Once again, these nominees are incredibly weird. Why is Taylor Swift nominated in the country AND pop categories? Those slots should have been taken by someone else. And WTF @ Michael Jackson. Seriously?

It's not just Taylor though :S Eminem for Pop/Rock & Hip/Hop male. Beyonce for R&B & Pop/Rock. AMA's are a mess!
And MJ? Oh my. They should have just given him a career award and a dedication segment.
Oh well, there's a reason why at least the Grammy's are known, whereas nobody know's the AMA'S...
Go Beee!

Why is Pop/Rock merged together? WTF. Michael Jackson? WTH. (sighs)
I agree w/ jback, they should've given him some type of career award and a musical tribute. Aren't the AMAs based on sales/success? So you can pretty much guess who is gonna win what unless they are gonna allow viewer voting like I think they did last year.

Yes it is viewers voting again(3rd year in a row). So Taylor is winning a bunch, MJ will probably get a few, Beyonce hopefully will get R&b Female(she should be able to beat Cole & Hilson).
AMA's are always about the performances anyway! Can't wait for them!

Michael Jackson sold more records than everyone else. Of course he was nominated as a favorite.
I hope Keri or Beyonce wins.

These nominations get worse every year. As much as I love Taylor she shouldn't be nominated in both country and pop. For Female (Pop/Rock) Beyonce & Taylor should've got replaced with Britney & Pink.

Again they put the R&B/Hip Hop artists in the pop/Rock categories too. Pathetic and irrelevant award show. At least I hope there are some great performances.
