Jamie Foxx opened the American Music Awards with a powerful speech about all the darkness 2017 has seen.

"As this year comes to a close, we look forward to 2018 with hope. Together, our strength will pull us through," Foxx said.

The actor then introduced the show's openers, Pink and Kelly Clarkson, who continued the opening's theme together with a powerful rendition of "Everybody Hurts," likely referencing all the pain 2017 brought, with shootings in multiple cities, acts of terror, unprecedented natural disasters and allegations of sexual assault in Hollywood that have been brought to light.
