WTF was up with Hilary's and Lindsay's dresses? Who told them that they could sing live? Lindsay could NOT and why did she mess up Stevie Nicks' song like that?

They also said tonight Lindsay had cracked ribs.... so maybe that's why.

Ya know,

I watched a little bit and then fell asleep. They might as well bring Lionel Richie back.

I read or heard a while back that there was something between this show and the Grammys. Artists could not appear on both. Of course this puts them in an awkward position as folks want to be at the Grammys.

But uhhhh, Grammys have been boring lately as well

^^^^^
I think I may know too much about awards shows but here it goes...

There were three reasons why the AMAs moved to November from the end of January.

1)Is the situation that Fun4real mentioned. The folks over the Grammys told artists that if they performed at the AMAs, forget about performing at the Grammys. It came to a head a few years ago when both tried to get Michael Jackson to perform. Dick Clark got mad because he felt that artists should perform at both awards and that the people should get to see their favorite artists as much as possible. BTW, Michael showed up at the AMAs but didn't perform.

2) The shift in awards season. The Oscars are now earlier than they have traditonally been, so a lot of awards shows (both Grammys and AMAs) changed their times.

3) Lower ratings. They felt that if they moved it to November sweeps, more people would watch. That hasn't been the case, especally with most artists not even showing up.

Like I said previously, Dick Clark really needs to give it up. It was good when it was just them and the Grammys but now with so many award show there's not much of a need for it anymore.

BTW, the Grammys (in my opinion) have gotten a whole lot better!

I didn't want to start a new thread. Did anyone watch tonight?

Can I say I loved Alicia Key's performance?

Queen Latifah's rap gave me thoughts of U-N-I-T-Y.

For a second, I start the opera was a little much but it all came together nicely.

Alicia has been creative with the performances, and I'm liking her vibe.

I LOVED Alicia's performance!!

As an official Beyonce stan, I loved her as well... flaws and all!

I am in love with Kanye! I understand him. I get where he is coming from and where he is going. Who needs Alexis? Holla at me 'Ye!!

Rihanna *thumbs down* I just can't get into this chick.

Mariah *blank stare*

LOL @ blank stare. Mi-Mi has been boring me for the last two albums (with her performances and videos. Put the coochie cutters down damnit!) Was Nick Cannon her back up dancer?

Man, I missed it! I don't really watch awards shows like I used to, but I'm always

The next day when I've realized I missed it. I'll look up the performances on YouTube. Anything interesting happen, though?

Usually I am on top of the music awards show, but I COMPLETELY missed this. I was too busy watching Captain Jack Sparrow.

Now you know Kanye is blowing up MY PHONE and reminding me to get his new CD today. And I'm helping him get over her.

Back to the awards:

I mostly watched the last hour because I had to watch Cold Case. I missed Beyonce and Mimi.

Wasn't really feeling Rihanna last night. It looked like she stepped out of Thunderdome. We don't need another hero....

The opera part of Alicia's set had me a little

. I don't know why. Almost forgot that the Queen could rap.

LMAO!!

I know that Beyonce's performance was on YouTube last night, but I don't know if it's still there. I'm unsure if Papa Knowles has had them snatched up by now.

Alicia was great! I LOVED the Queen's rap. I would have preferred the Queen to have on a better outfit, but hey... That's just me. I was taken aback by Katherine Battle as well, but it soon came together for me.
