Gotta love Corb! Came here this morning and to your Journal blog looking to find your comments on the AMA last night! :( Maybe you are smarter than I am and decided not to waste 3 hours of your life. Ok, they were a few shining moments...about ten minutes worth.
ReplyDeleteI only watched about five minutes of the AMAs -- I had to turn it off when Jermaine's son, Jermajesty, was introduced. (Jermajesty, really?) I did like will.i.am's wig, though ... and as for what I've heard about the Glambert scandal, I'm totally supportive of his performance. If Madonna can be raunchy, why not Glambert? (I think we have more important things to get riled up about, but then again, this is the U.S. we are talking about.) What did you think of the AMAs?
ReplyDeleteI watched the AMAs in their entirety. Have to agree with you that the "Jermajesty" intro was a big turnoff; one big bizarre family that is!I think my fave performance of the night was Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, which is saying something because I am not even a rap fan, but that (Empire State of Mind) is a catchy tune, her voice is extraordinary, and I liked seeing all those grand pianos lined up and being played all at the same time. I was a fan of Adam Lambert's vocals during American Idol (I admit I got sucked into watching it, forgive me)so I was really looking forward to hearing him at the AMAs...very disappointing, vocals were terrible....the "performance"...hmmmm....over the top publicity stunt basically IMO...no one who saw it will EVER forget Glambert, and isn't that what he and his record company want?! So it served its purpose. If he did that same performance live at his concert , big deal...but I am not so sure it was the right thing to do (simulated oral sex) on tv...I have seen Ozzie, Rob Zombie, etc, live in concert and nothing they did ever came close to being as controversial as Glambert's sexually packed performance.... so as I said it is unforgetable, and I think that was his point.
