Ciara doesn't go IN like she used to
True but she doesn?t have to. Who else, besides the legends, is giving 10% of what she gives on stage?
What kind of an excuse is that
Bitch get out my way

I?m not going any fucking where. Just because she doesn?t give what she?s given in the past doesn?t make it any less of a good performance.

From what Ive seen so far from the Ci tea; it looks like she fckn SLAYED

But I do hear the comments on here about something being slightly off or not like she use to be and I agree--it may just be age. Or the bbys

Ciara definitely had the best performance of the night. Nobody is performing like that anymore. Except for Bey and Mani. Cardi was cute. All the distractions worked for her.

2018 American Music Awards Performances Ranked

This year's American Music Awards delivered a fantastic spectrum of live performances, ranging from diva-house medleys to thrashing alt-rock rave-ups to gospel tributes to recently passed icons. Star power was on display from established icons and exciting up-and-comers, and one particular comeback performance felt like a new career peak for a still-young breakout artist.

Read on below to see how Billboard ranked the 15 performances on the evening, counting down to our favorite performance of the night.

Quote
1. Cardi B feat. J Balvin & Bad Bunny, "I Like It"

Featuring a live horn section and both the most glamorous costuming and intricate staging of any televised Cardi B performance to date, "I Like It" at the AMAs was major even before Bad Bunny was wheeled in for his verse in a grocery cart. Reaching near-Cirque du Soleil levels of spectacle -- or, dare we say it, near-Beyonc? -- by the end of J Balvin's turn the performance was fully worthy of a pop star with three Hot 100 No. 1s to her name already -- and it shows that giving birth to her first child hasn't slowed down Cardi's momentum one bit.

Quote
2. Taylor Swift, "I Did Something Bad"

Pretty big flex to open an award show with your album's fifth single -- if you even decide to officially release it -- but as a culmination of a year in which Taylor Swift has been responsible for one of the biggest albums, one of the biggest tours, and one of the biggest voter-registration spikes, it seems well-earned enough. Anyway, her "I Did Something Bad" was appropriately massive, with brilliantly deliberate pacing, a perfect pause-for-effect after her ?If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing? lyric, and the best awards show use of a massive snake since Britney Spears in in 2001.

3. Gladys Knight, Donnie McClurkins, CeCe Winans, Ledisi & Mary Mary, Aretha Franklin tribute

For an Aretha Franklin tribute at the American Music Awards -- a show where Aretha had extensive history as a host, performer, and winner -- you'd expect them to go heavy on the hits. But the AMAs took a different tack with their tribute, getting some of the greatest soul and gospel performers from Franklin's lifetime to deliver renditions of hymns that Aretha had delivered signature interpretations of, including several from her best-selling 1972 live gospel album, Amazing Grace. Not a performance for the casual fans, but the passion and vocal talent on display was absolutely undeniable, and Aretha herself undoubtedly would've loved it -- though she'd also be furious she couldn't join in herself.

Quote
6. Ciara feat. Missy Elliott, "Level Up" / "Dose"

One of the most frenetic hits of 2018 somehow even sounded even more pulse-racing in its AMAs performance, Ciara and Missy performing like an LP being played at 45 RPM. A necessary jolt of energy for an award show's third hour, and impossible not to smile at either the brief dip into Trillville's crunk classic "Neva Eva," or the reaction shot of Missy's "funky white sister" Mary Halsey in the audience.

Quote
11. Mariah Carey, "With You"

Is that all part of the same dress? Apparently not, as about a dozen backup dancers sprouted from the sprawling train of Mariah Carey's scarlet gown to gyrate around her while the stationary R&B legend belted out her new mid-tempo single "With You." Inspired staging for a performance that allowed Mariah to concentrate on her vocals while others worked up a sweat on her behalf -- though "With You" as a song just isn't the most dynamic of numbers for an awards show performance.
