This year's performers will include Kurt Hugo Schneider, Jabbawockeez, Jesse McCartney and Fifth Harmony. Live coverage will stream online for fans worldwide starting at 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT on November 24th and for the first time will be available on Yahoo.com, this year's official digital distributor of the American Music Awards Experience. The Stream can also be watched at TheAMAs.com, ABC.com, Time Warner Cable's Facebook page, and the websites within the Cumulus Radio Network, the AMAs official radio partner.

The "American Music Awards" are voted on by the fans. For the seventh year in a row, winners will be determined by online voting. Fans can vote at the Coca-Cola AMA voting site AMAvote.com. In addition, for the first time in AMAs History, fans will also be able to vote for their favorite artists via Twitter.

Comprised of Tyler Hubbard (Monroe, Georgia) and Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, Florida), Florida Georgia Line has skyrocketed since releasing consecutive, multi-week #1 smashes in the US and Canada with the GOLD-certified "Round Here," PLATINUM-certified "Get Your Shine On" and 6X PLATINUM "Cruise." FGL is the only artist in history to join Brooks & Dunn in having their first three singles hit #1 for multiple weeks each and their new emotionally-fueled single, "Stay," is poised to follow in the success. On 11/25, FGL will release HERE'S TO THE GOOD TIMES...THIS IS HOW WE ROLL, a deluxe version of their chart-topping, PLATINUM-certified debut on Republic Nashville. Garnering buzz among fans, media and several Superstars across genres - including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Ed Sheeran - the hot newcomers have taken home ACM and CMT Music Awards and garnered multiple TEEN CHOICE nominations. They are currently nominated for their first-ever AMA and CMA Awards, scoring spots in four categories at each. FGL is currently on their first headline run, HERE'S TO THE GOOD TIMES TOUR 2013, breaking venue sales records nationwide with sold-out shows on all stops to date.

One Direction - Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson formed in 2010 and have since amassed a loyal fan base and fame all across the globe. With two albums to date, Up All Night and TAKE ME HOME, they have impressively sold over 32 million records worldwide and have achieved a total of 61 number ones. It's been an incredible year for One Direction, as they took home a BRIT Award, 3 Billboard Music Awards, 6 Teen Choice Awards and received a moonman for Best Song Of The Summer at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. This Summer, One Direction made their movie debut with their massive hit 3D concert movie and documentary "One Direction: This Is Us." The film has been a phenomenal success, topping the UK and US box offices and grossing an incredible $67 Million worldwide. The band will release their third studio album MIDNIGHT MEMORIES on November 25th, which includes the worldwide SMASH hit "Best Song Ever" and the upcoming single "Story Of My Life."

Viewers will also get a second-screen experience jam-packed with "snack-able" videos, photos, GIFs, memes, "Insta-Fashion Pops", "Thank You Cam" shout outs, and much more across every major social platform.

In collaboration with Twitter, Twitter Mirrors will be placed in select backstage areas. The "selfie stations" will provide a candid look into the backstage scene. Also this year, the AMAs and Twitter will debut the first-ever VINE 360 FASHION BOOTH placed right in The Middle of the red carpet. Fashion buffs around the world will have a front row seat to an unparalleled close look at celebrity red carpet fashion - in REAL TIME.

In addition, we are inviting some of the AMA Nominee's biggest Super Fans as top music, fashion, and entertainment social media influencer/super stars to cover the event LIVE! They will have access to exclusive content that viewers will only be able to get from them.
