Somewhere, someone decided that if one awards show was good 13 were better and now none of them are good. Well tonight one of the elder statesman of music awards is on....the American Music Awards. I missed the first 20 mins of the show but once I tuned in some confusion immediately overtook me. Paris Hilton and T-Pain (how do these rappers come up with these names?) are presenting an award. Paris says something about 'leavy metal' singers and they announce the nominees.
The first person they show on the montage is Chris Brown. WTH? Then they show Kid Rock and U(r)sher as the other nominees....The only heavy metal in this category are the 9mm or PBR cans these guys are packing! They show the category as they announce the winner of the Pop/Rock Singer...Pop/Rock? Seriously? Who comes up with these categories and who the hell wrote the introduction that talks about heavy metal?
I'm truly convinced that these awards shows are run by people who have zero connection to the music business. How the hell do you name a category Pop/Rock and nominate Kid Rock, U(r)sher, and Chris Brown? Well, CB won and proceeds to thank everyone and their brother while T-Pain stands there holding CB's award smiling from ear to ear with this gold teeth and saying 'thanks to all the haters'. Pop/Rock? Heavy Metal? Earth to the AMA's.....Someone needs to make you actually listen to a CD and/or the radio before you are concoct these crazy categories and nominations.....
