Spectacular Award show, Spectacular Fashion, Spectacular Performances with Spectacular People; 2009 American Music Awards by far was the Best. This year they opened the awards with Janet Jackson, her performance was marvelous, Janet performed several of her hits and was dancing her ass off very good choice for an opening act. These awards are very much so different from the other award shows I'm accustomed to like the BET awards or Hip Hop Awards MTV Awards and such. The American Music Awards featured all types of Genres of music Hip Hop, Pop, R&B, Country and so on. Black Eyed Peas took home an award for Best Pop/Rock Band they were all looking very dapper, Fergie was rocking a new hair color, which I Loved. Best Country Band award went to Rascal Flats, Best Alternative Rock Award went to Green Day, Breakthrough Award went to a new group that I’ve never in my life heard of by the name of Gloriana, Best Male Hip Hop/Rap award went to Jay Z and the lovely ladies Keri Hilson and Toni Braxton introduced that award to Mr. Carter, the Late Michael Jackson won several Awards that night that his brother gave wonderful speeches for and Young Taylor Swift won the award for Artist of the Year she took home several awards tonight. There were plenty of other awards given furthermore but too many to mention. I was amazed to see that they had so many impressive performers this year such as Daughtry, Shakira performed with her sexy woman based dancers, Keith Urban performed his hit song “Kissed a Girl”, and also Kelly Clarkson. A-Rod aka Alex Rodriguez introduced JayZ and Alicia Keys to perform their addictive anthem “New York” Alicia and Jay were dressed very dapper for this performance a positive Good Look they had several fans of the song in the audience dancing and singing along to them like Mary J Blige and Kendu, Keri Hilson, Country Singer Reba, Leona Lewis, Whitney Houston and even Perez Hilton. During this performance it was the talk of twitter everyone was wondering if Lil Mama would do a repeat of the MTV awards and run on stage, Comedian/Actor Marlon Wayans said Via Twitter “#AMAs watch Lil Mama crawl up out the Piano and Pose for the ending” that tickled me, he was referencing to the Piano Alicia Keys was playing on if you didn’t see the award show. Other performers were Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna made a debut performance with her new song “Wait is Over” she was dressed in a Mummy Like outfit, looked of the consistency of Tape, very weird but was Sexy. Lady Gaga stunned us with her feisty performance and her stunning head dresses she likes to wear, breaking glass and Burning Pianos loved it, Mary J Blige, Jlo came back on the scene with her new song singing about the expensive red bottomed shoes “Louboutins” she was amazing and the track was actually catchy, Whitney Houston performed, Timbaland, Green Day performed “21 Guns”, 50 Cent & Eminem, and they Closed out with Adam Lamberts new song. It was a night worthwhile staying in watching these awards. I was very impressed this year, hopefully next year they can compete with themselves and do much more. Who knows they just might, more and more everyday we are introduced to new music. Overall if they play repeats and you missed it, I suggest you catch the repeat.
