Cool news! Thank you, Christy (and, of course, Tracy).

We all know who *should* win it, but my money's on Matchbox Twenty... not that they're not also very deserving.

Stevie and Cher are scheduled to perform together. The song is called "If I could Help the Watchdevil Turn Back the Sands of Time Just Like Jesse James Nicks for the Remaining Gypsies, Tramps, Thieves of Nothing so I Got You Babe Whassamattah".
And this time Stevie will be the one dressed like Elvis.

Actually, I cannot imagine that the year of no Mac hits will yield many American Music Awards anyway. But at least it's more exposure. Plus I anticipate that if we send the right people our names, addresses, phone numbers, and reasons why SYW should win an American Music Award, we might win a great seat to the awards show. (Airfare not included.)

Wow...how cool!! Thanks so much for the info. To be honest I never would have expected any AMA nominations...it always seems so commercial. But I guess they're getting better taste

OK, I'm confused... what was their second nomination for? I saw the one for 'Favorite Band, Duo or Group - Pop or Rock 'n Roll Music' but I can't find a second. I even looked on the site (http://abc.go.com/primetime/ama/nominees.html)... am I going blind?

I hope "the Mac" wins I just dont see it happenin'...

Besides, The chances of me watching that DRIVEL are the same chances that we will see Stevie do some "gangsta rap (errr...crap)" on her next solo release...

I'm really excited for them!

I sure hope they win, but if they don't at least it will draw more attention to Say You Will!

Jason T. · #11 09-16-2003, 04:27 PM

This is awesome!

And hey, I would love some gansta-rap type songs on Stevie's next solo album. Granted I'd be a bit frieghtened, but it would be great...
