Last night held the 40th anniversary of the
American Music Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Even though the AMA’s
are one those less cared about award shows, there was quite chatter about it. So, of course I just had to give my humble
opinion on how good or bad I thought it was.
We kicked the show off with the award for best pop/rock male
artist. The award would wind up going to absolute no one’s surprise Justin
Bieber. Something that really stood out in Bieber’s acceptance speech was this
quote he made “I want to say this is for all the haters who thought I was just
here for one or two years. I feel like I'm going to be here for a very long
time”, I’m never too fond of when celebrities use the word ‘’hater’’ but I will
just pretend as if he just didn't say it.
The next award of the night was for best female country
artist, and once again not to anyone’s surprise Taylor Swift would win. I’ve
never had a problem with Taylor, but she always does this thing when she wins
awards where she puts on the most shocking facial expressions. After a while
you should really be use to winning awards, and not acting like an eight year
old who just won an award for perfect attendance. Nonetheless from what I hear
this is her eleventh AMA award. So next year Taylor, please don’t act so
shocked.
Nicki Minaj would win the award for best rap/hip hop album. Personally
I could care less about Minaj, although you can’t deny her rather large fan
base. But, if you notice how the awards are going pretty much all the winners
tonight have large fan bases. Then again I guess that’s what happens when you
let little kids choose whose the best ‘’talent’’.
Moving on to other important things about the show, the
performances! Taylor Swift would perform a song from what I would assume is off
of her new album ‘’Red’’ called ‘’I Knew You Were Trouble’’. All I can truly remember about her performance
is that she changed more than once, next.
Speaking of a major wardrobe change, Christina Aguilera went
from a Lotus flower to trailer trash in literally one minute and twenty five
seconds. I guess that would take talent, right? Any who Justin Bieber would
sing an acoustic version of his song ‘’As Long As You Love Me’’ and I didn’t
know what was going on because as he was singing his face was turning red. Well,
he also performed some song with Nicki Minaj as they were even awkwardly grinding
on one another on stage.
Nicki would
also perform a new song of hers called ‘’Freedom’’ where she resembled the
Abominable Snowman.
The top performance of the night in my opinion had to go to
Pink, who creatively reenacted the entire video of her song ‘’Try’’. The
performance was just so ballsy and daring something you don’t see in most pop
singers these days.
I strongly feel she should’ve had the most buzzed about
performance. But yet, we still had Psy’s collaboration with MC Hammer of all
people who I sadly feel got the most attention. If you haven’t heard ‘’Gangnam
Style’’ then you would not really know who or what I’m even talking about and I
refuse to explain.
The biggest shocker of the night had to be Carly Rae Jepsen
beating out One Direction for best new artist. In fact One Direction lost all
three of their nominations, life’s rough. Bieber was the man of the night. Winning all three of the awards he was nominated
for including artist of the year. Welp, I can only imagine how discouraging it may
be for the other artists nominated to have to lose artist of the year to Justin
Bieber of all people. I will give him credit for closing his speech on rather
positive note for mentioning how his date was his mom. The only problem was he
didn’t close the show, Psy and MC Hammer did.
i also think that pink did a good job on her performances.She put alot of love and hard work in to her song and nailed it.
