Some of these nominations are ridiculous Why on God's green earth is Rihanna in the Soul/R&B category? Probably b/c she's black and had a popular first single. I guess they wanted to fit her right in the Soul/R&B category to fill it out. Fill It Out! Umm, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys have all had bigger R&B hits than her. Beyonce and Fantasia belong there, they both have had singles that spent 7+ weeks at #1 on the R&B chart. Did Rihanna even go Top 3 on R&B? If she did I don't remember her spending any long amount of time there

I guess they wanted to fit her right in the Soul/R&B category to fill it out. If that is the case they could have stuck Fergie and/or Avril or even Kelly in the country category because they are white. Now see how stupid that sounds? She's there because Umbrella was a big hit, period. I think it spent like 10 weeks atop the hot 100 and peaked at #3 or 4 on r & b so it did make it high enough on the R & B chart to be considered r & b. Additionally, the song did hit #1 on Urban. The only reason she couldn't nab a #1 at R & B is because Fantasia had that spot on lock down all summer long and not even "Umbrella" could get past her. Plus, she hit superstar status with Umbrella so she has enough fans to vote her in either Pop Rock or R & B she probably missed pop rock by a hair. Plus this "fill it out" the category thing really doesn't work that way. The AMA's aren't really "filled out", most every artist is eligible for an nomination who put an album (or song) out in a particular time frame. All are put in a pool based on Album sales, then Fans vote who the nominees will be, that means that Beyonce, Fantasia and Rihanna were the top vote getters and became nominees in that field. So this category is no different then the "country" or Pop/rock or AC. They are all chosen the same way. As soul music said, there are tons of R & b ladies who had popular songs and albums out (ciara especially) so it really didn't need "filling out". Really with only three nominees, it really is hard to even get in a nomination. There should been at least 5 nominees in each category like at the grams.

What would Hilary be nominated for? Biggest flop? while my opinion may differ, im pretty sure that having a top 25 single and 2 #1 dance singles, anda top 30 airplay, as well as an album that has sold over 850,000 copies out of the 1,000,000 shipped is not a flop, as well as having a top grossing tour. ;) And someone with a username like "Mystical Whore" should keep her mouth shut and her jaw tight.

You should win a PMA for the most delusional fan ! Just because an artists has #1 dance singles does not mean they are a huge smash. Paris Hilton had atleast 1 dance hit that I know of, maybe two. Does that make her a superstar ultimate worldwide selling sensation? Didn't think so. and 850,000 [WORLDWIDE, ahem] is alright, but Kelly Clarkson has sold more with barely two (flop) singles. Just get over Dignity flopping. You will be a lot happier, and so will we

BREAKING NOMINEE NEWS! After further review of the nominees for this years American Music Awards the panel has decided to add a very important nominee. "After taking great review of this past year we hadn't taken into account the great accomplishments of Hilary Duff", says a spokesperson for the American Music Awards. "We sat back and realized that while singers like Pink, Fergie, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado & Timbaland were topping the charts, Hilary [Duff] was following up her Top 25 single, "With Love", with the Top 100 SMASH "Stranger". Nelly, Pink & Fergie can get all the #1's they want, but can they have a song peak in the 90's? We didn't think so. Thats why we wanted to add Hilary to the nominee list. In fact, we may just give her all the awards outright. Even in the male categories, she's just that special." We asked about her vocal talents compared to other female acts and this was their response, "We realize Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mariah Carey & Kelly Clarkson can bring it and sing it on stage. However, Hilary does something even MORE magnificent, she lipsynchs. There are a few other stars out there that do that such as Britney, but none of them are up to Hilary's caliber. Watching Hilary on stage is such a phenomenon. Her on par lipsyncing is great, but what really gets us going are her amazing dance moves. How does she move like that? We don't know." source: www.delusionalfan.com

Since all of these categories are voted online, who knows who is going to win any of these. It all depends on who votes and how much they vote.
I say anybody can win.

And music isnt about vocal ability, its about message, feeling, and rythm imo...BTW, Hilary doesnt lip-sync anymore... Anyways, she deserved to be nominated, but thats over. Mandy Moore should also be nominated though! I realize she didnt have the most highly publicized comeback, but she deserves to be nominated!
