the american music awards: then and now

The American Music Awards last night spent some time reminiscing on "the good ol' days" throughout the show, but now it's time to see more. I wanted to compare last night's sights with those of the past.

Boy band performances... NSYNC in 2000 vs. The Wanted in 2012

Dirrty Christina in 2003 vs. last night

Cyndi Lauper in 1985 and 2012

Gloria Estefan rockin the stage in 1988, and the carpet in 2012.

Rappers on the red carpet... Snoop Dogg in 1998 and Luda returning in 2012

Jenny McCarthy co-hosted the show in 2003! And molested Justin Bieber last night.

In 1992, Boys II Men won the R&B/Soul award... while Usher [drunkenly] accepted it last night.

In 2003, Pink took the stage with an acoustic version of "Trouble..."

And last night she killed it with her "Try" performance...

And just for fun, here's what Britney Spears looked like in 2003, just two years after rocking that denim look with Justin Timberlake.

Last night's show was pretty good, I'm not going to act like I hated it. I was a tweeting machine most of the night, so you can see how I felt about it there... 

Yay awards season! Judging people is fun.
