The American Music Awards
Jennifer Lopez fell on her butt. Whitney Houston made a triumphant return and Michael Jackson won an potload of awards even though he hadn’t had a new CD in years.
Yup, it was just another night at the American Music Awards.
Among the observations:
1. Taylor Swift has to quit with the “I’m so surprised” routine. Accept the awards.
2. Keith Urban recycled his shirt. He wore it a couple of weeks ago at another awards ceremony.
3. Bare stomachs (on men and women) were in.
4. Fergie was not with her husband at the ceremony. Are those rumors true?
5. Janet Jackson grabbed a dancer’s crotch. Was she trying to even the score with Justin Timberlake?
6. Mary J. Blige and Perez Hilton had the same hairdo. (She rocked it; he didn’t.)
7. Why did Eminem look taped? Wasn’t that a concept that didn’t work on the MTV Awards?
8. Paula’s Back! And she looked and sounded good. Can’t the “Idol” folks rethink their decision?
9. Who decides what color microphone the singers get? Mary J had white, J Lo had gold.
10. If Taylor Swift could accept the awards from London, why couldn’t she sing a little song from there, too? Even Amy Winehouse did it at the Grammys and she wasn’t clicking on all cylinders.
One more: Adam Lambert. What up with that? The Glambert looked like he was auditioning for “The Rocky Horror Show.” The song wasn’t that good. And the staging? Um…what was he thinking? Even Simon might have disapproved.
