Rap-Up.com || Drake Makes ‘Headlines’ on the AMAs [Video]

Drake brought some swagger to the American Music Awards. The Toronto rapper, introduced by John Legend, fronted a live band during “Headlines,” the lead single from his hot-selling album Take Care. Clad in a black hoodie and biker gloves, Drizzy delivered a clean version of the hit as red lights flashed behind him. Some of his famous fans including Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez were seen rapping along in the front row.

@Tony, thats bc he cant sing. he is a studio singer, his words. but even that isnt that great compared to real singers. but he never sings live n wit an album full of singing n rnb style music, what the hell he gonna do? ja rule his whole performaces?

@AmbeRussell, First of all it’s hard to make the transition to rapping to singing live he’s not really singing it he’s just rapping the words in a melodic way. Second of all he has sung live plenty of times and very well most of the time. Get your facts straight.

Drake brought it with this live version, the band was on point. I do wish he’d not rap his singing parts live, I know he sings at his shows (Kanye Shrug), and I’m glad this dude finally cut his hair that rugged sh*t was annoying to look at
