Pitbull is hosting again this year. :|
Also, he joins Charlie XCX as the next confirmed performer for the show.

Today's Hits Daily Double basically confirms Ariana Grande was the (supposedly) cancelled performer. I say supposedly because - who exists to verify any of this? www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPage.cgi?news10134m01"Ariana Grande’s stunning AMA-nominations shutout has caused a lot of chatter about bad choices and pulled performances, but we’re betting bigtime that the team of Ken Ehrlich, Jack Sussman and Neil Portnow will find a unique and adult way to feature her on the Grammys." What's weird to me is that I thought at least some of the AMA nominations (related to singles, in particular) are based on statistical calculations rather than producer decisions...which would mean Ariana Grande wasn't so much snubbed as undeserving in a few categories

I can definitely see why she wasn't included in the Pop/Rock category or Singles category when you take into consideration the eligibility period (Oct-Sep). Lorde rose to #1 for 9 weeks at the very beginning of the period (Oct. 2nd), Katy Perry was coming off of Roar which was still Top 10, Dark Horse started it's #1 reign in February, Iggy Azalea started her #1 reign in June while also piggybacking off Problem which was at the #2 position. Points wise I don't see where Ariana would be above any of these people. Exposure, maybe, but when you play the numbers game she doesn't add up. Plus all the nominations are #1s which unfortunately way more than her #2 peak and also they other #1s were on the charts for a LONG time.

The awards themselves are meaningless when performing actually provides greater exposure.

The awards themselves are fan-voted. That's how Justin Bieber won Artist Of The Year twice in the past.

If it's true that Ariana was pissed and pulled out, that's super annoying. The nominations, while often ridiculous, are based on stats. Sorry. If she's asking/hoping that the AMAs would bend to fit her in, that's a real diva move. Performing on the show the week of Black Friday is going to do more for her than it will for the award show, IMO. Also, the AMAs have been "good" to her, she won Best New Artist last year.

I doubt that anyone would pull out of a show (with mass exposure) simply because they weren't nominated for an award... That would be an IDIOTIC move.

Sam Smith is performing.
So, the first 3 confirmed performers are Charli XCX, Pitbull, and Sam Smith.

Based on the bold, I'm now officially convinced this story is rooted in guesswork (par for the course when it comes to HDD's "awards coverage"). -- Since many AMA categories are based on statistical calculations, how could there be an "egregious oversight?" Either the numbers add up or they don't. -- Miley Cyrus performed last year. She was not nominated. A Great Big World/Christina performed last year. They were not nominated. Katy Perry performed last year. She was not nominated. -- Thus far, Grande has not backed out of her commitment. But she also hasn't been confirmed. So there's no way to verify any of this. Since she's a big name, it makes sense she'll probably be invited to perform. But if she doesn't ended up performing, Hits can say #TOLDJA - she backed out due to the nominations issue. Pathetic journalism. Reminds me of when they said "performing at the AMAs = no Grammy visibility." Or "there's chaos over the fact that Jay-Z's mediocre at best 2013 album got snubbed by the Grammys." I know, I know. How dare I question the integrity of someone who writes on a professional trade journal with the moniker "IB Bad."

Why hasn't Meagan been announced?? It'll be the biggest platform she's going to have before her album drops in January.

Christina Millian?! That's a surprise! Besides her (annoying) participation in the voice commenting on the (worthless) social media comments, I hadn't heard from her in about a decade! So Jessie J is performing Bang Bang? I hope she also performs Burnin' Up! I'd love to see her killing it with her vocals and dancing song needs to be a hit! I don't see Gwen... Thought she could use the promo :--/
