Anybody else on here gonna watch it?

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys are slated to perform. Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Green Day, Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston, etc.

Hov and Alicia Keys' performance should be good.

I'm not watching because MJ has 5 awards he is up for. Tho he hasn't had a god song is like 1986. Stupid.

I gotta admit, as big of a fan of Jackson's GOOD music (pretty much anything before 1993), I also find him being up for 5 awards odd. BUT, I also don't know the awards, or the circumstances surrounding them...I do imagine that whatever they are, he wouldn't be nominated if he was alive?

Which is where I'd have a problem, like, it's not like Heath Ledger who was lights out (poor choice of words?) as the Joker and deserved a nomination, and IMO, deserved the win.

I do want to see Whitney Houston perform...the odd thing about Keys and Jay-Z, I've enjoyed the performances of that song more when Bridget Kelly sings with him. And I do like Keys, and she adds a great element to the song, but I haven't loved it live with her. I'm going to DVR it, I'm actually kind of warming to Carrie Underwood, I got to review her album when it came out and I went into it rolling my eyes, but it's a pretty decent pop record. Wouldn't call it "Country"...but...splitting hairs...

I've never been a big fan of "awards" programs. It's just the "entertainment" industry doing some self-aggrandizing.

Is Kanye West banned from the awards? I will definately not be watching.

Probably not banned, but he's, at last check, not in the states, so he wouldn't be attending anyway.

Janet Jackson is going to open the show with an 8 minute performance.

Michael is up for the following awards.

Artist of the Year
Soul/RB Favorite Male Artist
Pop/Rock Favorite Male Artist
Soul/RB Favorite Album
Pop/Rock Favorite Album

I'll probably try to watch some of it. I want to see what MJ is nominated for and if he wins. Loves me some Michael.

Yikes, really?

Color me insensitive, but I hope he doesn't win any of those.

Again, not because I dislike him, I actually am a big fan of his music, but because he wouldn't have even been a factor if he was alive.

But, he will likely win at least 3, if not all of those.

I dunno, I'm all for honoring the death of people, I thought the people complaining about the coverage MJ's death got were being a bit whiny...but, I don't think it's fair to take it to the level of awarding something undeserving that could go to someone more deserving.

Artist of the Year Nominees
Kings of Leon
Taylor Swift
Lady Gaga
Eminem
Michael Jackson

Soul/RB Favorite Male Artist Nominees
Jamie Foxx
Michael Jackson
Maxwell

Pop/Rock Favorite Male Artist Nominees
Eminem
Michael Jackson
T.I.

Soul/RB Favorite Album Nominees
I Am...Sasha Fierce - Beyonce
The E.N.D. - The Black Eyed Peas
Number Ones - Michael Jackson

Pop/Rock Favorite Album Nominees
Fame - Lady Gaga
Number Ones - Michael Jackson
Fearless - Taylor Swift

I say he wins Pop/Rock Male Artist, and Soul/RB Male Artist.

Fan voting decides who wins the awards, so it wouldnt surprise me to see Michael get a clean sweep.

Pop/rock...eminem? TI? This award show sucks.

I'm becoming increasingly disenfranchised with entertainment award show, the music industries in particular.

Yeeeaaahhh....I forgot the AMA's were the fan decided ones.

MJ will likely get 5/5, I agree.

But, I thought his Number Ones album came out in like 2003?

To each his/her own, but I will not be watching any of the Awards Show. It's just not my music.

If I remember correctly, Ones did come out in '03.

Never watched one in my life. Not about to start.

I'll probably tune in for Jay Z and Alicia.... other than that, not a whole lot I care about

Janet Jackson up first....

Great another performance from Janet where she isn't singing one word of her song.

Genie pants and lip syncing. Awesome.

Black Eyed Peas one the first award
Rascal Flatts wins favorite country group

Oh wow someone is actually singing on an awards show

Daltrey? haha

I'm not watching, is it Roger Daltrey....or Daughtry??

I'm seriously asking.

NVM, just clicked there, and was let down.

Hov and Alicia Keys on now
