Members kurdy Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Had no idea it was going to be on tonight. Am I just out of touch, or is this event quite a bit more low profile than it used to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Music...hmmm...wasn't that invented for feeding iPods? Don't know much more about it other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philbo Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 What is AMAs? Never heard of it. (It sounds like one of those award shows where everyone brown-noses each other, but what do I know?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super 8 Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 I didn't catch it. I don't watch awards shows, but I did make it a point to catch the past two years of the Grammys. I swear I'll never do that again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It sounds like one of those award shows where everyone brown-noses each other, but what do I know?) You've never heard of the American Music Awards? It's only been around for almost 35 years. Unless you aren't from the U.S.--that would explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeartfeltDawn Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 AMAs = another piece of {censored} mainstream backslapping award that promotes very little new original talent but sure does love those American Idol kids.

Thanks, I was feeling that, but couldn't put it into words. That show was a tribute to the music machine. So much money, so little heart and soul.

Unless you aren't from the U.S.--that would explain it. I've lived in the USA all my life, but never paid attention to mainstream media pseudo-events very much. For me, it's like a 1/8" thick cake covered with 18" of frosting - - all lard & sugar, and no substance within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philbo Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Is this a riddle? Like, what do you get when you cross Elton John with a leopard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members franknputer Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 The AMA's (in current chronological order, the first of the "Big Three" music awards) were created by Dick Clark in 1973 to compete with the Grammys after the move of that year's show to Nashville, Tennessee led to CBS picking up the Grammy telecasts after its first two in 1971 and 1972 were broadcast on ABC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Music_Award Oh, so meaningful...
