The 2010 AMAs took place Sunday November 21, at the Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, CA. The night saw the red carpet walked by half the Billboard chart, with Rihanna, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, and Taylor Swift sporting some of the stand-out looks. Every second artist wore the same style, though. There were metallic/ glitter mini-dresses, nude-affects, and a lot of lace (showing Rihanna’s boobs, for example). There were also performance by the aforementioned, The Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera and Justin Bieber. Below is a list of the night’s winners, which includes the most talked about 2010 AMA for Artist of the Year going to Bieber. The full list of winners from the AMAs is shown below.

The pickings were slim. I can’t remember a year where I spent less time illegally downloading music. 2010 was a shit year for music. SMDH. Why is Rihanna in an r&b/soul category? I don’t think it gets any more pop than her. Good thing I watched RHOA instead of this garbage. Phaedra is a nightmare & a half. everybody, pray for her apollo & their son. lol!
