The annual American Music Awards or AMAs will be broadcast on Sunday at the Microsoft Theatre and we are excited to provide you a little teaser on what can be expected at the much-awaited award show, which will be hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross.

The AMAs has been known for its series of star-studded production numbers and this year, we are in for a marvelous "pop" treat! Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and Niall Horan are set to perform their signature singles this year as well was Lady Gaga, Nick Jonas, and Canadian superstar, Shawn Mendes. Christina Aguilera will be doing a special tribute on the late Whitney Houston.

Nominations for this year shouldn't really surprise us. Bruno Mars, with his hit album, is leading with eight nominations followed by Drake and Ed Sheeran with five. Among this year's candidates also include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and The Chainsmokers.
