Among the other winners Black Eyed Peas and Taylor Swift, but the ceremony Sunday at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles was as much a showcase for acts with new albums like it was a celebration of the greatest performers of 2010.
Rihanna, with her hair dyed a red ruby, gave the show a beginning colorful and sexy, perform a medley of songs from her latest album just released "Loud", whose No. 1 hit "What's My Name" wearing a bra and what looked like a scarf wrapped around his back.
"It's unbelievable," said an exuberant Rihanna, who danced on stage later to receive her award - Favorite Soul / R & B female She ended her speech by shouting "Wassup! Thank you! "
The Black Eyed Peas, winners for favorite pop / rock /, gave a performance in levitation, the singing of boxes at the top of the stage during part of their performance of their new single, "Le Temps".
But few of the prime-time performances were given to acts that are not named, but had albums to promote. latest incarnation with the band Diddy Diddy-Dirty Money sang material from their forthcoming album, while Kid Rock gave a stirring acoustic performance of "Times Like These", the song by raising his hometown of Detroit during his recent economic struggles, his new CD, "Born Free".

Swift later performed his new single "Back in December," a song she also played on the CMA award earlier this month, but things mixed by integrating some OneRepublic's "Too Late to apologize."
Ke $ ha, perhaps trying to make up for the absent Lady Gaga, had the oddest performances of the night she performed her very Self-Tuned hit "Take It Off" like something out of space with beams of light to the eyes and sporting a motorcycle helmet. She then removed a mirror held, segueing into the next song with a pack of dancers dressed as her, with blonde wig and fishnet stockings.
