I hate this show. Useless. +1 And the categories are so weird and stupid. The urban artists always get nominations in the Pop-Rock categories. Beyoncé probably will be nominated for Pop-Rock female and R&B female and Eminem and Kanye West will be nominated for Pop-Rock male and Rap male at the same time. Last year Chris Brown won Pop-Rock male and R&B male at the same time. "As I Am" by Alicia Keys won favorite Pop-Rock album ( ) and R&B album at the same time.

Ugh I hate online voting, and I agree the categories are whack. Does anybody even care about this awards? You always hear about the grammys but never the AMA's/

I don't get all the complaints. Last year the AMAs was the best wards show BY FAR! They shit all over the VMAs, BETs and grammys by focusing on the perfromances and not the awards. Hopefully, they'll do the same this year. Looking forward to it.

In fact all the winners of the pop-rock categories were the same of the R&B categories. But I agree that the performances are the only good thing about this useless award show.

Yes i agree that the nominations are weird. Beyonce, Chris Brown, Mariah, Alicia were both in the R&B/Soul & Pop/Rock Category, while Jordin Sparks was (and won) in Adult Contemporary, while she should be in the R&B/Soul or Pop/Rock instead of that one.

The actual show was pretty good last year from what I remember. But like everyone else is saying, the nominations are SO weird. Who decides them in the first place? The awards are fan voted, so there must not really be a panel or anything, right? Doesn't really make sense.

Agreed. These awards lost any and all credibility when they let fans vote. What a mess...but the performances last year were great so hopefully they recreate that magic

Any nomination predictions?
I expect Beyonce will lead the pack of nominees this year. She's an R&B Artist and get nominations in that field and since the American Music Awards are retarded will allow her to be nominated in the Pop/Rock field too.

The nominations come out Tuesday already- wow!
I think Beyonce and Lady Gaga will get alot of love, as well as maybe Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, Taylor, Carrie Underwood, and maybe Maxwell?
The men didn't have as big of a year as the ladies, it seems.
