American Music Awards 2015- Predictions

The 43rd Annual American Music Awards are this Sunday! Media claims it will be a fun night of music, entertainment, and performances with host, Jennifer Lopez (I honestly don’t know how she has time for this with an upcoming TV show and a Las Vegas residency… Dang  JLo, you go girl.) Tune-in to ABC at 7 p.m. central time for the festival of celebrities.

We can expect performances from 5 Seconds of Summer, Justin Bieber, Coldplay (so excited about this), Luke Bryan feat. Karen Fairchild, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, a duet from Demi Lovato & Alanis Morissette, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, One Direction, a special performance of the Star Wars score from Pentatonix, Gwen Stefani, Meghan Trainor & Charlie Puth, Carrie Underwood, WALK THE MOON, and finally… The Weeknd.

I’m most excited to see Ariana Grande perform her new single Focus, as well as see Coldplay perform their new smash hit Adventure of A Lifetime… if only Adele would grace us with her presence but she’s busy doing Saturday Night Live this week. I guess that’s okay…sighhh. (But seriously so excited for SNL)

It was also announced today that Celine Dion will perform a tribute to Paris, so basically, make sure you have tissues on stand-by.

Below I’ve listed and the nominations along with my predictions for ‘Who I think will win’ and ‘Who I want to win.’ (Hint: Use the colors)
