Okay..i missed some awards..but those are boring ppl tad we never really heard of..so anyway..i totally disagree with best soundtrack..but oh well..the reason i highlight artist of the year differently is coz that award is the biggest award that every1 is waiting for..so Chris Brown is the big night winner with 3 Awards..Rihanna and Kanye got two...Alicia Keys also has two...Ashley Tisdale and the two Davids from American Idol are there to present awards...so anyway..lets move on to..the performances

Okay...Leona Lewis performed for the first time in the AMAs, her single Better In Time. Jesse Mccartney introduced her. She did quite good..she sang it with a different version..as in..no piano..but accoutic-ish..accoustic-rock version of the song..but it was good..she still hit those high notes pretty well..

Natasha bedingfield sang a medley of songs, “Unwritten”, “Pocketful of Sunshine” and “Soulmate". It was good..

Then there's The Jonas Brothers performing 'Tonight'.
It was okay..i like how they're having fun and all..but some parts they didnt quite hit the notes..but it was okay la..the crowd enjoys it..

Taylor Swift performed her song called White Horse. Oh ya..the reports say it was awkward for her and ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas..hmm..but anywho..
The song wasnt bad..she wore a nice dress..sitting on a couch and it was ok..a typical taylor swift song though..its simple..and her voice is so soft like a little girl..but well..she's 18 anyway..the lyrics was good though..its sweet..all in all..the performance was good la..not too bad..haha..she looks great though..

Miley Cyrus also performed her song called Fly On The Wall..

After that, she even celebrated her birthday...with a cake..with her so called bff Ashley Tisdale, Jordin Sparks..Taylor Swift..and some other ppl..its her birthday when she performed tad song..it wasnt bad..quite good..all the choreography and all..and one part she screamed a note..and it was..unexpected from her..
in a good unexpected way...haha
Pink also performed a song called Sober.
Not comment..it was okay..she looks good in a gown though..haha..

Oh ya..Beyonce also performed her newest single called Single Ladies..


It was really good i have to say..well..she's always great performing..she danced with 2 other girls just like the music video and she danced intensively and still can sing..it was real good..haha..

Oh yeaaaah..almost forgot..christina aguilera performed a medley of a lot of her past songs..including Genie in the Bottle..it was good too..nice medley..
Christina wasnt the only one performing more than a song..PCD also performed 2 songs..I Hate This Part and When I Grow Up.. yes..they were in a car


not bad..just another PCD performance..kinda used to it already..haha..they've been doing the same thing over again.

Rihanna too performed her new song, Rehab.
It was okay..im not getting the eye-patch though...i find it a lil boring..but it was okay la. I like the setting though..Before she starts performing, the dude who present her said she had the most no.1 hits in this decade than any other artist..which is very good! haha.
Alicia Keys was the last performer..and she performed a song called 'Superwoman'. But its not the oldies song superwoman..its another one..and in d middle of the song..Queen Latifah came and sang with her...then this opera woman..also came and sang..so its like a trio thing..and it was good..didnt know queen latifah sings..haha

Mariah Carey also performed 'I Stay In Love'.
Before she performed..she was given a Lifetime Award for having the most no1 Hit Singles beating out Elvis Presley..so..yeah..The performance was good too..vocals are real good..but anyway..thats all the performances i can remember..haha..sorry..haven't been updating lately..was gathering pictures :P they're not easy to find u knw..anyway..hope u enjoy this post..i spent a lot of time on it :D
