THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS EDITION
AMAs: The American Music Awards continually choose to feature music performances galore over broadcasting all awards. Winners not given air time last night: Jordin Sparks, Linkin Park, Carrie Underwood, Enrique Iglesias, and more.
Christina Aguilera: Seven-song medley started the show. Seemed original until NKOTB, Natasha Bedingfield and the Pussycat Dolls did medleys as well. We wish she did more singing, though, and less grunting.
Jimmy Kimmel: Made great jokes about the Taylor Swift-Joe Jonas and Miley Cyrus-Nick Jonas break-ups, all of whom were awkwardly in attendance.
Mariah Carey: Was it really necessary to have an appearance on stage by hubby Nick Cannon during her performance? We think not.
Beyonce: Isn’t it weird that she sings about single ladies when she isn’t one anymore? And between SNL and TRL, this performance is getting quite old already.
Chris Brown: Artist of the Year. According to this award show, at least.
Rihanna: If she kept having to hold the bottom of her dress down, maybe she should’ve realized it was too short.
Kanye: Didn’t his face seem a little puffy last night as he made rambling speeches about returning to the 60s and giving his award to Lil’ Wayne?
Queen Latifah: Performed with Alicia Keys (and some opera singer), making memorable references to Obama and Jennifer Hudson’s slain family members.
SIZZLED OUT: Jennifer Aniston
STILL SIZZLING: A recently single Desperate Housewife has been spotted locking lips with Heather Locklear’s ex. Yet another strange combination. (And the answer is NOT Richie Sambora!)
