I can see why MJ was nominated for several awards. And it has nothing to do with paying homage to him (although I’m sure they’ll do that as well). The AMAs based their nominations on actual record sales. At the AMAs, it’s possible to win an award for an album that came out years ago if the record started some real heat during the current year. Right after MJ died, people started buying his records again, and shot him back to the top. He’s still on top on iTunes. So it’s only fair that gets some recognition for that.

People can bitch all they want. Thing is, that album’s sold more than anybody.

And Michael hosted the first AMA’s.

Every award show is going to pay tribute and homage to him in some way. Let them do their way. ugh.

Grammy’s, yall should start planning.

Britney got snubbed, period. She had the highest grossing tour of 2009 in the U.S., she had the second biggest opening week sales for a female artist last year and two huge top ten singles (one of them being “Womanizer” which went #1). I understand that the AMA’s nominates differently than alot of other award shows but there is no reason why Britney shouldn’t be nominated for atleast one award.

I also don’t blame them for not giving Kanye any nominations.
