I love Taylor Swift's music. I do..in that "junior high girl belting out songs that portray every little bit of my bipolar hormones" way. Cute songs, catchy lyrics, I can admit to liking (and yes belting them out in my car). But to win Artist of the Year over MJ?! WHATTT??
At the American Music Awards, the Artist of the Year award is obviously the one everyone waits for. Who worked the hardest? Who shook things up? Who was the most talented? This years nominees for that slot consisted of Kings of Leon (I really dont like thier music. I feel bad, because everyone is in love with it, but I cant stand it), Taylor Swift, Eminem (always been a fan), Lady Gaga and MJ. The only two on here who have been in the spotlight more than a year AND who pushed the button are Eminem and MJ. But no, Taylor Swift who has plenty of years to show her skills in the industry beats out these two controversial performers. Now, I am irritated. Doesn't help that in the same half hour I find this out, I hear about New Moon beating Star Wars, Batman and Harry Potter in advanced ticket sales. I would pick Heath Ledger over any vampire, any day, any where.
