Miguel, John Legend, and Robin Thicke look very nice.
Looks like the ladies had a good time, Taylor excuse me but, you didn’t pucker up like the rest haha. Cute pic.
I am shocked…I actually liked Nicki’s performance.
Chris Brown…great performer.
I kinda actually prefer Nicki as a singer.
PS: Taylor Swift knows her a lil hip Hop. I seen her getting down last night, lol.
PSS: Jennifer’s dress slayed! She’s so sexy!
Nicki winning best rap artist = Death to HipHop
Jennifer Lopez represented!
Chris Brown was most def singing that song “I Want It All Bakc” to Rhianna! lol
My mom always told me that if you can’t say something nice about a peson
cornyyyyyy !!!! real music is DEAD smh
i love jlo’s dress, i see she got a lil booty on here, and WHY IS THIS HOE MALIAH THERE? jaden smith is cool and mary j blidge.
NEFETERIS THE BEST UNSIGNED HYPE NICKI JUS A SMOKE SCREEN. LAME ONCE AGAIN LADY GAGA INTERPRETATION WHO CAME OUT WITH THE SHOOTING BREASTS GET THIS BITCH OUTTA HERE UGGH ASSASINATE THIS BITCH
NICKI CANT EVEN DRESS LOOK AT THIS BITCH SHE CANT EVEN WALK IN HER SHOES HhahHHHhH
Chris’ performance was the best of the night!!! He always delivers excitement. I’m gonna need him and Mary to do something with that hair, but her performance was nice… I l like Mr. Wrong. Uhhh….Ms. Minaj? no comment except to say I was not happy.
Ok JIMO- Mary’s hair is weird looking, Sean Kingstons date must’ve been paid to be with him, let along hold his hand LOL~ Everyone keeps saying Miguel is gay and I can say his date looks like a drag queen. Smokey and his wife look great, J-Lo is always on point ( she can dress her a&& off)never heard of the T&T twins, Chaka looks like she lost weight, she’s stil thick and looking Mavalous! Nicki could probably be cute if she would just dress normal and have a normal hair do/color geesh. J Hudson even with the weight loss, it doesn’t help her looks. Sorry
Nicki was AMAZING *in drake voice* I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so proud of you. Nic can SING, RAP, ACT, SHE’S BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT aaaand a freaking COMEDIAN. Forget triple threat, the standard IS Nicki Minaj.
TeamMinaj in the BUILDING! Iiiiit’s barbie B**cccch!
i love Nicki, but come on a standing ovation for that? i mean i would’ve rather her just do the full ‘super bass’ song by itself. all that singing/techno stuff in the beginning i didn’t like at all. i know Nicki wants to take over the world, but i just didn’t like her doing all that myself.
Mary J. is still showing her true r&b side….don’t forget who sealed the deal in hip-hop r&b! i love her, but i do prefer the old Mary better before the ‘Mary’ album. but this song is ok, but not sure if i will actually buy the album.
J-Lo is on that mind-control stuff, and what did you have on J-Lo? LOL
Chris Brown’s blonde hair saved his career, ya’ll better recognize! he’s making it easier for my boy Sisqo’ to return solo….2012! year of the Dragon baby!!
………and Mary that was a great tribute for Heavy D! i love you two on the ‘My Love remix’!! crazy!!!!
Chris Brown can perform is ass off
Nicki Minaj = OVERHYPED joke and a sign that commericial hiphop has officially died…..winning fave rap artist?? LOL , she only won that because shes basically like the only “female commercial rap artist out right now” so that was an “automatic” win includin rap cd…..because everyone know if the truly gifted rap female artist like jean grae and ms dynmaite was in that category she would be dust. Shes lucky such talented artist dont care to become gimmicks.
WELL SAID
thumbs up to NICKI = DEAD OF REAL HIP HOP!!
I’m not a fan of Nicki Minaj but the more you hate on her and complaining about her rap, the more she stands out. lol
Nicki is a BAD B***H plain and simple. Her race is no longer biracial trini it’s just BAD B***H. This girl is gonna take over the world, you watch. And the thing is you guys haven’t seen or heard anything yet.
Everything Nicki has gone through in life and she’s still got a smile on her face?! That is what you call inspirational. She’s the voice for so many of us girls who have had everything thrown at us in life but still refuse to be defeated.
She’s focused that’s for sure. She may have relationship problems, but she aint seen wit any guy who thinks he wants to taste it…ie Rhianna. I predict in 10 years she’ll have money & still look good. Rhianna on the other hand will be fighting her weight and a used up has been who is desperate to be relevant.
I must say being different in the way we dress makes us a unique people….beauty certainly comes in all varieties
Did anyone else enjoy MJB song…or was it too much…I liked it….
it’s tight!
50 Cent looked nice
Nicki winning best hip-hop album and Rihanna winning best r&b/soul album were the JOKE of the night
MARY J BLIGE! ENOUGH SAID. Still sh!tting on the younger generation. YES MARY!!
Adele deserved that award and not Taylor. This year’s AMAs was a FAIL
this wasn’t chris brown’s best performance and i was slightly disappointed. but he did sing my favorite song tho!
wtf….
is a T&T twin?
is a Kraven?
Lmao @ Nicki Minaj getting best rap album… I mean theres hating… but then theres logic and reasoning… REALLY THO??? LMAO!!! I mean… congrats to the young woman on her accomplishments tho…
Taio Cruz – ick
Kraven – who is he and why does he look like that??
Soulja – the whole outfit is a complete fail.
Drake – only performance I was looking forward to!
Chris Brown – missed it last night but watched it afterwards, pretty good
Nicki – I just kept saying “hip hop is dead” when she won. 1) She couldn’t even walk in her shoes 2) She looks so dumb. Again, she’s too old to dress and act the way she does. She should not have won.
Miguel – outfit is horrible and I believe that’s his girlfriend.
Sean Kingston – Sean and Maliah ?!?!?! Ugh, and she needs to tone her body.
ANy fool who says this show had good performances must;ve been high on crack because that ish was WACKKKK!!!!!!!! Boring as FUK!!! Cheap set, bad performances and just WACK!!!!
i dont care what noone says…NICKI IS BOSS! her performance was amazing and she deserved BOTH wins! im proud of her! hip hop is not dead…its evolving! you may not like the direction its going…but tearing down another individual behind the screen of a computer isnt going to change anything. sooo, deal with it or change the channel! ive said my piece!
I can only assume you’re young and part of this new generation. Hip hop IS dead. Her music along with other’s absolutely sucks. YOU get over it. It’s just opinion. She’s a freakin gimmick. This is just what happens when toddlers decide what’s popular. Hint, hint!
Well said, U Dont Know…..
Nicki has already stated the image portrayed is NOT her. She would rather be in a sweatsuit. So, yes, it’s all a gimmick. And she will get tired of it.
I’m not mad at her for getting her hustle on, however, her stans thinking she will take over the world???? SMDH!!!
GTHOH.
We’re lucky, Gimmicks do not last forever!
Has Nicki gotten some vocal training? A little pitchy but much better. Hopefully on the next album she’s more mixtape Nicki then multiple personality disorder barbie… just sayin.
And say what you want about Chris Brown (cuz you can say a LOT)… but that boy is one hell of a performer. That was song was MADE for Rihanna IMO
Breezy as always kills it. say what you haters
use to like old nicki, before she sold out. wow Nicki is a walking advert for mind control. Baby girl has got electrocuted so many times. She poking fun out of it. Whatever floats your boat. If she was a average person on the street, she’d get locked up in the koo koo slammer. The spazzes is O_o smh. No more black nicki, all white.
It’s a shameeee, that the people that actually go through MK ultra and their mind is altered into seperate personalities.
JLO KILLED it. If I ever here anybody say she cannot sing, damn I liked the first bit. She murdered on the floor and papi.
JLO body is f***in crazy
Girl got in going on from the singing, dancing, that was performance.
Nicki, blah. Wannabe Lady gaga
gotta be JLO best performance to date, i see the booty mami.
Grr i wouldnt b so opposed to nicki winning if she was still on her mixtape nicki sh!t instead of this popstar nicki sh!t! But i get her logic.. Money flows and she knows which audience is going to buy her music so im not mad! Taylor swift is a major fail.. White folks hype her too hard.. If anything adele deserved that award with a bigger voice and better album! Chris brown did what he does best, i wish ppl would just accept him for being a great entertainer and leave it at that! I love Mary but she knows she could have did better hairwise, but then again i know she dont give a f-ck lol overall boring show
The AMA’s were a joke. How in the world does Rihanna win best Rnb & Soul album, ain’t nothing Rnb or soul about her. Nicki wins best Rap album, really..this is ridiculous. Taylor wins Artist of the Year, Adele should of gotten that hands down!
Mary J.Blige’s performance was on point!
JLo did her “thang” on the floor.

Are you positive about the source?|What i do not realize is actually how you’re no longer actually a lot more well-preferred than you might be now. You are so intelligent.

I was just searching for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Usually the top sites are full of garbage.
