There was a lot of fire and fiery moments at AMAs but while some burned high and bright others went up in smoke, take a look at our best and worst of the night. Best & Worst: Usher's opening performance. The singer is always a tight dancer but he seems to have sacrificed his voice in the name of dance.

Worst: Justin Bieber dedicating his 'Pop/Rock Male' award to all the haters didn't rub our Twitter followers too well. Stay positive, Bieber, the haters aren't worth acknowledging!

BEST: No Doubt perform 'Looking Hot.' No Doubt rises above the controversy with this performance plus Gwen Stefani made our jaws drop she was that alarmingly beautiful onstage.

-
BEST: Taylor Swift gets really real with a sexy masquerade ball for her performance of "I Knew You Were Trouble." The Best Country Female Act award winner transforms from a sweet girl to a darker, vampy vixen. This is a side Taylor we want to see more often!

WORST: Nicki Minaj may have pulled out all stops with a posh ski bunny to perform 'Freedom' with a gospel choir but all we wanted something with more umph. She did deliver for three seconds during her part in Justin Bieber's 'Beauty and the Beat'

BEST: Pink reenacts the ultra impressive and stunningly beautiful dance sequence from her music video 'Try.'

WORST: We could have done with Justin Bieber's acoustic performance of "As Long As You Love Me" before the ultra-hyped up and way more exciting 'Beauty and the Beat.'

-
BEST: Christina Aguilera put on a parade to celebrate equality for her performance at the AMAs. From the hula hooping golden boy to the drag queens to the multi-colored curvy girls, we couldn't get enough of it!

WORST: Jenny McCarthy makes Justin Bieber feel violated when he accepted his award for Pop/Rock Album.

BEST: Carrie Underwood performance of "Two Black Cadillacs" may have not been the most flashy but with pipes and energy like hers who needs fancy stage productions?

-
WORST: Chris Brown seems to either be allergic to shirts or was so ashamed of his scrubby look compared to his collaborators Swizz Beats and Ludacris during their "Everyday Birthday" performance he had to strip. No matter what the reason, we just rolled our eyes at this one.

WORST: We were so angry when Christina Aguilera joined Pitbull on stage for their duet "Feel This Moment" was cut short after one verse!

-
WORST: Pitbull's performance of "Don't Stop the Party" was as boring as a dead fish compared to the magic he had at the Latin Grammys earlier in the week.

-
BEST: When PSY came on stage with giant parachute pants to sing 'Gangnam Style' we thought something was amiss but it all came together gloriously when MC Hammer showed up to mashup the K-Pop star's hit with his own classic "2 Legit 2 Quit." It was weird and nonsensical but we loved it!
