Pitbull is proving to be the host with the most…
The 33-year-old Cuban American rap superstar, who is launching his own Sirius XM channel, has been named the host of the American Music Awards for a second straight year.
Hosting has become a nice side career for Pitbull, who also has a New Year’s Eve show on Fox.
Like last year, Pitbull will also perform a song from his new album at the 2014 AMAs, which will air live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on November 23.
Enrique Iglesias has a chance to extend his Favorite Latin Artist lead…
The 39-year-old Spanish singer-songwriter has earned an American Music Awards nomination for Favorite Latin Artist, his tenth nod in the category since its creation in 1998.
Iglesias, who has won the AMA award five times in his career, has earned major praise from fans and critics alike for his latest single “Bailando.”
The single has been No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart for more than 20 weeks, and it even reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Songs chart.
Iglesias will face off against Marc Anthony, a two-time winner in the category, and Romeo Santos.
The American Music Awards will be broadcast live from L.A. Live‘s Nokia Theatre on Sunday, November 23 from 8-11 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
Voting begins Monday in all categories except New Artist of the Year on AMAvote.com and via Twitter by tweeting the nominee’s name, category and #AMAs hashtag. Voting for the New Artist of the Year opens November 1 and closes in the first hour of the November 23 live telecast.
