The American Music Awards, one of the four major annual American Music awards shows. The other being The Billboard Awards, the Grammy Awards, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. The AMA's were first created in 1973 by infamous Dick Clark to compete with the Grammys.
Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond were honored to co-host the first AMA's. The AMA winners are determined by a poll of music buyers. The shows all compete for prestige and popularity. Wining a category in the AMA's, the Billboards, and the Grammys is like a triple crown winner in horse racing.
This years awards went as followed.

Now what is it about these awards that lures people to watch? Or do people even watch? Why do we allow other "important" people in the music industry to choose the winners for us? Why are we more obsessed about what people wear to these award shows than we are that other people are choosing who "we...the people" think should win. I feel that it is unfair that the shows are put on under false pretense with what we want to see, rather than what is real. Sadly, these awards shows are for the celebs themselves to gain yet another object for them to worship and lose more modesty over. However, we watch the shows, even if only to see what they show up in, every year. Antisipation for disappointment year after year.

I once saw a list of all the winners of the Grammy award for most promising artist, along with an artist that "broke" that year but was ignored by the Grammies. Artists like Milli Vanilli were on the first list, while artists like U2 were on the second.
I haven't given a hoot about the Grammies since then.
