American Music Awards 2009
The expectations were high for the American Music Awards because of their long list of high profile performers and the show did not disapoint. Janet Jackson abrio el show con su medley de hits pero que traia puesto? Y la nueva cancion, como que no. Shakira trajo el drill team and did an awesome show with “Give It Up to Me” and those beats are off the hook thanks to Timbaland, scheduled to perform with her was Lil Wayne who ended up not showing up but Shakira still had one of the best performances of the night, that choreography and the beats make that song very very catchy. Black Eyed Peas did a medley of “Meet Me Halfway” and “Boom Boom Pow” and they have the energy to pump up the crowd and turn it up to a higher level. Lady Gaga’s was half good, I love “Bad Romance” but WTF with the outfits and skull masks, I did like the piano part with “Speechless” , burning piano and breaking glass bottles, it must be a break-up song. What about Rihanna? She rocked it out, it started a bit weak with the first song “Wait Your Turn” but once she started with “Hard” she brought it all, also one of my favorites. Closing the night, surprisingly Adam Lambert, who went over the top and put his sexuality all in the face of America, which will probably hurt him, but I loved it…he pushed the envelope just the right way to demonstrate he is a true creative artist but also has the vocals to back it all up. What else, what else…oh, the ass dropped heard around the world…well, only in the east coast because it was edited in the west coast, but Ms. J-Lo fell on her ass while trying be hard hip hop and dance like a fly girl, ummm Jenny, you’re 40. If the song was really good, we probably would’ve looked passed the performance but no, the song is not good. Oh well, there’s always her movie career…oh, sorry…well, there’s always Marc Anthony’s singing, he’s still good. Others that performed were Jay Z/Alicia Keys (singing about NY in LA, come on, even that idiot Arod got booed for his intro), Kelly Clarkson (love love that song, she kept it nice & simple, Carrie Underwood (cool song but WTF with the outfit), Alicia Keys (yes, she sang again and it was a her new single which is not that good), and some other people which were pretty forgetable. Ok…last thing so Kris Allen (remember, this year’s American Idol winner) was there presenting and probably seeting in the audience and “loser” Adam Lambert was the talk of the night…AND Kris’ cd came out last week, you didn’t know? Yea, I don’t think anyone else did. Any who…On my way to Target, CD releases were moved up to today: SHAKIRA, RIHANNA, ADAM LAMBERT, LADY GAGA, and others.
