The 2012 American Music Awards brought out the best in music, but that doesn't mean it brought out a highlight reel for fashion. There were as many disasters and masterpieces on the red carpet, and some of them really surprised us.
Based on their individual track records, Carly Rae Jepsen, Nicki Minaj and Kesha seem like surprising contenders for the best dressed gals at the 2012 American Music Awards, but hot diggity damn -- just look at them!
Randy Jackson took the stage to announce the 2012 American Music Awards' next performer, and it was wildly appropriate.
