2009 AMA Awards Predictions

Posted by Lady Mel On Thursday, November 19, 2009 0 comments

Here are my predictions. The ones in bold blue are my top picks. The ones in bold gold are my second, runner-up picks because I could not decide the sole winner of each category. I will discuss about the biggest awards only because if I have to talk about each and every category, my writing will be as long as the Oscars each year!

Lets start with the Artist of the Year category. The King of Pop will be the big winner of the night. He is up for five nominations this year. I really want Lady Gaga to win this particular award because she has an incredible year and she is about to start her world tour, but since Michael Jackson's untimely death (R.I.P MJ) was the story of the summer and that he has been the most influential pop icon of the past thirty years, I will not be surprised if he will win Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist, and Best R&B Album. Note that I want Maxwell to win for Favorite Male Artist, but come on. The fans are going to pick MJ instead.

There is also some gossip floating around that if Michael Jackson was not dead, he would have not been even nominated in the first place because he technically did not release a new album on the radio. It's true. Look who won the Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture at this year's Academy Awards. The late Heath Ledger. If the AMA Awards can get Janet Jackson to perform the opening act for eight minutes, MJ is expected to win big.

Secondly, I think Taylor Swift will be the other big winner at Sunday's awards ceremonial. She will defiantly win the Favorite Country Female Artist, Favorite Country Album, and Favorite Adult Comptemporary Artist awards, although she will have some stiff competition with Beyonce and Lady Gaga in the Favorite Female Pop Artist category for two obvious reasons: 1.) Lady Gaga is only nominated three times this year and she has more potential to win this award or the Breakthrough Artist Award; although her album is very good, I know the fans will not pick her debut album over Michael's Number Ones album in the Favorite Pop Album category. If she is robbed of this Best Pop Female or the Breakthough Artist Award, I am going to kill ABC. (I hate you ABC for cancelling a perfectly, awesome show!) 2.) Lady Gaga has been EVERYWHERE this year selling her music and intriguing us with her iconoclastic, yet awesome fashion sense and musical talent. But! There is a but. I think it is a woman's intuition, but Taylor Swift will get the award. *sighs*

Beyonce will not be voted Favorite Female Pop Artist. Yes, Single Ladies was an Internet and pop phenomenon when it hit the airways late last October, but her videos after her first Sasha Fierce hit has gone downhill. If you want to see her newest video, scroll down to yesterday's blog post. Overall, she will win the Best Female R&B Artist instead. Watch the AMA Awards this Sunday night to see if my predictions came true!

2009 American Music Awards Preview

Posted by Lady Mel On Sunday, November 15, 2009 1 comments

Ok, I admit it. I do not watch the AMA awards at all. I am more of a Grammys, MTV VMAs type of girl. I usually perceive it as a two to three hour worthless piece of crap. But, I've heard on Youtube's The Skorpion Show (shoutout to Kevin and Makael!) that this year's AMA Awards is going to be amazing!

"Amazing" is not even a word to describe it. It will be extraordinarily fabulous! Janet Jackson is going to open up the show with an eight-minute, highly- anticipated performance. Eight minutes! Yes, feel the adrenaline rushing though your veins! This is J.A.N.E.T J.A.C.K.S.O.N. Pop royalty at its finest. I know she is going to tribute this performance to her fans and audience in remembrance of her older brother, the King of Pop. I know it will be spectacular. Maybe she might bring us to her "Rhythm Nations" days. You never know. This is the eight minutes that she deserves after all she has been going through these past couple of years.

However, Janet is not the only artist that will be performing on this wonderful night. Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, a Alicia Keys and Jay Z debut!, Lady Gaga, Shakira, Whitney Houston, the Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, and Taylor Swift are just some of the biggest names that will be showcasing their talent and music on stage. If Lady Gaga is going to perform, I will watch. She's the new it-girl in town.

Can you believe it?! Whitney Houston, after her drug episodes with her crackhead ex-husband Bobby Brown is going to return to her singing roots?! I am glad she is making a comeback. I hope she shows the Keri Hilson, Rihanna, and Britney Spears fans what is a diva is! Rihanna is also going to perform after recovering from her public, abusive relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown. She will probably sing "Russian Roulette" or her other singles from her new album. I just hope that with her months of seclusion, Rihanna knows how to perform because honestly she always come across to me as this pretty face without the performing flare. Make it work, Rhianna.

This will be probably be the awards show of the year to end a year of tragedy, musical hits, and drama in the music industry. That is why I've decided to get more involved with writing material about these big award shows this season. By next Sunday or Monday of next week, my full review of the show will be posted on this blog. I hope I see a freshness and a passion in each and every performance. Otherwise, I am going to talk about that artist until there is nothing left to talk about. The 37th Annual American Music Awards is next Sunday, November 22nd at 8pm EST on ABC. Find out about this year's nominees are here. Be ready.
