AceShowbiz - Luke Bryan took home the trophy for Favorite Male Country Artist at the 2014 American Music Awards on Sunday, November 23 . During his acceptance speech, the "Crash My Party" singer showed his humble side by thanking everyone from top to bottom.
"Thank you AMAs. Thanks for having me out here. It's amazing to be here in LA watching all this music," he told the audience, "I want to thank God above for letting me tour night in and night out on the road. I want to thank the fans... want to thank all my management - my booking agent Jay Williams - I always forget ya. All my guys out on the road. My band, my crew, my bus driver..."
Broadcast on ABC from Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre, the American Music Awards was hosted by Pitbull. The 33-year-old rapper began his monologue just after Taylor Swift's opening performance. During his monologue, he joked about President Obama's immigration address.
"You guys already know I'm Cuban, but you know America, not all Latinos are Mexican - maybe we are," he noted to the audience, before adding, "Now look at the crowd. We've got everybody here tonight: Black, white, Asian, Latinos-and guess what? President Obama says we can all stay! God Bless America!"
Pitbull also poked fun at hispanic-skewing ratings, saying, "ABC found out last year that when I spoke just three Spanish words, ratings went up 142 percent, so get ready for three hours of just subtitles!" After saying a few Spanish words, he laughed and said, "That's another four million viewers! ... I'm the captain of your ship, I'm your pilot and I'm three drinks in!"
