I hate fan-voted award shows. It makes it much less honorable. Fans give artists their votes all the time by purchasing singles and albums. The industry should be voting on these awards. The industry votes for the Grammy awards and still people complain. Basically, the awards suck when your favorites don't win.

I'm really not disappointed. I just think fan voted award shows are pointless. There's a lot more respect and prestige involved when it's industry voted though. EDIT: To me, and many other people, there's so much more repect when someone wins a Grammy as opposed to an AMA award.

He just has yet to create a classic R&B song. And so has Usher :) I dont hate him, just keeping it real I already listed Usher's R&B classics. it's really quite that simple.

I forgot about Ne-Yo. I really did like his performance, although he performed songs from his new album, which I've never heard.

Every year, I promise myself that I won't watch these mess awards shows, but low and behold, there I am again sitting on the couch watching them. This year's show was just insufferable. The shows don't need to be this horrible, but they are. The performances were just okay. Rihanna, Katy, Ke$ha, and Santana/Gavin were good. The rest were just a big ol' mess. Christina's was very bad, but what the hell happened to Enrique's voice? ??? ??? ??? He used to sound good. Such a shame. It apparently is. On other sites, they are claiming that the other song is being ditched for this one because of the apparent 'scandal' surrounding her mother and Bret Michaels who wrote that other song. That's why we love her. QUEEN! P!NK Though that last note was cringe worthy Oh well, she's nearly perfect 99.99999999% of the time so we'll forgive her for this one. If you squint your eyes, and cover your ears, it looks like Britney performing. It looks like a faster, skankier version of Britney's 2007 VMA performance. Except that looked hot in some parts and this just doesn't. It was so severe.

Rihanna's singing was AWFUL,she can't sing live at all. She's clearly not a live singer but LOL at her stands calling this the best performance of the night...she barely has stage presences, dancing is off, and vocals are hit and miss. WMN is one of the easier songs out of the medley to sing which is why she did mess that one up. Anyway, can't wait for Beysus, Godga, Godney, and Kelegend to slay at next year's show to show them how it is really done (minus Pink because she did a good job).

I'm about to pass out! RIHANNA IS THE QUEEN! :shaking and crying: x 1000 OMG...I can't. J/K. Well, at least she did better than most of the other performers. It seems like those that you expected to slay got slayed (Xtina, boo SMH). I wonder if Riri will perform next year...should be interesting against the likes of Beyonce, Gaga, Brit Brit, and Kelly Clarkson. Oh, and Miley should have worn a different dress. A sloreish outfit would have been bettre than some witchcraft oversized bs she wore last night.

Britney Spears to slay at next year's show to show them how it is really done When was the last time a Britney performance slayed? Seven years ago? I mean, the girl (her material specifically) is pretty flawless at times, but let's not start listing her alongside top-notch entertainers; this isn't 2003.

Wow where has all the good singers with actual singing abilities gone?? Katy and Miley should never be allowed to sing LIVE ever again... Oh add Justin to that list also... Also please Christina go away your voice is soooooooooooooooooo annoying...... so overrated..... Rihanna was good however way to drawn out.... Taylor Swift, omg she looked HOTTTTT however she still sucks big time live.... im about ready to add her to my list of "cannot sing live" artist... Usher's performance was LAME....nothing new from him... kinda lazy performance... I actually liked the New kids / Backstreet Boys mashups... I wished Joey would have sang a solo part..like "Please dont go girl".... It was a fun show..lastly please someone tell Keesha to just freakin go away forever....

Britney is one of my favorites, but I'm done with her about her performances. If she doesn't even go to these awards shows anymore then how is she going to show them how is done? Sitting at home watching her peers and the new artists gettin' better performance after performance while she's doing the opposite. I mean look at Rihanna. She's far from being a great vocalist, but at least she's trying and she's gettin' better. Last night at least she was entertaining and she gave her best performance ever (for her standards). Like the other poster said it's not 2003 anymore :(

I do not get Justin Beiber hype at all. I get he is a teen idol, but really, why is Usher giving a kid who is nothing but another teeny bopper idol all of this time and attention? Well besides money that is. And Justin and Usher should NEVER say Michael Jackson's name when talking about this little boy singing again!
Katy Perry had to be the worst performer of the night.
Taylor was ok until Apologize, then it was bad. She is not strong enough to sing that song. And what is with the bangs? Is it to cover her squinty eyes?
Kesha, well she was not as bad as usual. No matter how much I try to like her, she looks like such a skank all the time, and like she needs a bath.
BEP need to stop and have Fergie do a solo CD. I think the performance was hot horrible, but Fergie is wasting her talent with them.
I like a lot of Britney's music, but just how does a performer who never sings live, even at her own concerts where she charges mega bucks going to show others "how it's done"? Lip syching IMO is not how it's done. She could never make it now if she was just starting doing what she did as a kid. I am glad she is back, her songs are fun, but her type of performance is of the past.

The industry votes for the Grammy awards and still people complain. Basically, the awards suck when your favorites don't win. As much as I am annoyed that Beiber won, I would rather see fans vote than the industry voting. Having Taylor get a sympathy Grammy and sing wth Stevie Nicks was way worse than all of the shitty AMA stuff. The Grammys are all political.

Having Taylor get a sympathy Grammy and sing wth Stevie Nicks was way worse than all of the s**tty AMA stuff. The Grammys are all political. You just proved my point. The Grammys sucked for you because you don't think Taylor deserved to win...but had your favorites won, you would have no problem with it. They can't please everyone...fans will always be biased and complain about any award show where their favorites don't win (or their least favorites do win). Anyways this is a good review of the performances: latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/11/american-music-awards-2010-live-all-the-performances-as-they-happen.html
