I half watched it.

I kept going back and forth between the AMAs and Bar Rescue.

Saw Jlo and thought she was pretty good except for the thousand & one dancers.

Although I did like when they would block her so she could do costume changes on the stage.

Not one damn minute of that crap.

It sucked. It was pop asskissers unanimous.

Hell no! And besides, the AMA hasn't been the same after 1993 at least.

Pretty awful. But then again, I'm not a teenager so I know nothing about the flavor of the week. But here are my thoughts:

Pitbull should not host awards shows.

Rihanna - an ICON award???

TLC should not perform live anymore.

Lady Gaga/R.Kelly was decent.

Sara Silverman was the highlight for me.

Timberlake did a good job.Miley and Ga Ga surprisingly good. TLC has lost a step but still love em

Nope, didn't watch. Didn't really want to.

I enjoyed watching the show yesterday. Jennifer Lopez did a great performance/tribute to Celia Cruz.

1: Because I said so. 2: I've already seen to warning signs that the show was going downhill since 1993, hence more reasons why I don't take award shows too seriously. My professional opinion. F*** the AMA. End of story.

The AMA's are the popularity contest. Always have been.

I watched the performances-Miley did a good job -just minus the cheesy early 80's vibe video background.

And R. kelly just comes off pervy and not in a cool way.

The show was ok.

What were the first signs that it was going downhill?

Boy Bands?

BRITNEY?

Lip syncing?

sign of the times? or sign u r getting old?

Rihanna winning an icon award was just embarrasing..

Did anyone over the age of 25 win an award??

Me thinks the Music Industry can be accused of age discrimination.

Pretty much everyaward show is slowly tearning into the Teen Choice Awards...

AMAs were created by Dick Clark.

The winners are chosen based on sales,

airplay and social media activity.

Yeah it's a popularity contest.

Is that a bad thing?

It's just an excuse to have a TV show.

Correct me if i'm wrong (i really am unsure) arent the AMA's just based off of "votes" now?
