Random Musings during the AMAs

And now, some of my very random musings during tonight’s 2008 American Music Awards:

Jimmy Kimmel is just not a good host and he looks almost cross-eyed tonight
AHH! I missed half of it?! Damn. I should get TiVo.
Beyonce’s black and white sort of Viktor & Rolf-meets-Gareth Pugh jacket is hot. She’s awesome. I want her body. I love her new song Single Ladies – no wonder Jay-Z finally put a ring on it. And her back-up dancers? Damn.
Wait a sec…I know that dress! Is Mariah Carey actually wearing the same Dolce dress that Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta wore to DeShawn’s Night of a Thousand Stars gala event? Didn’t anyone tell her? Oh, and why is poor Nick Cannon helping her down from the stairs and kissing her hand? I guess it’s meant to be sweet?
Woah – Natasha Bedingfield should fire her stylist. The hair and the ill-fitting tux is awful; the red dress is just ok at best. How old is she anyway? Is the The Hills on?
The Pussy Cat Dolls should not wear patent leather – too obvious and way too shiny
Rihanna looks like a cupcake getting ready to marry Karl Lagerfeld in her founcy Giambattista Valli-like layered dress. Cute, but too short. Hate the gloves.
Now she’s wearing a crystal eye-patch for her performance for the Justin Timberlake-written song, Rehab? Really Rihanna, we know you’re cool, but the eye-patch, spikes, chains, faux-hock, big flame bursts – it’s all just a little much don’t you think? She doesn’t still need to try that hard – or does she?
The Jonas Brothers really are pretty cute boys.
Alicia Keys looks lovely and sounds great – but why does she keep bringing her purse up on stage each time she accepts an award? She’s either the new face of Judith Leiber or must be expecting a really important call.
Annie Lenox is awesome, no wonder my mom used to listen to her all the time.
Kanye West needs a haircut.
There are soo many Disney artists out now. I feel old. Miley Cyrus is really just turning 16?! I feel really old. Taylor Swift is odd looking, but still pretty. I should really put on a moisturizing mask now…
Chris Brown just won artist of the year? Really?
Ok, now I want ice cream.

I can’t believe it, but I actually watched the AMAs this year. I thought Beyonce was AMAZING. You know how I am about most pop music, but she is one woman I will make an exception for… and I’m not just saying that because she is from Houston. I was telling Caelan how much I love that someone like her is put up in the media as sexy. I’m so tired of having industry groomed and built tweens put up as sex symbols and shoved down our collective throats. The white and black-TO DIE FOR. I was also really impressed with Pink’s retro hair. I just cut mine about that length and was wondering how hard it would be to accomplish that look.
