Some rubbing, booty slapping and twerking ...but Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea keep it fairly tame for their AMAs performance

They had ABC executives nervous about whether they'd cross the line with their performance of Booty.

But they needn't have worried as Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea kept their reenactment of their raunchy video pretty tame on Sunday when they took to the stage at the American Music Awards.

Jennifer, 45, kicked off the show in a sparkling tuxedo-style bodysuit showing off some impressive moves and incredible flexibility.

Much like in the video for Booty, the pop diva displayed wet hair but was missing the body oil.

Before being joined onstage by Aussie rapper Iggy, Jennifer whipped off her black and white costume to reveal a sparking red bodysuit.

Iggy, 24, appeared in a lower party of the stage in a gold halterneck bodysuit with her blonde locks tied up in a thick bushy ponytail.

The duo then joined each other for some twerking and grinding, at one point back-to-back and rubbing up against each other with their pert derrieres.

J-Lo spanked her younger counterpart several times but that's as naughty as it got for the stars as Iggy then vacated the stage.

The Waiting For Tonight singer donned a sparkling jacket for the remainder of her performance - giving an impressive solo dance set, wowing the crowd with her nimble footwork.

According to TMZ head honchos at ABC had set some ground rules for what was acceptable for the ladies' performance. 

In their music video for Booty, which gained 11 million views in just 24 hours, the two artists rubbed their famous behinds up against each other while wearing high-cut swimsuits and wet-look hair.

The song is part of Jennifer's A.K.A. album, which was released in June and opened to first week US sales of 33,000.

J-Lo, who failed to get an AMA nomination, rehearsed for weeks before she took to the stage with Iggy, who herself was up for six awards.

The Fancy hitmaker lead the nominations for the annual ceremony with nods including Artist Of The Year, New Artist Of The Year and Single Of The Year.
