Whitney Houston e cea mai buna dovada ca drogurile nu te omoara ci te tin in viata intr-un mod perfid doar ca sa vezi cum ti-ai distrus-o .

Dupa atata crack dupa crack, de parca ar fi fost muza lui Irvine Welsh pentru Porno, acum isi face come-back-ul. Now really,daca nu ar fi avut backing vocals cred ca ar fi pus repede barbia in piept si ochii-n pamant si ar fi plecat de pe scena cu vocea ei cu tot. Too bad.

Vedeti aici her performance la abc.

Come to think of it, e un fel de “Whitney screws up the classics” la modul cel mai serios de data asta. Ironic cum pamfletul facut de Debra Wilson mai demult prinde contur de data asta cu personajul real in rol principal.

Oare n-ar avea mai mult succes acum din parodierea propriei persoane ?

much too long since i’ve been here…and now off the birded wings of thanksgiving eve…i bring you. me.

this whole adam lambert thing. hm. i was watching the american music awards and thought they were alright. really enjoyed a lot of the performances…i grew up on tori amos, pj harvey and bjork, so honestly lady gaga sparks no interest in me whatsoever…the overly dramatic live shows (of which i’ve seen on awards shows) leaves just a whole host of dramatics and not enough sound pleasure for me. i liked jay z and alicia keys, whitney houston’s slow comeback…not feeling green day and wish they could go back to the rare beauty of their earlier punk…the album ‘dookie.’ i wish kings of leon would have performed. liked the eminem performance and i think that carrie underwood is a very talented artist…odd that taylor swift won so many and didn’t show up because of rehearsal in london but who am i? the thing that gets me the most and is getting the most publicity is american idol, adam lambert’s (a very gorgeous young man…btw) performance. i consider myself open minded however for me it was entirely out of place, way too over the top and repulsive. i really don’t wanna see oral sex simulation during a dick clark american music awards broadcast. silly me? he’s apparently unapologetic about it…and wants to equate it to janet jackson’s (who was incredibly awesome) crotch grab on a male dancer. or wants to equate it the mads and britney kiss…well, adam the networks didn’t air your kiss. and ok, janet did like six songs in a row…it was quick and she wasn’t really like…sexualizing her 1 second much as 3 minutes of his performance. lambert held a dude’s head to his crotch and continued to move his pelvis with the dude’s head. not only that he tugged between the legs of a female dancer, repeatedly…i wasn’t sure if something was supposed to pop out or what. it was too much. even for me…it was way too much. the saddest thing however is that if lambert had been akon or 50 cent or lil wayne or little richard. we have insane double standards in this country. take the janet and justin superbowl show…the media and we (not i) went crazy. you would have thought janet jackson murdered someone or had sex on air…her nip popped out. we see the nip as infants. big freakin deal. he nor she ever licked or fondled the nip…it just showed up for like a half second. you also would have thought justin timberlake was on mars during the performance, he was the garment revealer or ripper…the press hate fest focused on jackson…but justin…he was right there. insert any ethnic entertainer gay or straight…fines and talking heads would be going crazier than the electronics line will be at wal-mart tomorrow morning. we have such a bias way of thinking in this country and it’s quite sad…but true as metallica would say.

and as much as i promise i won’t watch ‘dancing with the stars’ ever again…i watch only to see it repeat a catastrophe. there’s no way that donny osmond was a better dancer than mya or kelly osborne…so i wish they’d stop letting the producers dictate the results. also, lil kim was absolutely robbed last year…mya and her top performing all season self was robbed as well. i’d feel much better if kelly osborne would have won…oh well.

on that somber note…happy thanksgiving.

here’s a new favorite video and song by p. diddy.

peace&eat!!

Let me first start out by saying I was on Nationwide Radio in Kingston, Jamaica promoting an expo. I am the Event Officer for the expo. I didn’t want to appear on the programme but I eventually did. People who listened to the broadcast expressed that they were impressed and liked the delivery.

I have a personal issue that I will be working on. My demeanour does not speak of my potential and abilities. I hope I am expressing myself well. Most people who know me do not really KNOW ME. I appear to be reserved, laid back, unenergetic and conservative. Although that may be true, I have the ability to turn on the energy when needed. Some folks today call it an alter ego. I may be reserved but when the opportunity presents itself I turn into a total different person full of energy and life. It causes people who will offer opportunities to hold back because they don’t know what I am truly capable of.

I am a talented young man who is really underutilised in my job. So today, when I turned on the alter ego (no name for that person yet) my boss was really overwhelmed and seemed particularly impressed with my delivery. I want to get to the place where I turn it on all the time. I just hope I won’t turn people off.
You can’t have your cake and eat it, I guess.

Dancing with the Stars

Last night I watched the finale of the Dancing with the Stars. It was an entertainment night, filled with excitement and of course the revelation of the winner of the season. It was a surprise to see Donny Osmond win over Mya. I really think with all my heart that Mya would have taken the trophy home. It would have been the first black individual to win and that may not happen in the next season or ever again. However, the point must be noted that the main target audience may just have voted more for the winner. Clearly, if the winner was decided on the fact of delivery over the season then Mya would have won. Some people argue that Kelly should have won based on the fact that she was the most improved. The fact is voting counts and sometimes it isn’t fair.

My Favourite MYA

So of course, with Donny winning someone else would have taken the night. Whitney Houston was simply fantastic. I will only say this – her addictions may have affected her voice but she certainly can still deliver a great performance. Her songs on the night, I am still on cloud nine over it. Sorry! The videos are posted below for your viewing. The last song on the first video is one of my favourites from Houston so you could imagine my excitement and jumping in the house when she started to sing it. I have also posted a video of the song “I wana dance with somebody” from Whitney Houston back in the days. I have posted it because this is the real performance of the song. Enjoy.

Na całe szczęście Damian to już tylko eks. Na całe szczęście bo znowu dowiedziałem się o Nim fascynująco-przykrych rzeczy. I coraz większe przerażenie mnie ogrania z kim ja byłem i z kim chciałem spędzić (pierwszy raz tak miałem w związku) resztę życia.Okazało się bowiem poza tym co już sam wiedziałem od jego siostry, poza tym co sam zaobserwowałem, że generalnie byłem zdradzany. A może ten drugi koleś z którym był/jest, był zdradzany? Sam nie wiem. W każdym bądź razie poczułem się… nie wiem jak to nazwać. Poczułem się brudny. To dobre określenie. I wyobraziłem sobie, że mój facet z kimś innym… Masakra.

Ale za chwilę pomyślałem sobie, że już mam to za sobą. Że ten rozdział mojego życia jest już zamknięty. I że nie powinno mnie to interesować. I w sumie sam siebie tym zdziwiłem. Nie znałem swojej siły. Zresztą to też jawne nawiązanie do piosenki Whitney Houston o tym samym tytule Śpiewa ona w niej tak:

I didn’t know my own strength
and I crashed down and I tumbled
but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my strength !

I kurcze musze się z Nią zgodzić. Ale nie jest mi z tym jakoś specjalnie źle…

Donny Osmond may have taken the crown, but Whitney Houston gave winning performances of “Million Dollar Bill” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” on the season finale of “Dancing with the Stars.” Looking good, Whit.

So by now, you should know that Donny & Kym won the big mirror ball trophy on “Dancing With The Stars.” I figured it would be hard to miss. So if you’re still interested in a recap of last night’s show, you’ll find it after the jump.

We got to see all the couples from season nine, with the final three couples making the grand entrance. Uh-oh. Miss Piggy – or at least the back of her head appeared as the recap of Monday’s performances played. Live TV, people. So here’s what we do when there are problems, we go to break, regroup, then get back to it. So happy Tom Bergeron is the host! He is a true pro!

Here are the standings:

1. Mya & Dmitry – 87 points

2. Donny & Kym – 85 points

3. Kelly & Louis – 76 points

First performance of the night comes from Whitney Houston. She performed “Million Dollar Bills.” Sorry. Can’t watch her. I don’t think she sings any more. It’s like she just speaks the lyrics.

It’s time for “The Losers Club.” It’s the people who are the first to be kicked off the show. Jeffery Ross returns in a sequined jacket to roast/induct a new member into the club. Ashley Hamilton gets his jacket. Jeff called it a “token of your suckiness.” He said when Ashley was out there, people thought it was a telethon for the uncoordinated. Then, Ashley said he’d give his dance with Edyta his full 10%. Ashley dropped Edyta, then danced with Jeff. Then (the horror!), they opened their shirts! That’s comedy, right? Tom said Jeff’s stomach was whiter than a snow drift. True.

Like deja vu, we get the first of many recaps of the entire season. Sorry, folks. I’m hitting FF. I’ve sat through the whole season. I could just go back and read my recaps if I wanted to live it again. Kathy Ireland & Tony Dovolani danced. If she danced like this weeks ago, she might have made it further. They were followed by Macy Gray & Jonathan Roberts. I’m still uncomfortable watching Macy dance. Debi Mazar & Maksim Chmerkovskiy. She was lovely.

Another taped piece looks back at what became “DWTS: The Season of The Flu/Injuries.”

Tom DeLay & Cheryl Burke returned to do the Texas Two Step. If not for injury, I totally believe The Hammer could have made it to the finale! This was his dance – even the booty shake. Only made me feel a little uncomfortable. Still, he is fun to watch!

Taped piece looking back at the fourth and fifth weeks of competition. FF again. Chuck Liddell & Anna Trebunskaya performed. He still scares me. Mark Dacascos & Lacey Schwimmer performed next. Then, Chuck and Mark did some fighting. Don’t worry, no one got hurt. Except maybe my eyes.

Adam Carolla gave Donny some advice on how to win. Really? Adam can’t dance! Kelly and Mya showed up. Adam called the ladies “the enemy.” Then, he tried hard to be funny. FF.

Natalie Coughlin & Alec Mazo returned to perform. She was good. Why didn’t she make it through the competition?

Melissa Joan Hart & Mark Ballas performed in bright yellow and purple. Is that a ploy to get Lakers tickets? She was so good!

The judges talk about the finalists. Len said Kelly is unexpected. Bruno said she’s wonderful in hold. Len said she engages with the audience. Carrie Ann said Donny is an incredible showman. Len said Donny lights up the ballroom with every dance. Bruno said Donny is solid and never underperforms. Len said Mya has the talent to take the title. Bruno said Mya uses her body like a musical instrument.

Another re-introduction of the final three. Come on, ABC! Content, please! FF again.

Kelly & Louis performed their Viennese waltz from earlier in the season. It did look like Kelly forgot a step towards the end. Still loved this dance. Len said of all the celebrities who have been on the show, he’ll miss her the most because he loves watching her every week. The audience was chanting for her. Bruno said she may come from rock and roll royalty, but she has earned her place as a ballroom princess. Carrie Ann through tears, she doesn’t know if anyone has ever touched her as much as Kelly has. She said every time she watched Kelly dance, she was growing every step of the way.

Mya & Dmitry performed their jive from earlier in the season. It was just as fun as the first time they performed it! Bruno said Mya was sharp, slick, never missed a beat. He said she never dropped her standards throughout the season. Carrie Ann said every season, someone sets the pace and that has been Mya from day one. She called Mya a star. Len said they’ve had a few ups and downs but he never doubted her dance talent. He called her fantastic.

Donny & Kym performed the Argentine tango from earlier in the season. I’m glad they chose this. Donny couldn’t smile one bit during this performance. I like that it was not a showman’s dance. Carrie Ann said Donny has graced them with show stopping performances. She was glad he chose that as his final dance because it was artistry in motion. Len said Donny has been mostly good, sometimes bad and one dance was pretty ugly. But he never lost his performance. He said Donny finished strong. Bruno said Donny is a great performer. He said Donny reaches the dark side and uses it well.

The judges ranked the finalists for the final round. Here’s how they chose ‘em:

1. Donny & Kym – 30 points

2. Mya & Dmitry – 28 points

3. Kelly & Louis – 26 points

Wow!

Louie Vito & Chelsie Hightower danced to “Puppy Love” performed by Donny. Do they have something to tell us? The song started slow, then got fast and the dance included a great lift and lots of tumbling from Louie. Donny gave them two thumbs up. Samantha said Chelsie & Louie are not dating. OK. I believe that.

Michael Irvin & Jerry Rice perform a dance off. Jerry performed with Anna Trebunskaya, while Michael got his partner, Anna Demidova, back. I’m giving Michael the edge because he has a more intense dance face. That said, watching these two dance, then fight over a football made me realize why they did not make it to the finals. It was fun. Not great. The judges awarded the mirror ball ring to Michael. There was celebrating. Then, the judges stopped that. They decided the battle of the bodies goes to Jerry.

Aaron Carter & Karina Smirnoff performed their quick step.

Miss Piggy was backstage with Cloris Leachman, Jerry Springer, Steve Wozniak and Joanna Krupa. They all seemed to be afraid of Miss Piggy. Huh? Then, those four took the stage to do a competition mambo. Cloris stood still for a bit as Corky seemed to shake her to life. The Woz did a lot of hobbling about in a pink boa. Jerry still made me a bit uncomfortable (I was afraid he might hurt himself). Cloris & Corky were the first eliminated. Jerry & Edyta were booted. How could Joanna not shine here? She’s left with The Woz? Then, a partner switch. Steve & Karina were booted. Surprise, surprise! Joanna wins. Is this how the judges reward her for not making the finals? Ah, the dance ends with the couple’s signature move – only in reverse (not dirty talk, it was Joanna holding Derek).

Whitney returned to perform “I Want To Dance With Somebody.” Again, mostly talking the lyrics. FF.

Now, finally down to the business. The third place finishers: Kelly & Louis.

The winners of that ugly mirror ball trophy: Donny & Kym.

That’s it. See you in the Spring!

Check out Whitney Houston preforming her song “Million Dollar Bill”  and  “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”on Dancing with the stars finale show last night.  I cant believe Mya lost I thought she had that in the bag.  

It was a case of established American show biz royalty winning big on Dancing With The Stars as Donny Osmond (with the help of his dance partner Kym Johnson) were crowned the winners of DWTS Season 9.

That being said, it was really Whitney Houston who wowed the crowd on finale night with her performances of Million Dollar Bill and I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Artists like Houston who have inspired over a billion people to dance the world over with her gift of song, (she is after all the living, female equivalent version of Michael Jackson) are rare in their ability to dip into their entertainment archives and perform two songs spanning over two decades of outstanding entertainment from America.

What an amazing star and artist Whitney Houston is and she delivered for the highlight of the night for DWTS audiences.

Video footage of Whitney’s performance is below. Congrats Donnie, Kym & Whitney Houston. If you want to sing along when you press play with a real American diva when she performs, lyrics of both songs follow below.

Oh oh oh yeah
Ooh oh ooh oh oh

Came in the door
Checked in my coat
And who I’m looking for
Is staring in my face

They played our song
We hit the floor
He held me strong
And we danced the night away

I can see the way that he is making me feel
This way about his love
I’ve been looking for something like this
I’m saying ooh oh oh oh ooh oh oh !

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
If you go left right up down
Gotya you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !

It’s been a long long time
Since I fell, fell
Love has found my way oh oh oh
I’ve been looking (looking)
I’ve been searching (searching)
For the man to touch this place, oh ooh oh yeah

Can’t deny the way that he is making me feel
This way about his love
I’v been searching for something like this
I’m saying oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left right up down
Gotya you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left right up down
Gotya you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !

If you feel good
If you’re feeling good
Put one hand in the air, say yeah
If you feel good
If you’re feeling good
It’s cause love is in the air
Love is in the air

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left right up down
Gotya you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left right up down
Gotya you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh ! 

And… her classic:

Clock strikes upon the hour,
And the sun begins to fade.
Still enough time to figure out,
How to chase my blues away.

I’ve done alright up till now.
It’s the light of day that shows me how.
And when the night falls…
The loneliness calls.

Oh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
Oh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.

I’ve been in love,
And lost my senses,
Spinning through the town.
Sooner or later the fever ends,
And I wind up feeling down.

I need a man who’ll take a chance,
On a love that burns hot enough to last.
So when the night falls,
My lonely heart calls.

Oh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
Oh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
(Somebody who somebody who)somebody who loves me,
(Somebody who somebody who)to hold me in his arms.
I need a man who’ll take a chance,
On a love that burns hot enough to last.
So when the night falls,
My lonely heart calls.

Oh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
Oh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
Yeah,
Don’t you wanna dance with me baby?
Don’t you wanna dance with me boy?
Don’t you wanna dance with me baby?

With somebody who loves me,

Don’t you wanna dance
Say you wanna dance
Don’t you wanna dance… x3
Uh-huh
With somebody who loves me

We all know that the AMA’s always have BOOOOORRRRIIINNGGG performances but this year they made a smart decision when they scheduled Janet, Mary J and Whitney to perform.  Janet opened the show with a simple yet fun upbeat performance.  Mary J does what she does best.  The nights best performance came from Whitney Houston.  They house was on their feet and there were not many dry eyes in the building,  Great Job on the comeback. 

[Yeah, I went deep... so sue me!]

If you thought Janet and JD was a mismatch, these two will have you throwing up in the mouth!

Whitney Houston and Ray J’s “friendship” has been suspect for over a year now, with the two always creepin’ ’round town together! They were snapped heading to dinner at Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills Sunday night, right after the AMAs. Hmmmm.

Another suspect “friendship”, is that of Adrienne Bailon and Fabolous. Although both parties deny that they’re dating, you can’t help but wonder. They we’re seen getting all close at Loso’s bday party the other night…

… and AND, here’s a recent pic of them (with friends) in Cabo…

Yeah, that lineup really threw me guys!

As for these two, Serena Williams and Common spotted courtside a few days ago…

… they need to quit it with the “We’re Just Friends” bull, ‘cos we all know they’re dating!!

Few more of Ray J and Whitney, taken Summer 2008…

At the recent 37th American Music Awards, there were certainly many moments that I felt is worth mentioning. Awesome start - Janet Jackson opened the show by dancing her way through an eight-minute medley of hits such as “Miss You Much,” “Together Again,” “If” and her new single, “Make Me.” Janet also showed off some of the creative moves that her family is known for. Overdoing it - Lady Gaga continued her quest to be the year’s most shocking performer, appearing in a body stocking and mask before smashing a window and climbing into a box with a piano that soon was on fire. She ended her performance by smashing liquor bottles on the keyboard. Shocker - This year’s “Idol” runner-up, Adam Lambert, sought to one-up Lady Gaga with his performance of “For Your Entertainment.” Moving among a freak show of dancers in sexy outfits, Lambert dragged one woman across the stage by her leg, walked a male dancer on a leash, participated in a simulated sex act and kissed the guy playing keyboards. America must be so relieved that he wasn’t voted as this year’s American Idol.

Taking a tumble – Jennifer Lopez  landed wrongly after jumping off the back of one of her dancers and falling on her butt. Do you think it was it an intentional dance move, or did she just slip? So what did JLO herself have to say about her little stumble? The singer who talked to Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show said, “Yeah, I meant to do that…That was part of the choreography. Later she tries to get deep by saying: “the measure of things is, it’s not what happens when you fall, it’s how you handle it when you fall.” Check out the clip and judge for yourself?  Btw Adam Lambert also took a slip too during his performance later in the show.

The late Michael Jackson was nominated for five awards, just one shy of nominee leader Taylor Swift. He was named favorite male artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. His 2003 greatest-hits album, “Number Ones,” also won favorite album in both categories. The only other award he was vying for was the evening’s top prize, artist of the year, along with Lady Gaga, the Kings of Leon and Eminem and Taylor Swift. Swift overshadowed the late Michael Jackson by winning five prizes including the evening’s top prize, artist of the year. She accepted her AMA Awards live via satellite from her concert stage in an empty Wembley Arena in London, where she was rehearsing for a sold-out show on Monday. This is one way for organizers to keep Kanye West  from snatching her mic and interrupting her during her acceptance speech. LOL.. Taylor and her band stayed up most of the night to watch the show live from the US, and she accepted her last award at almost 4 a.m. London time. “Music has never been ultimately about competition,” Swift said, after winning the artist of the year prize. She said it was an “unimaginable honor” to be cited in the same category as Jackson, and thanked the Jackson family and Janet for reaching out to her the way that she had. Jackson was named favorite male artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories, while his 2003 hits collection “Number Ones” was named favorite album in both those categories. The album is the No. 2 seller this year in the United States. Michael’s trophies were accepted by his brother Jermaine, who paid tribute to his late brother by wearing a glittery white glove

Kelly, Mya and Donny Compete in The Dancing with The Stars Finale

(L-R)Kelly Osbourne, Mya, Donny Osmond

Singers, Mya, Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond are competing against each other in a very challenging awards show. It’s not the Grammys, The American Music Awards or The People’s Choice Awards. The songsters are fighting to see which of them take home the mirror balled trophy of “Dancing With The Stars”.

On last nights show, each couple danced three numbers including a side by side same choreographed dance that had a combination of three dance styles.

Osmond is partnered with Kym Johnson. Total Score-85 out of 90
Mya is partnered with Dmitry Chaplin. Total Score- 87 out of 90
Osbourne is partnered with Louie Van Amsel. Total Score-76 out of 90

At the end of the evening Mya led with 87 and had Kelly Osbourne had the lowest score with 76. Donny received a 30 for his Free style dance. Mya received a 30 for her Paso Doable dance.

Other highlights of the finale are past contestants and champions, and a musical number by Whitney Houston.

“Dancing With The Shows” 2-hour series finale airs at 9/8c on ABC

Antes quero avisar que se vocês clicarem nas fotos podem ver os vídeos.

O que foi o show da Janet Jackson? Ela quase não dançou, fez playback, errou um passo…Sem comentários.

Além disso, houveram problemas técnicos, como quando Paula Abdul ficou falando com o vento porque o microfone não funcionava.

A abertura da performance da Shakira foi super maneira antes de ela começar a cantar, a música também é legal mas não sou muito fã.

A apresentação da Lady Gaga estranha, sei que ela gosta de causar e tudo mais mas apesar do fogo, a roupa esquisita (aquilo era para ser um alce?) e ela quebrando vidros, não foi tão chocante quanto Paparazzi no VMAs. A apresentação do Black Eyed Peas idem. Meio mamão com açúcar, mas gostei das cores.

O grande momento OMG e talvez o único, foi a volta triunfante de Whitney Houston. Ela estava linda! E a voz dela ainda melhor! Espero que ela realmente tenha abandonado as drogas.

Adam Lambert fez de seu debut uma grande palhaçada, simulando sexo oral no palco. Além da falta de vergonha na cara, achei um desrespeito. Se quer aprender a causar com classe, pergunte à Lady Gaga.

Em resumo, achei que o AMA 2009 foi normal, não diria bom porque não teve nenhuma apresentação OMG além da Whitney Houston.

Michael Jackson se convirtió en el gran ausente de la noche, pero no por ello dejó de ganar cuatro premios de los cinco a los que estaba nominado recogidos por su hermano Jermaine Jackson. Eso sí, la cantante de country Taylor Swift superó el éxito del fallecido cantante al marchar a casa con cinco galardones de los seis a los que estaba nominada (incluido el de “artista del año”).

Los American Music Awards (AMA), premios de la música estadounidense concedidos por los fans, cobraron vida anoche, en una gala celebrada el 22 de Noviembre que no estuvo exenta de sorpresas. Por ejemplo, Lady Gaga destrozó su escenografía e incendió el escenario durante su actuación.

Me dio la sensación de que en esta edición hubo mucha más actuación en vivo que otros años, en algunos casos algunos iban seguidos, incluso. Janet Jackson,  Shakira, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys (que subió dos veces al escenario) y Jay-Z, The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer López, Whitney Houston, Eminem, Green Day y Adam Lambert (que cerró la gala) fueron algunos de los que se subieron al escenario para dar espectáculo, sin menospreciar la presencia de los presentadores que también hicieron por amenizar la gala.

Volviendo a los premiados, otros de los alabados durante la gala fueron Black Eyed Peas y Jay-Z que se llevaron dos premios cada uno. Como era de esperar Crepúsculo se llevó el AMA a Mejor Banda Sonora.

Otra de las anécdotas de la noche fue la caída de Jennifer López, a quien le vino bien tener el trasero asegurado puesto que después de saltar tras subirse en las espaldas de uno de los bailarines no cayó cómo se suponía debía caer…

Eminem seguro que no ha dormido bien esta noche pues aún estando nominado a cuatro AMA, finalmente se fue con las manos vacías.

Janet starts the night off wonderfully in my honest opinion. She danced and ended with “Together Again” a song about one of her friends who passed from AIDS but the lyrics were so appropriate for Michael. RIP King of Pop, your sister made you proud tonight.

If you don’t know by now, know that I’m a Lady GaGa fan. I love her and I believe she was great tonight! Some people on Twitter complain about her but how boring would this world be if everyone performed like each other? Don’t compare her to Rihanna. That’s disrespectful; live with the fact that Beyonce does her thing as does Rihanna, Brandy and any other artist out there. Variety isn’t bad people.

Shakira! Shakira! (In my best Wyclef voice) I thought her performance was interesting. The stepshow in the beginning threw me off for a little but it was cool. What HBCU did she go to for those moves? Very cool.

Rihanna…*sigh* I like her, I do but she’s really turned to the dark side! I’m worried about the girl. The songs I’ve heard from the album are all dark and dreary. If it works for her then hey, I can’t complain. Her album drops this Tuesday November 24, 2009.

Whitney. “I was not built to break” No, you weren’t and you didn’t! I love you for that and you will always be one of my favorite singer’s J Great job tonight, GREAT job!! Whitney and Mary J Blige were my favorites!

And then there was JLo. She’s making a comeback this year with her new single, “Louboutins” I believe some little hoodrats will 1.) Start singing this song and have no clue what they are OR 2.) People will think she’s saying Louis Vuitton. FTL ….And did anyone see that fall? Yeah, they edited it out of the west coast version but east coast saw it cool and clear

The fuckery of the night in my book, Taylor Swift winning what 5 awards? When will the sympathy votes end? Kayne is somewhere punching the daylights out of a punching bag. He boosted her career. Yes, I know she was doing well before the Kanye outburst, but seriously, “The Kanye Effect” has benefited her more than anything. Tonight on Twitter I stated that she could sneeze in a movie and win an Oscar. Seriously, I believe it and if these sympathy votes keep going on, it will happen! And how did this little girl beat MJ for entertainer of the year? She didn’t sell more records than the King of Pop. UGH! Where is Kanye when you need him?!
