I'm not sure I like Kelly's vocal this time. It had the same problem with some of the live performances of Because of You. Technically perfect, but the emotions just don't fit the lyrics.

Is it just me or does Janet really lifts some souls tonight with Together Again? It nice hearing it again. Too bad the crowd is a bit lethargic.

Wow, can I say that the award for the most overrated artist of the decade goes to Taylor Swift? 
Seriously, I don't care what stupid excuse the Taylor stans are going to come up with, but Michael deserved it more than her. I don't care if she sold more records than him, but she (or the AMA voters) tainted his legacy.
This is where I actually wished that Kanye was there.

How the **** did Michael deserve ANY awards? I was pissed he was ****ing nominated. It's complete ********. I understand he died, of course, but he was of no importance this year in the actual industry. His nominations could've been for other artists, even though 99% of the noms were ****ed up. Taylor or GaGa deserved it, point blank.

And forget worldwide sales. TAYLOR SWIFT won this awards show.
Funny these same stans would bash Britney stans for bringing up her sales in so-called irrelevant fights. Don't be bitter AND hypocritical. It looks ****tish.

You're so foolish, do you know that? Michael Jackson is the King of Pop. He has SOLD more albums than Taylor this year alone, so hell yeah, he contributed to the industry. What the **** has Lady GaGa done other than creating a few nice songs and having insanely attention seeking performances?

Yeah, the crowd sucked. They should have had me there - jumping, dancing, screaming, singing!

Michael Jackson is one of my Top 3 artists EVER so don't tell me what he has done, inbred. That does not change the fact that I FEEL he was wrongfully nominated and won. No duh he sold more albums, but these are PAST albums. I personally don't feel it was right for him to be awarded in these nominations. Instead some type of tribute or achievement should've been given separately.
Taylor and GaGa are artists from the period for these award shows, that have sold albums, had hit songs, and worked throughout the year. The stuff you described it was they have done THIS YEAR. Not died and naturally sold millions of their albums. You're thinking longterm, honey. I ****ing know Michael Jackson's legacy. That's just my opinion. Don't have to try to be a bitch about it.

He is the best selling artist of 2009. If you take EVERYTHING into account, so don't say he didn't have importance in 2009. 
Taylor Swift is just getting me more irritated by the second. I don't know why I even bother since I know everyone is going to take her side by default.

That's not the same importance as the artists who were alive and working hard throughout the year. The albums he sold were circumstantial, and couldn't be prevented. I'm not being negative against Michael's legacy. I'd kill myself before I was, but that doesn't change how I feel.

It's not even about me for her, so boom. I felt this way since nominations were announced weeks ago, knowing he would win all of them.

I think it's perfectly okay for the King of Pop to win his last award, and I'm sure your beloved GaGa and Swift would gladly step aside to let him have his final album. It's your opinion, so I'll leave it at that. In my opinion, Michael should have won, but he didn't. He doesn't need an AMA to validate his success and contributions.

He was going to go on tour, you know. Most people forget that. He would have been more relevant than ever.

A honorary notice would've been more acceptable for me, considering he obviously wasn't apart of the last year until his death. And I really hate when people saying "its your opinion, i'll leave it" because you should've shut up in the first place. I'm not saying anything besides I don't feel he should've been apart of the nominations. As for the bolded part you're so ignorant and childish, I don't see why I bother.

In London. As I said, Michael is among my few legit favorite artists. I know what he was doing.
