I can't help but be suspicious of these MJ nominations. Aren't they're ratings down? Do they need viewership? Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

If MJ does win I wonder which Jackson would collect them? | |

Fuckers never appreciated MJ when he was alive, and he could have used some new trophys to take people's focus off his private life.
As happy as I should be, with each day going by, I just get more bitter. Where were all these people honoring Michael, June 24th? Assholes!  [Edited 10/13/09 12:01pm] MJ Fan 1992-Forever

[Edited 10/13/09 12:01pm] I feel the same. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

For NEW music, sure. But to nominate him for songs that already won awards 20 years ago? I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift are gonna win in the main categories I think. Maxwell will get the R&B one, and Jay will get the rap one. They're doing the MJ nods for ratings, fuck that. | |

Let's hope Kanye isn't there if Taylor wins. | |

The AMA's are based on sales and airplay, to be fair folks would be complaining if MJ wasn't a contender for those reasons.
Funny that a 6yr old album containing songs 20 to 30yrs old should be up, but that's hardly Michaels fault! |

I for one am quite happy with myself for not owning any of these "Artist". The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

THE $25,000 QUESTION: Should Lady Gaga OR Taylor Swift feel disappointed AND cheated when they lose to Michael in The Artist Of The Year category?!?
Come on orgers. AMA is a Dick Clark production. And we all know that Dick was close to Michael & Janet. The show will be fixed, I promise you. | |
