American Music Awards
Well last night I was able to catch some of the AMA's. While they haven't peeked my interest in recent years, I was especially tuning in to catch Janet Jackson's opening performance. She was amazing. I was really devastated by the sudden death of MJ and to me she is the only other member of the Jackson family that can do him proud. Her medley of greatest hits brought back so many memories and she is a true icon in her own right. Another one of my fave performances was that of Whitney Houston. The raw emotion he displayed was a true blessing. Her humility and gratitude toward God for keeping her in her darkest hour was touching to say the least. But I cannot end this post without mentioning JLO, or Adam Lambert for that matter. I guess it was a slippery stage because both of them had slip ups. It wouldn't have been so bad except JLo was singing about being in her Louboutin's and fell while she was in her kicks!! I usually enjoy her performances but this one left much to be desired. On to Adam...Adam , what can I say..I mean after his extreme theatrics on Idol there isn't much left. To be honest the AMA stage in my opinion swallowed him up. the slip on the stairs didn't help either. He has amazing vocal capability but I think all of the dancing took away from his voice. Another note worthy performance was Mary J's . She looks amazing,even better than she did back in the day. Keep doing what your doing Mary because it's definitely working. From a fashion stand point I wont get too much into best dressed and what nots but I will say that Rihanna hit a high note for me in her white cut out jump suit. She manages to pull it off and I don't know of many that could. Lady Gaga needs to hang up the leotard and get an actual outfit! well that's my take on the AMA's. I must be off now, get my kiddies ready for school!
