AMA Recap

Here is my recap from the notes I took on the 2011 AMA's. The award show was like any other award show, cute but typical.

1. Why did Nicki Minaj wait until halfway through the show to finish her make up? When she accepted her first award, I thought she looked off but when she accepted the second award, I realized she forgot to do her make up. She had half eyelashes, no eye makeup,  and no lip color. The dress was cute, she actually looked like a person and not a live cartoon, but the shoes were a no-no, she couldn't walk in them, and she would have looked better with a black wig. Nicki looks like she forgot she was going to an award show and she just pulled something together. I also understand that she couldn't walk in her shoes but she could have gotten something better than this tennis shoes or sneakers. 
2. I need Justin Bieber to meet with an image consultant because that look he has going on isn't working. He looks like a lesbian. While he's there, take Joe Jonas with him. They're always close but not quite there.
3. Why does Adam Lambert look like a human Jack Frost? The pointed hair and the silver suit are not it. And what was going on with the coat? He's another one who rolled out of bed an hour before the ceremony and pulled something out of his closet.
4. Katy Perry looked like a country star from 3011. What was going on with that look? I didn't know she played guitar, kudos to her.
5. I'm over Taylor Swift and her Miss America humility. At every award show, her speech begins with "I had no idea I was going to win," really Taylor? I'm all for humility but this is getting old. She has won at every award show she has been to. She needs to find another act.
6. Mark Anthony was looking good. He's been doing big things since his divorce; new music, new television roles, and a new look. Dare I say that the black on black with the aviators and the facial hair looked good on him.
7. When I see Robin Thicke I normally want to put him to bed Ala J. Holiday, now I literally want to put him to bed. 
8. J.Lo's performance screamed desperateness. She's like the old b^*%h in the club that is past her prime, who probably should let it go, but she has to prove that she still has it. The performance went off well but she was doing the most. From the product placement, the overly eager grinding on Pitt Bull, and the Britney Spears 2000 nude body suit, the performance was too much. 
9. Was Beyonce's speech pre-recorded or live? She has that pregnant brain going on, she didn't quite know what to say, she was stumbling over words, she had a couple awkward pauses, and she just looked vacant and tired. If it was pre-recorded, they should have stopped and let her start over, if it was live, she should have written something down and rehearsed it.
10. The guy from One Republic needs to go to the Matthew Knowles school of singing live. He needs run while he's singing, I really thought he was going to pass out.
11. I like Enrique Iglesias performance. It was simple yet well put together. 
12. Christina Aguilera and that dress wasn't it. The dress was cute but if she wanted to dispel rumors of her weight gain, she took the wrong approach. She should have went loose, yet fitted instead of tight. The dress looked like a gown for a woman who wanted to show off her pregnant figure. It accentuated her stomach and it was all wrong.
