Considering Carrie will be between concerts in Billings, Montana and Lethbridge, Alberta when the AMAs will take place, it's probably safe to rule her out of performing (and, in all likelihood, attending, not to mention winning anything on the telecast).
Last year's winners were determined online, too, no? The AMAs aren't considered major or prestigious awards, and the producers have turned them into a sponsorship opportunity and way to draw web traffic.
Considering that Disney owns ABC, I wouldn't be surprised to see Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and/or the High School Musical crew performing. Generally speaking, I expect the teen/tween-targeted factor to be high.

Best new artist will probably be between Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks and Miley Cyrus ...With Miley Cyrus winning due to having a much bigger fanbase.

Generally speaking, I expect the teen/tween-targeted factor to be high. Yup I can see it now: Performers: Miley Cyrus Jonas Brothers Demi Lovato Vanessa Hudgens Jesse McCartney + 7 other random performers & Final surprise performance: The HSM cast performing "Now Or Never"

No i'm not interested in watching or even following this Award show anymore! After the horendeos VMA's, i'd rather watch the Europe Music Awards. At least that one is enjoying and not drenched in promoting only one artist.

If true, maybe I will pass this one too. lol Though I admit the Jonas brothers are talented. Hopefully some adult artists will perform too like Usher, Christina, rihanna, chris brown, etc. ^ Dudley you are right that with Carrie's Canadian leg of her tour at that time period, it might be hard for her to attend. But do you have to attend to win the award, or can you get it via satellite, etc? I seem to remember Justin timberlake winning via satellite.

Rihanna performed last year with NeYo. I hope Daughtry is there to at least present, maybe "pass the torch" for the New Artist award the way Carrie did last year. :)
