American Music Awards

What a gorgeous mess! This show was so divine and something the VMA's could never be...it was actually watchable!

Where should we begin? There were several amazing stand out performances done by our divas. The Rihanna / Ne-Yo duet was sensational. Ms. Carter (Oh no I didn't!) looked stunning and sounded pitch perfect. And what about her rival Ms. Beyonce singing with Sugarland? I don't know who that front-trannie of Sugarland is, but she sure is twangy...and tangy! It was a lovely twist on a contemporary classic. Ms. Celine also turned it out in the only way that French Canadian crazy ass knows how...as a spectacle! So much chest thumping and arm raising! Screw Pilates! Do the Celine! Because she's the greatest singah in zee wurrrrl!

And Ms. Alicia? Her reggae inspired interpretation of her new hot single "No One" got my weave in a frenzy! We also have to give some props to the Queen of Soul...Ms. Mary! The poppy single "So Fine" was lovely and she worked it!

Oh and a big shout out to Ms. Chris Brown. He sure can dance like he's got crabs in his pants. Well...

And now...on to the shit talking...

What was up with that set? Is it 1984? That hot mess was speckled with bad taste.

It also seemed to be the night of wacky weaves. You know who I'm talking about! Remember back in elementary school when on a random Friday, it would be Crazy Hat Day? Well, tonight must have been Crazy-Ass-Wack-Ass-Yo-It-Looks-Like-Ass-Weave Day! Ms. Alicia???!! What's happening with that crazy front braid? Maybe it's Backwards Day! It was a complete distraction from her otherwise flawless performance. And Ms. Mary was rockin some short blond weave. It was short and sassy but something was a bit off. And Ms. Queen "I don't eat pussy THAT MUCH" Latifah also rocked some blond Jennifer Aniston circa 1996 Friends haircut weave. Did these ladies consult the hairdresser of Las Vegas? That would explain so much. Overheard backstage was "Well, you see, I got my weave done by the same queen who does Siegfried and Roy's weaves..."

Overall, the show was good although Ms. Jimmy Kimmel was a bit boring. So much of his banter was overly contrived and forced. I did, however, enjoy his closing statement: "And thanks to the Promises Rehab Center for getting so many of our stars out in time for the show". Loves!
