The 2008 American Music Awards: Recap

Okay, I think you all should know that I'm not an award show fan. Unless my favorite performing artist are performing, I could care less. Being in the fashion industry forces me to watch red carpet fashions...which isn't soo bad. It's those long awards shows that pick favorites and give people like Rihanna an award.

And I know, 'everyone loves Rihanna'. Yes, she's beautiful and has style. But she can't sing (especially live), and she doesn't dance. She kinda just stands there on stage with great costumes on, sounding like a dying goat. And If I want dying goat, I listen to Shakira (whom I LOVE).

So, I picked my favorites to talk about. So here it goes....

Queen Latifah did a little MC work. Very nostalgic. Loved her ensembles for the night. She did a collabo with Alicia Keys, and another woman who I'm assuming is a legendary opera singer. This was the show's closer, so I didn't get all the info.

Scott Weiland introduced Pink, and he was LIT!!!! However, he did a great job reading the teleprompter. I would've been like 'f*ck aaaaaaaalllll of y'all' if I were drunk.

Pink was singing about some sh*t that f*cked her up...it's either that or her talkin' crap about another Hollywood tramp a la Hilton. I'm not a Pink fan, so this was the first time I heard the song. She did a good performance, but the b*tch needs some therapy.

Okay, I heard that New Kids On the Block were reuniting. I thought it was the corniest thing I ever heard. However, when they performed a medley of their old hits, I got teary eyed. I remember hangin' tough....and Donnie was my FAVORITE. But now he has a MAD COW LICK. Still, good job boys!

Ne-Yo did a great job. The dancer in red (lower right hand corner) was awesome.

Happy Birthday Miley. She tried to rip it up. It was good, but I think she just wanted to perform and get the hell out of there so she can go celebrate her birthday with her peps.

Christina Aguilera performed as the opening act. They should've closed it. She f*cked up on Genie In a Bottle slightly. She really didn't sing or dance. She mostly just did her usual "ohhhhh yeahhhh YEAAAAH OOOOOOOOOO". Waste of time. Go burp your baby.

Beyonce, Beyonce. To be honest, I only watched to see if she was gonna do something HOT. Basically it was the same caliber as the Good Morning America (or Today Show...one of those morning shows that middle aged mothers let their child skip school to see someone perform in the cold-a*s New York Winter). Her energy was high, but it wasn't worth watching 2 hours of bull-shit to wait for. You know what? I always have these high expectations for Beyonce, and she always leaves me feeling kinda jipped. Even when it was a good performance. I just believe that she can do better, and she never really goes to that level. Over hype much.

All in all, the show sucked. I could've been working out instead of watching and hoping.
