-play records, however; Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” was the most spun, followed by Train’s “Drops of Jupiter,” Lifehouse’s “Hanging by a Moment,” two Faith Hill songs (“Breathe,” “The Way You Love Me”), 3 Doors Down’s “Kryptonite,” and Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance.”

Readers, who were your artists of the decade? And who did you forget even belonged to this decade? Don’t Lie.

Shakira video feat. Lil Wayne, 'Give It Up to Me': Shak goes fly girl

La Loba, she makes a lot of videos. Only days after the premiere of She Wolf‘s latest clip, the bedroom Cirque du Soleil/steamroom romp “Did It Again,” Shakira’s back with the Weezy pair-up “Give It Up to Me”:

I’m kind of feeling the whole early ’90s round-the-way-girl fashion vibes, plus classic C+C Music Factory dance moves (group caterpillar at 1:19, win!); less sure about the page ripped from Madonna’s “yay India” Kali goddess phase. Overall, I likey, but maybe no lovey; a solid B+. Disagree? Give it up to the comments section below.
