Adam Lambert Pictures: American Music Awards 2011 Red Carpet Photos, Pics
Adam Lambert Pictures: Adam Lambert arrives on the red carpet at the 2011 American Music Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on November 20, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.
The American Music Awards were created by Dick Clark in 1973 to compete with the Grammys after the move of that year's show to Nashville, Tennessee led to CBS picking up the Grammy telecasts after its first two in 1971 and 1972 were broadcast on ABC. Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond co-hosted the first AMAs show with Rodney Allen Rippy and Ricky Segall in 1974.
