If RCA is lucky, maybe most people didn't bother to watch the last performance.

Michael was a kind man, so I hope his fans respect him and celebrate his four winnings, same goes to taylor fans. Support both artists.

That was such a disappointment. Case closed. No wonder Beyonce, Britney, Mariah, Taylor, and Madonna skipped. Even GaGa couldn't save it. Well, to be fair, Madonna didn't even bother to perform during her own Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, she couldn't care less about these things.

This show needed Beyonce and Britney. Still shocked at the Taylow win over MJ. My dislike for her grows everytime I see her.

I hope you're not talking about me. Anyone with a Britney avatar shouldn't even be allowed to comment on talent, singing, performances or anything for that matter. Oh please. You can not even say anything about talent or performances. Voice, not the strongest, but not the worst. But anyways, please do not compare a group who can barely sell a million records (WW) and cant even get a hit, to someone who can sell more than a million in the US alone and get #1 hits while lounging around. And none of that has to do with talent or music quality. Try again.

Can't wait to see what Michael's fans have to say! It'll make Carriefans look like ants. Taylor fans just made enemies of Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Michael Jackson fans along with Carrie's lol! laughable, once again!!! Are you never going to learn to speak for yourself and your overinvestedness instead of projecting it upon not only Carrie fans, but also fans of the other artists you named? If you wish to declare someone an "enemy" because she won some awards then you are perfectly entitled to do so, but please don't ascribe the same lack of perspective to others. Congratulations to all of tonight's winners and to their fans.

Ooh, I forgot- Whitney and Mary J. both did well, too. Not sure if WHit's performance was as good as it was on Oprah, but, still, good.
If Britney Spears performed, it would have been yet another lip-synching job, and the show looked like it had a couple instances of that, anyhow.
Adam Lambert- definite showman, but the kiss and movements (the oral suggestion) seemed a little awkward.

Couldn't care less about the shock value, but Adam sounded like CRAP. I liked him on idol, but it's been all downhill since. I don't think I've ever done such a complete 180 on a performer. I now find him repellent.

You guys need to get off Taylor's back. Get ready cuz she's winning 5 grammy awards. I think she's adorable. Regarding her look of being "shock" I really don't think that's what it is at all. I think it's more of a surprised look. This girl is the biggest thing out there and I have no problem with her winning. At least someone new is winning, this is her FIRST year of awards domination so let her enjoy it. I remember watching award shows and it wouldn't be taylor who won, it would be Carrie who won so she is probably surprised that she is finally winning after all this time. Go Taylor, the biggest thing in Music right now. So big even an unknown band won an AMA just for Opening for her. LOL
BTW, I saw Adam fall.

I respect artists who put at least some thought into respecting their audience. Adam didn't respect his audience. He just did whatever the hell he wanted, thinking that what he wanted is what people wanted to see. It's a freakin' prime time TV show on broadcast TV--not cable and not after 11pm. Show at least a modicum of respect for that. He could have still been OTT without crossing the line of bad taste. It's performers who can do that, that can call it good art. Otherwise it's just a hot mess trainwreck of a poorly devised and executed performance.

She wasn't winning Artist of the Year/Video of The Year and all that crap though. It was strictly country awards for her. Last year's AMAs = 1 nomination, 1 win This year = 6 nominations, 5 wins And again how many albums have she sold? Anyone who thinks Taylor is winning awards because of Kanye, better go check the album sales this year or something. s**t her first CD is almost selling better(and is selling better)than Sasha Fierce, Circus, Funhouse, and all the other divas albums. Album sales don't determine who win awards though...

I thought the majority of the audience was stiff and boring. But then Adam performed...they looked scared!!
Maybe because it's not a concert or the VMAs, I just got a different vibe from this audience all night.

Why why why couldn't he have done something like this?
He has enough raw talent to truly wow people without all that absurdity we just witnessed.

Jeeez...I feel like I'm being stalked on these boards! My point is made pretty clear by the twitter-hate towards Taylor right now. lol, Maybe not from Beyonce or Carrie's fans...but definately from MJ and Gaga fans, as to be expected. When I say fans, I don't mean all, I mean the majority...I don't mean to put down other fan bases or the artists, so I honestly find nothing wrong with my post.

I totally knew that Adam was going to have an over-the-top performance like that. I knew he was going to push the envelope. LOL I am not shocked at all. There was nothing pushing the envelope in that performance. Seriously, go back and watch Madonna's performances during the Erotica era. She did all this same stuff. However, her performances weren't a hot mess like Adam's was.

IMO the top performances went like this.
Kelly Clarkson/Lady GaGa/Carrie Underwood, I can't put one above the other yet.
then...
Nelly Furtado (even if it was for a minute on an annoying song, she did great) J.Lo ( I was expecting the worse, but she delivered!)
But I also missed half the show so who knows what other great performances I didn't catch.

That's because they are jealous of Taylor. Michael Jackson has like 26 AMA's how many more does he need? Carrie, Beyonce both have way more awards then I think they really deserve. I'm happy someone finally came along and knocked them down big time. But really Taylor deserves it, she had a great year, hit singles and record sales. Who else deserves it more?

Performance rank: Lady Gaga Carrie Underwood Kelly Clarkson Whitney Houston (gotta give it to her) Jay Z and Alicia Keys
