Mariah Carey "I Stay In Love"
Kanye West "Heartless"
Rihanna "Rehab"
Sure the awards themselves were duds, but the 2008 American Music Awards was the best awards show of the year—thanks in no small part to the outstanding lineup of performers. Christina Aguilera opened the show in an unprecedented way with a hits medley that included “Beautiful,” “Keeps Gettin’ Better,” “Genie In A Bottle,” “Dirrty,” “Ain’t No Other Man” & “Fighter.” Nonstop action! I loved it. Beyonce did an amazing job with her performance. The Pussycat Dolls performed both “I Hate This Part” & “When I Grow Up,” & though Nicole was vocally on-point, my favorite part was the dance break toward the end. One of the most shocking highlights of the night was when Pink joined Sarah McLachlan on stage for a duet. Beautiful gorgeousness. Alicia Keys brought the show to a close with a couple guests & though it was a bit of a mess, it wasn’t bad. I couldn’t for the life of me get into Leona Lewis’ performance however. Love her, but if I hear that @#$% song one more time… RELEASE ANOTHER SINGLE ALREADY! The underrated Natasha Bedingfield shined with her medley of “Soulmate,” “Unwritten,” & “Pocketful Of Sunshine.” Kanye West also did his thing, while Rihanna was simply blah. Mariah Carey & Pink’s solo performance were enjoyable as well. For a complete list of winners, click HERE.
