IN CASE U MISSED IT: AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS…

IN CASE U MISSED IT: AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS…


Last night, luckily to a friendly reminder I tuned into the American Music Awards. I wont bother providing a recap, I’ll let the pictures and videos do the talking…check after the jump!


Ne-Yo and his dancers freaked off in front of the audience to “Miss Independent” and then switched it up with “Closer” . When will he give up Michael’s ghost?


Rihanna outwon Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige in two categories, Ouch! And when the Pussy Cat Dolls hit the stage, Melody Thorton had a lil’ snafu with her patent leather overcoat…not a good look for live tv.


Last year, Kanye bitched and complained about being snubbed at the MTV VMA. Yet last night, he gave one of his awards to Lil’ Wayne…Did I miss something?! And before his Weezy dedication, Kanye gave the ultimate soundbite to date. In his acceptance speech for Favorite Album, the always humble rapper told the crowd,

“I’d like to thank everyone who accepted me trying to break new boundaries in music. It’s our responsibility as musicians to keep pushing each other…We will be the new Beatles, the new [Jimi] Hendrix. I want to be Elvis.”

And on to other publicity whores, Nick Cannon escorted wifey, Mariah, onto the stage before performing “I Stay In Love“. Was that really necessary? Anywhoo, word is the pair were talking babies before the set.


And to close the show, Chris Brown won artist of the year…WTF?! Over Coldplay? Really, I want a recount!


Beyonce killed her performance of “Single Ladies“.


Rihanna half-assed her “Rehab” performance…I swear you wouldn’t catch me dead at any Rihanna concert. The chick is blah on stage.


Kanye hit the stage 10 minutes before the show ended and performed “Heartless“…let’s just say I prefer the video.


Alicia Keys closed the show with a stellar performance with a few special guests including Queen Latifah for “Superwoman“.

  • AS FAR AS MARIAH AND NICK. IT’S GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE RIGHT AND MARRIED ETC.. LET’S JUST WISH THEM MUCH HAPPINESS. MEN NEED TO LEARN TO TREAT THEIR WOMAN LIKE LADIES (NICK IS SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE)(BARACK TOO!) SO YES IT WAS NECESSARY FAR HIM TO EXCORT HER TO THE STAGE.
    REAL MEN AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE STAND UP!
    LEAVE KENYA ALONE HELL HE LOST HIS MOTHER AND MAYBE HE HAS A DIFFRENT VIEW ABOUT LIFE ETC…

  • “Swagger”, speaking of recycled, are you aware that your name is tired?

    by: E. Jay, Nov 25th at 4:48 am

  • Not everone can have a name as unique as EJay that can be spelled multiple ways in order to be an original. You could even use just the initials cause no one ever does that…

    Girl you such a trendsetter! I am so glad you’re around to deem what’s hot

  • I did not watch the show, however I did catch Ms.B’s performance on YouTube (thank goodness for technology). Anyhooo, Bee did great (per usual) as far as “Swagger” comment about her doing the same routine…Let’s see you go up there and do better. “E. Jay” I totally agree with you…LOL. I am tired of people not giving credit, where it is do. Rhianna’s songs are great, when it is not live…she is dull as rusted tools, live. Not to take away from, her beauty and rocker swag. She is amazing but she lets just be real she is not beyonce. Mariah and Nick….***ummmmm****no words…LOL

  • I love how ya’ll stan for someone who has never had an original idea in her life. No one said b’s show wasn’t lively (or rihanna’s wasn’t painful to watch) – she just stole the act from Bob Fossee’s wife (google it: mexican breakfast). At least change it up a little to make it your own. Just don’t do the same routine in the same outfit for every appearance/ awards show cause that’s lame (unless it a concert tour). Thank GOD she finally changed that hair from that awful bump. If you do the same routine a million times you better do the damn thing.
    Kanye said it best: Rihanna is the best thing that ever happened to Beyonce’s career
    As far as my name: not everyone gets their names from rappers. I didn’t invent the word but it was mine long before it was a song so get over it

  • I will say that Beyonce killed it on Ellen today

    by: swagger, Nov 25th at 9:01 pm

  • Flaws and all only cause I aint see the rest

    by: swagger, Nov 26th at 4:08 am

  • My only question is—-why I haven’t saw one blogger talk about how bad Mariah’s performance was???? She was off-key, life-less, and she seemed really un-sure about herself. I wasnt sure if she was just REALLY nerves, or hadn’t prepared properly, but it was just awful….at least Rihanna looked alive instead of a pale CORPSE!!! LOL Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

  • oh….and Beyonce on Ellen made me cry (happy tears) —- a very BEAUTIFUL performance….you just knew she was thinking of and singing to Jay….SO SWEET (the ups and downs of relationships…she REALLY is HUMAN)
