Beyonce will probably be overseas on that day. Does anyone know? She'll be in Australia I believe. There was just a commercial for the AMAs that said Janet will be opening with an 8-minute medley. It also confirmed Whitney being there and performing.

So that is 17 performances out of 18, if you add Janet Jackson for the Michael Jackson tribute. One performance left. Hope it is Beyonce! glad to see Whitney performing and receiving that honor. She will tie with Alabama for the artist with the most AMAs EVER and she co-holds the record with MJ for the most AMAs awarded in one night: 8 for The BodyGuard and 8 for MJ for Thriller This really puts into perspective how huge an act she is. Along side Madonna, I thinkWhitney truly is the largest, international, worldwide superstar that we have now that MJ is gone. She truly deserves this honor as her album went #1 in 8 coutries, #3 in the UK, France, Spain, Ireland etc and has sold just about 1.3mil copies in 10wks. Phenomenal! Now who will present her? I say Alicia Keys as she will be there and she has just worked with her.

But, you know, we still have Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Billy Joel, Elton John, and Bob Dylan, among others. I think if you are looking for the biggest, most legendary international music superstar still living, it would be Paul McCartney. And if you're looking for the biggest act right now, it's still U2.

Can't wait to see Janet's medley of her hits!
I hope she includes Rhythm Nation, Together Again, If & Love Will Never Do (Without You).

He is one of the biggest international superstars in the world. He's just not big in the U.S. But he is known worldwide. Robbie lives in Los Angeles for the anonymity. LOL He is in the Guinness Book of World Records when his 2006 concerts sold 1.6 million tickets in one day. He sells out stadiums. Like the kind that holds over 60,000 to 80,000 seats.

Robbie is huge here in latin america too. His show in Argentina a couple of years ago was at a sold out stadium (50,000 people), but i can't remember if it was just one show or two.

Of course, if you are looking at who is the biggest in the US by albums sold, it's not even close. RIAA's #2 seller by certified album sales is Garth Brooks, with 128 million albums, second only to the Beatles. www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=tblTopArtBilly Joel is the next-best-selling living solo act, and he's almost 50 million albums behind.

Damn, this is one hell of a lineup. One of the best in years I think.
Whitney, Janet, J Lo? It's like I entered a time machine. I love it. And there is also a nice mix with lots of current top artists and a few up-and-comers. Great balance.

The line-up is great, the only one I have a doubt of though is Jennifer Lopez. Does she even have an album release date? What is she going to perform?

I hope Carrie performing means she'll win.....but obviously, that didn't matter last week when she performed and hosted on the CMAs. I'm very hopeful!!!

Kris will continue to be upstaged by Adam, just like Ruben was upstaged by Clay. It's sad because Kris is a talented dude but not as flashy as Adam. But whatever.

IMO neither Kris or Adam should get to perform. Kelly had to really pay her dues and prove herself in the music industry, and wasnt even given a BNA at the Grammys because of it. Even Carrie and Daughtry had multiple number ones before they were invited to any major awards show like the AMAs or Grammys. Its sick how these new idols are riding on the back of such successful acts as Clarkson and Underwood without having to prove anything.

I think it is sick that Kris doesn't get a spot. I have nothing against Adam (I like Kris more) but like...Kris won. Shouldn't the label be getting Kris promo? Dear GOD!

No one really cares about Janet anymore. She's only getting this opportunity because Michael died. Once again, she is piggybacking off of Michael to get her career back on track, like she did when she released her new single after doing the Michael tribute at the VMAs
Kris isn't entitled to anything. He didn't get invited because he isn't interesting. He only won AI because all the homophobic rednecks voted for him because they didn't want Adam to win.

The biggest winners of the night will be between Michael and Taylor. The fact that the tagline of the AMAs is "With five nominations, will Michael be the biggest winner of the night?" That man will win about three AMAs; same applies to Taylor.
