The American Music Awards was the best AMA’s in about 10 years. A majority of the stars were on hand except for Beyonce and Taylor Swift. A couple years ago, almost every award winner was not there. Another year, the biggest act performing was the return of Motley Crue.
Lady Gaga did not disappoint but left the show empty-handed. Will the Grammys get it right? Kelly Clarkson belted out a tune. Carrie Underwood proclaimed her love for her “Cowboy Casanova” with a bevy of back-up dancers. Janet Jackson went through a medley of her hits surrounded by her new song “Make Me” and an outfit that did not complement her, but did not provide a Super Bowl moment.
A few random notes:
-Was Taylor Swift really in London via satellite or was it to make sure she would not be interrupted by Kanye? (I kid. I kid.)
-Why is no one talking about Green Day’s solid performance?
-How hot was Sofia Vergara?
-Adam Lambert. Wow or Ouch?
-Did you notice there was no host?
-Good job by American Music Award producers for editing Jennifer Lopez’s performance of a forgettable song by taking out her fall during her performance. By doing that, you brought attention to it, and provided a moment for us bloggers.
I had a problem with Michael Jackson being nominated for so many awards and winning. It was based on his older CD’s selling after his death. It just wasn’t fair for other artists to compete with that. Thankfully, it is no longer whoever sells more wins, because the only artist to sell more than MJ this year was Taylor Swift.
At the same time, by not doing a tribute, it cut down on Jermaine’s speech.
What did you all think of the American Music Award show?-Dr.FB
PS I will be adding more to this later as time permits.
