Actually, the AMA's is more accurate then the MTV and Grammys are.

 

I say this because AMA's dont make up a pretense that it's honoring the "best" but rather "America's favorites". Still a bunch of shit there but It's more honest then the Grammy's.

Is there ANYTHING that's actually rock in there?

You can predict most of the winners by looking at the categorial album and artist nominees and then seeing if they rank in the "big awards". Mariah Carey looks to be walking away with at least two awards unless she is shut out COMPLETELY.

Christ, what a shitty list of nominees. This one took the cake though.

Cannot believe I'm saying this...but come on Coldplay.

 

Now I have to go sit in the shower for a few hours after saying that.

Fuck.

It took me a moment to remember who that is.

 

I usually pay attention to the AMA nominees each year but these are completely under-whelming. I couldn't care less who wins.

None of those bands are alternative.

Well 50 Cent isn't rock/pop and last time I checked Maroon 5 isn't adult contemporary.

 

I think the AMA's just decided they didn't feel like writing a bunch of different names and gave up by the time they got to the rock/pop catergories.

Maroon 5, that is.  It was supposed to quote you, and it didn't work, and I don't feel like fixing it.

 

I'll tell you when I figure it out. They feel more pop than Adult Contemp.

I mean come on, AC is Nora Jones, Michael Bolton, Celine Dion and John Mayer.

There is no way Maroon 5 fits in that.
