amas 2009

the american music awards aired sunday, November 22nd on abc.

this awards was either a complete hit for viewers or an overall miss, i personally was on the fence the whole time. i felt that some artists should have performed while some should not have performed.

my overall favorite performance belongs to Lady Gaga.
It was the Gaga that I love, creative and overall talented! notice that she is singing! there are no track vocals! the burning piano was perfection too. I really wish she would have performed in the Alexander McQueen spring 2010 shoes though.


the great Janet Jackson performed with the entire audience standing. Janet performed a melody of songs and you can truly tell that she has not lost her talent. Her performance was the perfect opening.


American Idol contestant, Adam Lambert made his debut performance on the AMAs. His performance is a bit much but that is why I love it. Take it there, a performance is a performance. I prefer there be theatrical and over the top moves as opposed to the artists taking center stage. My friends and I jokingly titled Adam's genre as "theatrical rock" it has a broadway/musical feel with this rock touch. I loved his performance. I loved his suit too.


these were my favorites.

now, for those that I just cannot get with.
J.Lo with Louboutins (In reference Christian Louboutin shoes, red bottoms!) Now I was watching this like "I completely forgot she has a dancers background" so the song plays (I've never heard it before) I cannot get with this song! I just cannot do it, I know it seems weird but not every artist should make a song referencing designer items. I do admire her recovery from her fall though. It took me watching this performance twice to notice it. I also feel like the gold piece is from an older collection, ugh.


Rihanna, Rihanna Rihanna. I was being truly open minded about her performing but I don't like her performance, she just cannot sing so why didn't they save her and play the track? I like the creativity of the set though. I don't like the outfit she wore, I know it was supposed to match the "madhouse" feel but no.
