AMA'S AN ANNUAL DISSAPOINTMENT

Last night I watched in agony, the American Music Awards "2005". The show was horrible! What once used to be an award show that had stellar talent, and jaw dropping performances has been reduced to a high school talent show. With performers like Hillary Duff who lip synched, and Lindsay Lohan who also lip synched and the astonishing amount of "B" to "C" celebrities ( Will Smith, Jada, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw excluded), it is no wonder why year after year the AMA's sink lower, and lower in the ratings. Mariah Carey's usual lack luster performance was the show's opener, and with her stiff movements, and fluttering hand gestures, you watch her with your nose pulled up rather then watch in amazement. She should have been shuffled somewhere between Hillary, and Lindsay. The shows opener should be about "SHOWMANSHIP", and a "JAW DROPPING PERFORMANCE", there is a line in Mariah Carey's new song that says” She’ll never be M.C." and thank god for that. On a personal note has Mariah Carey gained weight or is it just me? She looked stuffed in that gown from the hips up. It’s like if she bent over to much with her hand over her ear (like she always does) she was going to bust out of that gown. Is that Diva?? There is so much to comment on, but one has to ask "WHO THE HELL PICKED CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER AS THE HOST???" I am so exhausted by all of this that I can’t even finish watching the show. All in all not a good show and I won’t be back next year. If it’s a choice between AMA'S, and dry paint. I'll choose the latter. At least in my mind while I’m watching the dry paint I can pit M.C. against Lindsay Lohan in my own head to head talent show.
