There is a lot of controversy about these results already and I feel that I have to give my take of things. First off, Justin Bieber won more awards than any other artist at the American Music Awards this evening; including AMA Artist of the Year Award. I'm not sure if I'm ready to say that Justin Bieber is the greatest in the Music Industry! Sure his tunes are catchy, but is he really that good of an artist? I was really surprised that in all the performances tonight, Lady Gaga did not perform. They had the Backstreet boys and New Kids on the Block do a compilation of the songs that made both groups famous and that was really neat. I guess I'm just bitter that the "Mother Monster" herself didn't perform. All in all it was a great evening with a lot of wonderful artists getting much deserved awards. What is your take? Who would you give the awards to?
