Firstly, I CANNOT BELIEVE it's been a YEAR since we've seen a very overtired Fleetwood Mac on the chairs in their hotel live via satellite from Germany win an AMA.

Now onto the topic. I've just turned it on. Jessica Simpson? Please take a lesson from your sister and lip sync. That was absolutely horrible. Just stand there and look pretty, sweetie because you can't sing unless your in a studio and someone is pushing buttons :nod:

I'm sure this thread will expand as more people do well or suck. Too bad there's no Fleetwood Mac to look forward to this year.

I don't think she's horrible. I'd rather watch her again than this crap. Snoop Dog and Pharrell. I'm still laughing at the thought of Lindsey, Stevie, and Pharrell in a studio together with Vanessa Carlton. I wonder if Pharrel taught Stevie how to pop it like it's hot :laugh:

You and me both. Not to mention I missed the entire reason why I wanted to watch this show...Gwen Stefani <3 I thought this came on at 9 and not 8 and I just missed her.

Bri, I'll let you know :laugh:

It was okay. She opened the show, but it wasn't anything special. She just sang in front of an Alice in Wonderland set. :cool:

I did see her AOL session but honestly, I like her video better for the whole Alice In Wonderland theme. It just rocks. I think it's bizarre though that some radio stations are editing the song while others aren't. I really don't think "take a chance you stupid ho" is that bad.

And yes, i'm surprised Sheryl won two awards as well. I wonder if Stevie's there. There seem to be a lot of people in the audience that aren't up for anything.

Yes, her video is very good. Did you see Making The Video? That was pretty cool.

It annoys me how they edit "ho" from the song. That's what bothered me about the AOL sessions performance. Did they edit "ho" at the awards tonight?

I don't know if they edited it out tonight (ya know since I suck and I missed it) but that truly bugs me.

The burrito thing...I think she was nervous and hungry and I guess someone went and got her a burrito?

Ho is just describing herself anyway. She's not talking about someone else. The editing is just stupid. I missed her performance by 5 minutes. I am so pissed. If anyone can get footage, please share! I have been looking and nada.

Newsflash, Gretchen Wilson totally didn't sing. Where were the back up singers and her guitar playing wasn't real either. I was really disappointed.

ANNA Nicole! LOL! Cocaine diet indeed.

I'm like, 99.9% certain Gretchen was singing live and they dubbed in her backing vocals (it's her backing herself).

I only saw bits and pieces of the show. Saw the beginning- Gwen was okay. Her song is amazing, she almost channels Lene Lovich in it, and it held up better live than I thought it would.

I actually snorted at the Snoop Dogg bake sale joke at the beginning, then felt dirty and had to stop.

Gretchen was singing. She doesn't lip-synch. The backup vocals were a pre-recorded backing track, but she was singing. I love Gretchen. She funds my paychecks every week, for which I'm eternally grateful, and she's a completely talented, completely nice person. If anyone's a fan of hers- we just put out a new special edition of her album last Tuesday that has some extra tracks, a DVD, etc.- very cool.

The AMAs are so dumb.

Janet

11-14-2004, 11:51 PM

It didn't look like she was singing, but I am not a fan so I wouldn't know. I am sorry if I stepped on any toes. It just didn't look real!

Terribley boring show - the audience looked like they were about to fall asleep.

Gwen was good, but I hate the song. Maybe it will grow on me.

I missed Anna, I flipped to the Bills game for a bit. Shouldn't have bothered, as they were getting their asses kicked again. Anna would have been more entertaining.

Jessica is an awesome singer - when she isn't totally exaggerating every single word & note. She's been doing this for the last year or 2 & it really bugs me, it sounds awful.

The sound was terrible for Bon Jovi, all I could hear was the high harmony (which sounded out of tune.) And what was with John thanking everyone for HIS award, wasn't it for the band?

I like Gretchen, I thought she was good.

Paula

PS - Is it me, or was Diana Ross drunk? Seriously, it was like she couldn't even speak. And Nicolette Sheridan - what the hell was SHE on?

Patti

11-15-2004, 11:40 AM

I only watched a little bit of the show, but from what I saw I was not impressed. I did see Nicollette Sheridan, and frankly, she looked like a man! Methinks girlfriend has had a little too much plastic surgery. And Paula, ITA with you on Bon Jovi's acceptance speech. I was thinking it was a band award, but he certainly made it sound like a Jon Bon Jovi award.

My thoughts exactly - I was singing along, "My lucky number is one!" LOL

Did anyone catch Duff saying, "Thank God!" when Sheryl Crow beat out Avril and Jessica Simpson? LOL

I'm a huge Alicia Keys fan - LOVED her last nite!

I think Anna Nicole's "influence" last nite was alcohol. And maybe some of Snoop's brownies! I cracked up when Jenny McCarthy made fun of her.

I'm really starting to hate award shows. So boring & the people I want to win don't get an award usually. I mean Usher needs four awards, yeah, really.

I watched until I fell asleep. Liked Lenny & Gwen, & yeah, I'm not liking that song either, but I liked her performance for some reason though I'm really not too into her music.

Anna Nicole, on something, definitely. I actually thought DR looked sober, but maybe that's just me. I don't like either one. JS does over sing if that's what you call it, singing. And OMG, I, too, thought NS looked like a man, though on the show I don't think she does. What the heck did she do to herself? I missed Sheryl getting her awards, but what songs did she them for? She doesn't have any new stuff out, does she? I missed Maroon 5, I really wanted to see them though I don't think they got any award. I hate rap & country, pretty much didn't pay attention to any of this part, though my husband seems to be able to sing along to most of the country songs, like Gretchen Wilson, & I'm like "AHA, caught! You've been listening to country music in your truck!" To which he admits it, & then admits he likes country music & would like to go to country music concerts. And, & I'm like, "You must be crazy, I couldn't stand it!" And he says, "But I go with you to concerts, to see Fleetwood Mac." And I tell him that Mac music is better than country music!

Damn, I missed that - but did you see Sheryl watching Jessica, looking very bored, and then look around at the walls & stuff?

NS DID look like a man, she scared the crap out of me. And I don't think Diana Ross looked drunk, but she sure as hell sounded like it. Nothing she said made ANY sense - maybe she couldn't read the teleprompter? :shrug:

Kimmel wasn't terrible, so at least that part was OK.

Paula

She won best pop/rock female (I don't understand why Jessica Simpson was even IN that category) and best adult contemporary artist - both for her greatest hits album. No, she didn't perform, but she said she'll have a new album out next year.

Either Diana Ross was drunk or couldn't read the teleprompter. That seems to be a problem with the "older" celebrities. Remember Elizabeth Taylor on the Golden Globes a couple years back? She said "the nominees are..." and opened the envelope. Dick Clark caught her just in time. I thought it was so funny! I'd love to see Stevie up there.

I have a feeling you're all gonna flame me here but I'm convinced Gwen was lip-syncing. I'm sure I saw the mic away from her mouth whilst hearing her vocal. I'm sorry but I must point it out since no one else has for once. :D

Anna Nicole was sadly the highlight of the night. Hilarious. That and when Sheryl thanked Jimmy Iovine because I was like "ooooo a Stevie reference!"

I was hoping for a Memorium (sad music, old pictures :thumbsup: ), the highlight of many crappy award shows for me, but the AMA's clearly have 0 class when it comes to remembering the dead and much more talented performers.

They sucked! Bring on the Daytime Emmys!

She sounded like she just had oral surgery. I can only imagine what she must have looked like. :shocked:

Wow. A greatest hits album won out both categories? That's a sad commentary on the current state of pop music. :(

Well, the AMA's are all about sales. That's it. Soundscan results. Whoever sells the most albums wins. So, when you see Usher win his first award, and he's up against the same people in other categories, you already know he's gonna win. They're lame!
