Oh yeah, I forgot that they all sold well on their albums that were released several years ago. Ok, point taken. Let's compare the current albums then. How much has Battlefield the album sold again? Shall we compare that to how much Kelly, Daughtry and Carrie has sold so far on their current albums? Trust me, I get your frustration and I do think Jordin is doing good but MAYBE just MAYBE there are much bigger acts that pull in the same crowd that Jordin does and that's the reason why she's not being invited at these awards shows. There are bigger Idols that can fill in the Idol gap, there are bigger teen artists that fill in the Disney crowd, there are bigger Urban (if you want to call Jordin an Urban artist) artists that will attract the Urban crowd and so on. I just don't get why they always choose the same old Idols to perform at these things. What did Carrie do in 2009? Jordin did Divas. Carrie didn't. I don't see the Carrie fans complaining about that. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Sold well on albums years ago? Kelly's opening week in the US sold more copies than Jordin's has to date worldwide.
Some artists are just more relevant. Sorry.

I just don't get why they always choose the same old Idols to perform at these things. What did Carrie do in 2009? She had a #1 country single this year and she is nominated for an award. For that matter so is Daughtry. These two actually have nominations at this awards show. A convenient fact you keep missing. In Kelly's case she may not be nominated but she did have a #1 single on BB this year and has sold over 700k in albums. That isn't a bad year. It's just a few other people had better years. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Taylor...all people I expect to be announced to perform schedules permitting. Britney and Rihanna too. And please tell me where this "always" comes from. Kelly hasn't performed at an awards show like this in years. The most recent event she did was at the country awards last year? where she was more of a backup to Reba in that song. Daughtry has performed at a grand total of ONE award show which was in '07 at the AMA's. They've hardly monopolized these events. Honestly, so much drama over an awards shows I've seen Pulse members dismiss because it allows fans to have a say in the awards. When did a performance slot at the AMA's take on such importance? ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif)

Her first 4 singles have sold over 8 million downloads worldwide. Carrie has performed at tens of award shows, Jordin has performed at none. I'm not saying that Carrie, Kelly or Daughtry don't deserve to perform at the AMA's, but I'm just saying that I think that Jordin deserves to perform there aswell. :)

Shakira to perform on American Music Awards ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0270.gif) We're pleased to confirm that Shakira will be performing live on the American Music Awards, which will be broadcast live on ABC on Sunday November 22nd, at 8/7c. shakira.com/ You mean all the performers hadn't been announced yet? :o ;) Thank you. :) Maybe this will remind people that many slots haven't been announced because the AMA's want to keep people talking about the show. They'll release names at their pace in scheduled intervals.

I'm angry at the fact that they decided to ask several artists from American Idol to perform and didn't ask Jordin, instead they asked Adam Lambert, and the only reason he's going to be performing there is because of all of the press he's been receiving lately. Also at the fact that she's never performed at an award show.

^Kelly never performed at the AMA's, and she's been around for 7 years. And they have to ask Jordin to perform just because they asked other idols to perform??? Coming from Idol doesn't mean she has to be there, Kelly Carrie and Daughtry are way beyond idol and they're where they are because they're successful artists in their own right. Jordin's singles did well, but that's not enough for her to be performing at an awards show, many other artists did a lot better than her.

Jordin Sparks should definitely get a performance slot at the American Music Awards.
Jordin WON the Best Adult Contemporary Artist at the 2008 American Music Awards.
She has THREE Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And she has TWO Top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Plus she's a Grammy nominated artist.
She was the opening act for the Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears.

On this Jordin performing debacle, one thing no one has mention so far is that maybe Jordin couldn't even do it. Maybe she was invited and had a schedule conflict. I mean Jordin's albums sell hasn't been good, but she could have been invited already and couldn't do it. Don't attack me :) just throwing that out there
Oh, and I love all 4 Idols and I do wish Jordin would perform there but it's okay if she doesn't.

That could be true, but I think Jordin would try to make time for the AMA's unless it was like something super important she had to do instead. When I spoke to her, she was a little dissapointed she didn't get any AMA nominations cause I'm guessing she wanted to go and might go anyway if she's a presenter or something. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif)

All this arguing about somebody who isn't even performing...verging on off topic...how about we talk about the ones that made the cut...

The nominees for Breakthrough Artist are spot on. Thr AMA nods don't necessarily translate to the Grammys but I think those are the ones deserving of BNA nods too.

Yea, I like the nominees for Breakthrough Artist. Not too shocked that Gloriana and Kid Cudi prevailed over Zac Brown Band and Drake, respectively.
Three of my favorite new artists are there: Gaga, Cudi, and Keri. Gaga will most likely win this, but I might go with the underdog: Cudi. But congrats to all four of those nominees.

The AMA producer said there will be 18 Live performances. Though at the end he said he was still waiting to hear from someone before the lineup was complete. I don't know if that's one of the 18 or additional to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qksBuwSmfFo

^She'll probably do a medley of hits? She doesn't need much rehearsal time- just take one of the segments from the tours. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0270.gif) (that's something to look forward to, anyway).

^ Actually, Zac Brown Band is likely to be the BNA nominee at the Grammys for the country acts. Otherwise, I agree with that list. Gloriana only has one hit song so far, but they beat Zac Brown Band because this is fan voted and they are Taylor swift's opening act. Enough said. lol
