Photos of Chris Brown, Rihanna, Paris Hilton at the 2008 American Music Awards Press Room

Rihanna and Chris Lead the Press Room Pack

November 24, 2008

After receiving their honors up on stage, the winners at last night's American Music Awards headed over to the press room with their scary dangerous trophies. Taylor Swift, Jordin Sparks and Rihanna posed with their prizes, while big winner Chris Brown looked like he had a hard time managing his haul. Paris Hilton wasn't taking anything home, but that didn't stop her from striking a few poses for the waiting cameras. Mariah Carey looked the happiest of all the evening's honorees, with one arm holding her statuette and the other around her husband Nick Cannon.

To the first comment about the Beatles and Jimmi Hendrix being 'social/political' changers. I think that's a ridiculous statement. The few artists that did that were more like BoB Dylan, Earth,Wind,Fire,Franke Beverly(not a 'mainstream' artist but a RnB genuis) and quite a few other artists of the 60's and 70's when social consciousness drove music instead of greed/money like today. Though I am not a true fan of Kanye West, I have to give him credit for making some great lyrical contributions to today's music - Jesus Walks,Gold Digga,Blood Diamonds?,and his whole Graduation album. And mainstream may never understand what 'funk' is - because it certainly isn't Grace Jones - she was just weird. So I think bottom line there will never be a 'blending' of music genre's that can be appreciated by all. And since the majority of artists today are trying to do that for the sake of music sales, not for the quality of good music - we probably won't have any greats. Once you blend music genre's-they are no longer rock,RnB,Heavy Metal,Rap,Funk etc - it's just 'Pop'(popular) music. Money didn't rule the artist back in the days of Jimmi Hendrix/Beatles - they did it for the love of music. I do give Chris Brown his credit also, because as a performer - he entertains his audience exceptionally well. And I'm not a teen or tween and I loved his concert. Haven't seen one like it since Michael Jackson.

I enjoyed the show. It was all about strong females thats for sure. The performances, by Pink, Alicia,Queen Latifah, Kathleen Battle, Sarah Maclachan,Annie Lennox,Christina and Taylor were awesome! Rihanna,Kanye and Natasha also did a pretty good job. The only thing that was annoying was the constant mention of MIley cyrus' birthday and anything to do with the Jonas Brothers. Both of their performances were annoying aswell as the hideous performance of the pussycat dolls. I laughed so hard when the one girl couldn't get her coat off. Props to Chris Brown for artist of the year.

While I did think Rihanna was a good performance (and better than I expected) her outfit and the whole stage show was just not matching with that song. It was a weird mix I thought.cync, I thought the audio was all messed up also! I couldnt hear any bass or anything for reason.

Nope, Cherrypop. Don't worry! I think it's waaaaay more important & attractive what your attitude is in life. Way more important than all the superficial & fake stuff Paris is trying to sell to the world. Looks fade, intelligence doesn't.
