To sum up this year's American Music Awards, Bieber got all acoustic-y on us, Ke$ha got all '80s acid zombie on us, and then there was this weird Whitney Houston/Chris Brown transition which was just...awkward. As far as AMA red carpet style goes, let 2012 be forever known as "The Year of Tame" (read: kind of boring). Where were J. Lo's multiple ensemble changes? Why oh why didn't Beiber show up with a scantily clad lingerie model (like we'd hoped he would). Perhaps chic expectations for the evening teetered somewhere between soap opera and the Grammy Awards. Ah, well. There were highs, there were lows, and then there were basement-level lows. Peep the steeze below…
