I think that the AMA’s, when comparing the VMA’s was a lot better. It was more organized, the performances were better (though I preferred Paparazzi live than Bad Romance live, but GaGa did good none the less), and the awards, even if some viewers didn’t like it, catered to all genres and all age groups. It was American.

Janet performance was definitely… blah. I like Janet. Some of my favorite albums in my complete collection of CD’s bought over the years are RN1814 and Velvet Rope. However, her performance was phoned in. She did well for the fact that she was 43, but still, it could have been a lot more polished.

I liked Alicia’s performance. Granted, it seems like I was the only one defending her on twitter, but the song was hot, and she switched it up. You can’t sit at a piano all the time.

Rihanna *sigh* she really does needs to work on her stage craft. Although her new CD is sonically competent, and is actually well-recieved by the critics and fans alike. She just seems like she has no pizazz or charisma. Hopefully before/if she goes on tour she should definitely step it up. Like 150 percent.

What the hell happened with Timbaland. Seriously, he and Tyson and can body doubles. He’s ill shaped. I guess steroid bloat will do that to you.

I’m kinda disappointed in Shakira. Her new CD just HAD to get a new song/single by Timbaland that wasn’t needed. The European/Asian/Latin American release of the album was perfect with no filler and straight chaser. Sony just couldn’t leave it alone and avoid her being called a Beyonce clone (which she is totally not)

Gloriana winning? I ain’t heard about them until last night. Even they acknowledge that shit themselves on stage. GaGa was def. the artist of the year.

Adam Lambert was def. out of bounds. The kissing the other guy on stage I had no problem with. But to actually grind your groin into another person’s face on national television was crude and inappropriate. Best believe if he had a bit more melanin in his skin it would have been a much bigger fallout.

J.LO fell on her ass. Just like that stupid song will when/or if it debuts on the 100. She’s forty, and plus rapping/singing/lipsynching about material goods in stupid anyway.

As far as Jay-Z being cocky? I don’t care. He is selling well and his numbers are great. 50 Cent had diarrhea of the mouth and debuted much lesser than expected. More power to Shawn.

As with the Michael Jackson/Taylor Swift debacle, I def. see your point. Michael Jackson, in all honesty would have gotten the award for just being…. Michael Jackson. I love him to death, but the gloved one hasn’t had a hit in a long, long time. I think the reason people are somewhat dismayed by Taylor is that Kanye’s tirade seemed to have worked in her favor, like “big black guy (Ye’ is 5′8 LOL) bullying little white girl” which he was wrong for, but still, let it go.

Im sorry but Adam Lamberts contrived debauchery did it for me, the desperation, the longing for distinction, it was like the Americam Idol auditions all over again.
