2007 American Music Awards Nominees Announced Tuesday October 9, 12:30 pm ET New Online Voting Procedures Will, for the First Time in American Music Awards History, Allow America to Pick the Winners by Logging on to AMA.ABC.com Winners to Be Named Live on ABC, Sunday, November 18th at 8:00 pm ET/PT
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nominees for the 2007 American Music Awards, produced by Dick Clark Productions, Inc., were announced today during a press conference at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Present for the announcement was comedian, writer and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who is returning for his fourth time to host the 35th anniversary of the popular awards show. Actress and singer Ashanti and pop rock group the Jonas Brothers were also on hand to announce the list of nominees.
For the first time in American Music Awards history, winners will be determined by online voting at ama.abc.com (votes will be collected from Oct. 9 to Nov. 1). Winners will be announced at the 2007 American Music Awards ceremony, which will be broadcast live on ABC, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 (8:00-11:00 pm ET/PT) from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles.
Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Linkin Park and Daughtry lead the pack with three nominations each. Timberlake is nominated for Favorite Male Artist. His album FutureSex/LoveSounds is up for Favorite Album: Pop or Rock and Favorite Album: Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Beyonce is nominated for Favorite Female Artist: Pop or Rock and Favorite Female Artist: Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Her album B'Day was nominated for Favorite Album: Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Linkin Park is nominated for Favorite Band, Duo or Group: Pop or Rock; Favorite Artist: Alternative Rock Music. Their album Minutes To Midnight is up for Favorite Album: Pop or Rock. Newcomer Daughtry is nominated for Favorite Breakthrough Artist; Favorite Artist: Adult Contemporary Music. His self-titled album Daughtry is up for Favorite Album: Pop or Rock.
Initial nominees were selected by using ballots containing names compiled from data supplied by the music industry trade publication, Radio & Records and Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks retail music sales. The ballots were then sent to a national sampling of more than 15,000 people based on what type of music they listen to, what they buy and how many albums they purchase per year. The sampling also took into account geographic location, age, sex and ethnic origin. The top three vote getters were determined to be the nominees for this year's American Music Awards.
New Online Voting Procedures
The American Music Awards also announced that for the first time music fans will be able to choose which nominated artists ultimately win the coveted awards. This year members of the public can vote for nominated artists by going online and voting at ama.abc.com.
Dick Clark Productions, which was recently acquired by RedZone Capital, came up with the concept to open the voting to the public online after the nominations process was completed when the Company started planning the 35th anniversary edition of the awards show. After examining the show's roots, and how the voting was conducted in the past, the Company's new management decided that the internet provided an ideal way to determine which musical recording artists were truly America's favorite artists in each of the twenty different categories.
"When we acquired the Company we decided to examine what the American Music Awards was all about. We determined that the show was designed to tap into the views of the record buying public and reward America's most successful and favorite musical acts," said Terry Bateman, CEO of Dick Clark Productions. "The internet allows us a way to bring millions of potential voters into the voting process. Now instead of limiting the voting to thousands of people, millions of people will have the opportunity to vote. It is America's awards show, so why not let the public choose which nominees win?"
The voting process is being conducted in conjunction with ABC and is being overseen by the accounting firm Ernst & Young.
Confirmed Performances and Credits
Larry Klein, producer of the 2007 American Music Awards, announced that Daughtry, Celine Dion, Fergie and Rihanna have confirmed to perform. Louis J. Horvitz is directing. Writers will be Barry Adelman and Fred Bronson. Executive in Charge of Production is Bob Bardo. Associate Producer is Don Harary.

It is about time they let everyone vote for the winners! I find this statement funny though, in the past they have always acted like the AMA's are the vote of the american public, yet they only ask a few thousand people. It is good to see that they have finally came to their senses though, even though this should have happened years ago.

I personally think Daughtry will perform Crashed because it most likely is the next single and this would be a great chance to showcase it.

Well, it's already released to Rock and they performed that (instead of OY) at Letterman so that makes sense, specially if OY is already dying at that time, LOL.

OY if it is hanging on by November 18th or "Crashed" if it is released to Hot AC/Pop radio in November since it is already on Rock radio or perhaps what ever their next single is if it isn't "Crashed". ;) Can't go wrong. :)

Justin will be in Australia at the time, and isn't Beyonce touring, too?
Maybe at the Billboard Awards or Grammys...

Great!!! Nickelback is nominated for favorite Pop/Rock Band Duo or Group for 2nd year in a row... It will be tough against Maroon 5 and Linkin Park Out of the three, LP is the least offensive to me. M5's tour is underperforming so maybe they've already peaked. Based on the performance of videos on V spot. Nickleback has the fans and will probably win this hands down. Then add in their clone Daughtry and this will be a show that I'll skip.
