 RAP/HIP-HOP
Favorite Band, Duo or Group:
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Pretty Ricky
Shop Boyz
Winner: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
They thanked God and their music family. The fans got some praise, too. Bone Thugs N Harmony is the only group here that I am overly familiar with. I am glad they won, because I really like their new song…even if I didn’t know they were the ones singing it.

 Favorite Male Artist:
Akon
Timbaland
Justin Timberlake
Winner: Justin Timberlake
I was typing this out before they said his name. He is the hottest thing in music these days. He was touring so they had him on over the satellite. He was in scrubs, but he looked good. He cracked a joke, made his thanks quick, and then Kid Rock came out to beat up Jimmy Kimmel (I guess you had to be there.)
Favorite Female Artist:
Beyonce
Fergie
Avril Lavigne
Winner: Fergie

 Soul & R&B Winners for the AMAs:
SOUL/RHYTHM & BLUES
Favorite Male Artist:
Akon
Ne-Yo
T-Pain
Winner: Akon
I was stuck with this category. I like Akon and Ne-Yo a lot, and T-Pain isn’t so bad either. It was awesome to see Akon win. This was his first AMA win. He looked pretty good. He was wearing a coat that went to his knees and a basic white shirt underneath. Akon offered the award to T-Pain on stage and they had a little laugh on stage about Akon’s offer to give it to him. T said he would take it, because Akon doesn’t have room for any more awards on his television. Don’t you hate when you run out of room in that spot? I know I do.
Favorite Female Artist:
Beyonce
Fantasia
Rihanna

 What She Sang: A Reggae Mix (I missed the name of the song she sang -corrected thanks to help from a commenter) featuring her new song, “No One”
What She Wore: Alicia was looking hot, as usual. She was at her piano. She had a bluish-grey pantsuit on and she looked great with her hair down.
Performance Value: Alicia is one of the best performers today. Her voice is phenomenal. She seems so at home up on stage, though she gave off a slight tremble that I noticed near the beginning. She had some help with Junior Reid and Chaka Demus. As you might expect, I think that this one is going to be the performance of the night. Not a big surprise with Alicia. When the guys were singing she was getting funky with the dancers to the hot reggae beats.

 What He Sang: I’ll Be Waiting
What She Wore: A leather jacket, sun glasses, and traditional black jeans or pants.
Performance Value: Lenny was at the piano. I love it when they play and sing. It doesn’t even matter who, pianos are just plain sexy. He had a full band behind him. I had never heard the song. I don’t listen to enough Lenny apparently. The song wasn’t bad. It was slow/mid-paced song and it might have just convinced me to go buy the CD. Lenny got into the song and was belting out some lyrics. It was an amazing performance for Lenny and one of the best so far tonight.

 What She Sang: Taking Chances
What She Wore: A simple white dress with jeweled top and plenty of fringes. Her hair was down and simple. She looked good, especially when you take her age into account (not that she’s that old, but she’s not young either.)
Performance Value: Celine has been in Vegas for a few years and now she’s off on a World Tour in the New Year. The song is not one I would have expected her to sing. It had a bit of a rock-ish edge to it and she just doesn’t strike me that way. I guess that’s what Taking Chances is all about. I am not sure I loved it, but like her or not, she is the top selling female artist in the world for a reason. She did this sexy dance thing towards the end, and her porn face made me giggle. That’s all I am saying.

 What She Sang: Umbrella & a Duet with Ne-Yo (Hate that I love You So)
What She Wore: A flapper girl (ish – or maybe it looked like an Indian Pricess?) tight and flowing dress. She looked the best out of all female singers to date that hit the stage. Her makeup was done to perfection, which helped her stand out from the rest.
Performance Value: Taye Diggs announced Rihanna and let me just say…meow. He had that classic Hollywood look going on with glasses. Oh, wait. This is about Rihanna isn’t it? Let’s see she was dressed like a flapper girl with makeup. She sounded fabulous. She had an orchestra behind her. The new song is hot, though I had never heard the name of it prior to this. I will definitely be checking it out. Her microphone had some brass knuckle style bling going on, which was also hot. Ne-Yo sounded amazing; they made an awesome team on this collaboration. I had heard him before, but I don’t think I ever really heard him, if you know what I mean. Wow. This performance was just amazing.

 What They Sang: I have no idea. SOS – I think
What They Wore: Random meterosexual wear from Walmart. Mustard colors, scarves, white suits, and the like.
Performance Value: Who are these guys? Apparently I don’t watch the Disney Channel enough or something. Jordin Sparks led them out and said they were teen idols and they brought out some little teenagers to dance around them, but you seriously have to be kidding me. First, one of the little dork’s looks like Sanjaya from American Idol. Next, you can’t understand anything the lead nerd is singing. There is this random screaming (from the band, not the 12 year old bitches they brought in). It sucked. Holy Crap it sucked like majorly. It wins the “this sucked” award of the night.

 What She Sang: Hot
What She Wore: She had on a t-shirt and a long skirt. It wasn’t all that impressive. She looked like she could have been going to K-Mart and not the AMAs.
Performance Value: Is it just me or does Avril think she is Paris of the music world? The neon pink microphone gave me a headache looking at it. The sneakers weren’t kicking with the outfit, but then the whole outfit sucked. You could tell she thought she sounded so good.
Personally, I thought the song sucked. I wasn’t loving it, though I do like a couple of her songs. She missed a note or two too. She pulled the microphone off the stand and started to try and belt out some shit and well, that’s just what it sounded like. Shit.

 FAVORITE BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST NOMINEES:
Daughtry
Plain White T’s
Robin Thicke
Winner: Daughtry
Carrie Underwood gave out this award and while the bitch is hotter than hell I just have to ask one thing. What the fuck was she wearing? It looked like a bird died on her mini-dress or were those flowers? I don’t know but it was loud, to say the least. She looked hot otherwise though, as usual.
I will admit I was rooting for Daughtry, so I was thrilled that they won. It always thrills me when they win, since the American Idol thing where they chose Taylor Hicks to win season five. He thanked the fans after kissing his wife, and the band members chilled behind him and let Chris speak. They showed his wife and wow! Let’s just say the cleavage shot the camera man gave, said volumes.
