EW has exclusively learned that rapper Eminem will perform at the American Music Awards, making him the latest addition to a line-up of previously announced acts that includes Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, The Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, and Adam Lambert. The news that Lady Gaga will also perform at the show leaked on Friday. More acts will be announced in the coming weeks, and there is no word yet about which songs these stars will sing.
The American Music Awards will air live from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday, Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. on ABC. As has been the case for the past two years, winners of the awards at the show will be determined by online voting.

AMA’s are useless nobody has really watched this show for years.
It was the #1 show for it’s time slot last year. Can’t wait for this years show. There’s some good performers.
Rob, stop being stupid.
Rob, who’s cares whether or not you watch it!
i hope beyonce going to perform she will kill it as always she is the best
eminem is so over.
RIHANNA IS PERFORMING TOO
Lady Gaga is performing Bad Romance, I love that song!
That’s a great performers list.
Britney’s addition to this line up would make this show a perfect one. maybe the best ever.
Yeah Britney lip synching will be amazing as always!
might watch because Kelly Clarkson-she is my favorite singer!
i have’nt watched this show in a while and when i do it usually is in ff motion on the tape player. i only watch the performers that i feel will be good. I fast forward through all the country western, all the outrageous rock and the boring acceptance speeches. it seems to be better that way. this show has’nt been interesting since the 80’s and i taped nearly all of those shows on VHS and watched a few. They are great and what fun to look back at that time in life. Now, snoozefest except for Kelly and I can’t wait to see Adam. Now that I will have to watch “live”. He is a phenom.
I definitely am sure Jennifer Lopez will predominate the performing segments. I just love her performing, soooo sexy and hot!!!
Eminem is so now!

Can’t wait to see Jennifer Lopez and Lady GaGa!
Why is it that the cheesy corny latino dudes (who always seem to get all the chicks btw) are soo into these gay cheesy ballads (just thinking out loud)
Sounds like a really good line-up. I’m definitely gonna watch. I can’t wait to see Jennifer Lopez!!!
Em’s amazing.
As for Adam Lambert one word EW!
Stop being a jackass!!! There are many people who love Adam reading this!
I’ll definitely be watching this year! I can’t wait to see what Adam Lambert and Lady GaGa come up with! Their talent and creativity is OTT awesome!
finally a reason to watch the Award show….Love Eminem….His new songs are soooo dark and scary…i like them in that sense though
lol..
Eminem’s album is the highest selling album of the year….he got the highest 1 week sales tooo……got named the artist of the decade…and Vibe’s Best rapper ever by public demand…
After all this , i guess you still think he is over
The Man Eminem, Hell yeah
“There they go, back in stadiums as Shady spits his flow
Nuts they go, macadamian and they go so balistic whoa
He can make them look like bozos hes wonderin if he should spit this slow
f*** no, go for broke, his cup just runneth over oh no
He aint had a buzz like this since the last time he overdosed
They’ve been waiting patiently for pinnochio to poke his nose
Back into the game and they know, rap will never be the same as before
Bashin into the brains of these hoes, and establishin a name as he goes
The passion and the flame is ignited, you cant put it out once we light it
This sh** is exactly what the f*** that I’m talking bout when we riot
You dealin with a few true villians
Whose staying inside of the booth truth spillin,
And spit true feelings until our tooth fillings
Come flying up out of our mouths now rewind it
Payback muthaf***a for the way that you got at me
Hows it taste? when I slap the taste
Out of your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place
I’m, hannibal lecter so just incase you was thinkin of savin face
You aint gonna have no face to save by the time I’m through with this place so Drake” Eminem .
this is to all you haters!!
I am sad that micheal jackson will not be there with him being honor with 5 awards it’s great he’ll win 5 of the awards and they will be given to his kids when they get older
michael jackson shouldnt be eligible for awards for the following reasons:
1) he was a chile molester
2)he has little if any new material out the warrants him for these honors
3) HE IS DEAD.
What was the name of the second song Eminem sang???
Crack a Bottle
