Hey folks-guess what? The American Music Awards are tonight. Who has two thumbs and will be live-blogging the whole show-as painful as that process appears? Yep-this guy. Make sure you check out this site frequently throughout the night to see what I think of the show.
In the meantime, let’s go back in time and pull yet another great AMA moment out of the archives.
Damn-looks like someone’s gone into YouTube and pulled out a lot of the good stuff, but we can still take it back nearly 40 years to the very first American Music Awards show. The award? Favorite Pop/Rock Duo or Group. The winner? The Carpenters-but that’s the least important part of the presentation. Check out the presenters: a teenager Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond, TV commercial personality Rodney Allen Rippy and “Partridge Family” actor Ricky Segall. Rippy is cutting up big time in this clip…gotta love a kid with great comic timing.
Reminder to check back in from 8PM-11PM EST tonight as I live blog the American Music Awards!!

That was awesome. If everything wasn’t so scripted these days, we might get moments like that still.

Early AMA’s meant something to the people, now it’s just a shallow spectacle. But an exception lately is Kid Rock’s performance. That was a simple ballad but it was great.
