Surprised there isnt yet a thread on this...

AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2009

So far...

- Black Eyed Peas won for best Group
- Taylor Swift (again?) won for Best Female Artist
- Michael Jackson (posthumous) Male R&B Artist
- Keith Urban won for Country Male Artist
- Beyonce won for Female R&B Artist
- TMobile Text Award went to Gloriana
- Whitney Houston awarded the International Star Award
- Taylor Swift won for Female Country Artist
- Michael Jackson (again) for Best Pop/Rock Male Artist
- Jay-Z won for best Rap/HipHop Male Artist

Kelly Clarkson performed and is just as beautiful as ever. She has grown so much since American Idol. Love her. And with the string-quartet backing her up, you could hardly hear the Halo back-track

Shakiras dancers (to say they were back-up dancers is an understatement) were so freaking hawt! I have GOT to learn that step-routine.

Keith Urban had a very sparkly shirt on! I used to teach his daughter!

Alicia Keys went soooo flat singing New York New York but Jay-Z saved the day. Im curious if other big cities are jealous of our new song.

Black Eyed Peas rocked the house!!! Fergie really really showed off her incredible range and voice-stability (even when live) and mixing in a bit of Nirvana near the end of the set!

Did Jermaine seriously just introduce someone in the Jackson as Jermajesty?!?!?!

Ummm... How amazing was Rihannas red-glowing shoulder pads?!?!?!? Lady is getting fierce and angry! But did she know that she was riding what the gay-community likes to call an Iron-Cross?

Rascal Flatts were funny making-fun of their own reverb.

Carrie Underwood kinda makes me wet. Look at that gurl and her kick-as$ career!!! Moreover, look what kinda recording super-stars FOX produces!

OHMYGAWD!!! LADY GAGA HAS LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!! Okay, lets break it down... (1) Back-up dancers show the public the other 50% of the choreography to Bad Romance that we dont see in the video (2) She broke a glass case around her piano, which then went on-fire (3) She sang Speechless while breaking vodka bottles. F*CK YEAH LADY!

Mary J.Blige performance was lack-luster

Yes, please: Who the heck is Gloriana?

Amused that J-Lo is able to make Louis Vuitton the verse of her chorus. Was kinda digging the wrestling-ring theme (inspite of the bad costume change and did she fall on her butt or was that a dance move?)

Whitney trying so damn hard! To quote her: She crashed down. She stumbled. But she did not crumble. She didnt know her own strength (or the fact her voice is gone!)

Did Jermaine really just thank Allah? I mean, freedom of religion (Im an atheist) but cant help feeling like that was translated into: Look, Im wearing a white glove and dont have equal talent!

Did Seth Green seriously ask if I had insurance because of the blow-the-roof-off-the-house-ness?

The timelessness of Green Day boggles me!!!

GaGa was completely robbed by a blonde betch whose fan-base lies solely in the Bible Belt.

BUT THANK YOU ADAM LAMBERT for ending the show with a full open-mouth MAN-ON-MAN KISS!!! He is here for my entertainment! Updated On: 11/22/09 at 08:58 PM

It's a shame I missed Kelly! I thought my tivo had it recorded but it didn't.

I was about to post about the show but something just threw me off. Jermaine Jackson just introduced one member of his family as "jer majesty."

when you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, so I'm speechless.

Jane, I didn't see it, but I think one of Jermaine Jackson's kids is actually named Jermasty.

Edited: Sorry, that should be Jermajesty. Updated On: 11/22/09 at 09:18 PM

Jermagesty, yes that's my point!

I'm pretty sure there was no glass on that stage. It was probably that theatrical plastic they use which shatters like glass.

So far everyone who is winning I was rooting for although idk who Gloriana is.

I feel bad for that kid, Jermajesty being named that.

Umm...I'm sooo over Shakira and while I like Gaga, her performances confuse me I'm not gonna lie.

Jlo has a new song? Wow, where have I been?

[EugLoven]

Posted: 11/22/09 at 9:59pm

Im pretty sure Gloriana translates into: Opening-band that rides Taylors coat-tails (if youre using the Kentucky dialect)

Did J-Lo fall on her ass or was that an awkward dance move?

GaGa of course was using candy-glass but hello! Girl effing owns!!!

Of course, it was theatrical glass.

Lady Gaga was freaking brilliant.

Whitney still knows how to work the "pregnant pause"!

But boy is she ever HOT FLASHIN'!

[poeticmelody]

Posted: 11/22/09 at 10:14pm

Yeah... Whitney's dress was unflattering. :/

[PalJoey]

Posted: 11/22/09 at 10:20pm

She still doesn't know her own strength.

[EugLoven]

This award was sort of a polite way of telling Whitney: Girl, love you, but shut it.

Aaaannndddd.... Jermaine needs to sit down.

Gloriana is the band that Cheyenne Kimball, from the MTV reality show a few years ago(also winner of America's Most Talented Kid), is in. I know they've had one big hit so far, but can't remember the name of it.

I just remembered "Wild at Heart" is the song. I missed the first bit of AMA's so don't know if they performed or not. Updated On: 11/22/09 at 10:26 PM

Who is that cute, short, bearded boy they keep showing in the front row?

[EugLoven]

Posted: 11/22/09 at 10:29pm

JRB: Thats me. Ive been tweeting and using mobile the whole time.

Really though: Did Seth Green seriously ask if I had insurance because of the blow-the-roof-off-the-house-ness?

HA Eug! :)

Eminem: Yawn.

Loved Mary J. Blige.

If Taylor Swift wasn't so classy, I would be bitter she beat Lady Gaga. But she's so damn classy!

[PalJoey]

Posted: 11/22/09 at 10:58pm

Classy but dull. Almost makes you wish Kanye were there.

LADY GAGA WAS ROBBED BY A DAMN BLONDE TEENY-BOPPER whose popularity rests solely in the hands of Middle-America.

But YES! ADAM LAMBERT ended the show with a full-on MAN-ON-MAN OPEN MOUTH KISS! Take that Bible thumpers! MUSIC ROCKS!!!

[jrb_actor]

Posted: 11/22/09 at 11:00pm

LOL--I DID think that until she spoke.

I love MJ, but I felt like his winning awards was a bit ridiculous--maybe after his posthumous album is released, yes.

Which performance wins for strange and most awkward?
Lady Gaga breaking bottles and dancing like a Fawn on stage?
Or Adam Lambert Shoving faces in his crouch and falling rolling around on stage. It's a hard choice..lol

Well, one of them was captivating and the other was very clumsy.
