Pitbull for Pop/Rock??Lil Wayne for the main award??It's all about the same people over and over again, no variety, no experimentation.But it is just so damn amusing when American awards try to act "cool" and get a hip hop category only to include the 4 people that hip hop fans either consider gimmicks or sell-out's.I LOVE it

Anyway, I will be checking for the awards, only for the performances, not for the nominations.The nods and the winners have been a mess in all award shows for a couple of years, so it's all about the performers

Would agree with your taylor predications, would be dissapointed if she dont pick all three up, but with awards shows it dont always go as planned.
Not bothered about the others

Guess we'll have to wait to see who's going/performing to determine who's actually in the running to win.

It's almost as if the producers don't care people know that the voting is rigged.

I'd love her to win them

Think she could win two of them, the country ones, probs not the first one though where she's up against GaGa and Adele though

What a joke. Adele for Pop/Rock?

I wouldn't call Loud a Soul/R&B album. I

Just a correction, it looks like Adele is nominated for four:

Pop or Rock: Favorite Female Artist
Pop or Rock: Favorite Album
Adult Contemporary: Favorite Artist
Artist of the Year

It's completely fan voted, so I'm not holding my breath that she'll win any-especially since it's highly unlikely she'll be performing, either.

You know what?Let me give it a try, just for the sake of it!!

ARTIST OF THE YEAR:
Adele (not a fan, but she deserves it)

Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist:
http://images4.fanpop.com/image/phot...32-300-184.gif
Bruno is the only tolerable one in the bunch and the only one whose potential win wouldn't be a laughable disaster.

Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist:
Adele

Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group:
Maroon 5 (not keen on them, but the other 2 nominees are not worthy of an award)

Favorite Pop/Rock Album:
Adele, 21 (it makes me yawn, but it's the defining album of 2011, so objectively...)

Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist:
Kanye West

Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album:
http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp...e64ko1_400.gif
I'll say 'Pink Friday' even though it's Hip-POP only because it was the first successful album by a female mc in years.I dislike it, though.

Favorite Male Soul/R&B Artist:
Chris Brown (regardless of his behaviour, his album is amazng)

Favorite Female Soul/R&B Artist:
None of them are 100% soul.So many brilliant soul females this year, yet only the mainstream ones are nominated Beyonce deserves it for her unreleased tracks and Kelly deserves it for 'Motivation'.I'll choose Kelly, though, because 'Motivation' slayed the rhythmic and pop radio and brought the slow jams BACK!

Favorite Soul/R&B Album:
Chris Brown, F.A.M.E.

Favorite Latin Artist:
Jennifer Lopez

So it's totally fan-based voting and Adele won't be singing due to her throat problems? She may be nominated for 4 awards but she won't win even one, lol.

It's only the AMA's, not the grammys. Who cares if Adele walks away with a handful of nothing

The AMA's aren't even on par with the Brits.

It is fan voted and considering taylor massive tour at present in the US she could get a lot of votes.
But lets be honest a lot of it is rigged and sometimes its the artists that the shows organisers feel with give them the biggest publicity that win, so guess gaga will win the lot.

You have to take awards shows with a pinch of salt especially a show like this which some may say is a bit mickey mouse.

Once we know who is gonna be there and performing guess we have most of the winners

I would much rather taylor clean up at the Country music award shows then this TBH more meaningful.
