“The 2014 American Music Awards” scored a 7.5 rating/11 share from 8-11 p.m., peaking from 9-10 p.m. with a 7.7/11. Comparably, this was nine percent below the 8.2/12 in the overnights on the year-ago evening, and that translated into 13.14 million viewers and a 4.5 rating/11 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data.
The only truly interesting performance was J Lo. Maybe Lorde too. I liked some other moments too, but not enough to be blown away. None of the other performances were special or original enough. The music scene is in desperate need of good overall performers right now.
