RAP/HIP-HOP
Favorite Band, Duo or Group:
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Pretty Ricky
Shop Boyz

Winner: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

They thanked God and their music family. The fans got some praise, too. Bone Thugs N Harmony is the only group here that I am overly familiar with. I am glad they won, because I really like their new song…even if I didn’t know they were the ones singing it.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.

Favorite Male Artist:
Akon
Timbaland
Justin Timberlake

Winner: Justin Timberlake

I was typing this out before they said his name. He is the hottest thing in music these days. He was touring so they had him on over the satellite. He was in scrubs, but he looked good. He cracked a joke, made his thanks quick, and then Kid Rock came out to beat up Jimmy Kimmel (I guess you had to be there.)

Favorite Female Artist:
Beyonce
Fergie
Avril Lavigne

Winner: Fergie

Soul & R&B Winners for the AMAs:

SOUL/RHYTHM & BLUES
Favorite Male Artist:
Akon
Ne-Yo
T-Pain

Winner: Akon

I was stuck with this category. I like Akon and Ne-Yo a lot, and T-Pain isn’t so bad either. It was awesome to see Akon win. This was his first AMA win. He looked pretty good. He was wearing a coat that went to his knees and a basic white shirt underneath. Akon offered the award to T-Pain on stage and they had a little laugh on stage about Akon’s offer to give it to him. T said he would take it, because Akon doesn’t have room for any more awards on his television. Don’t you hate when you run out of room in that spot? I know I do.

Favorite Female Artist:
Beyonce
Fantasia
Rihanna

What She Sang: A Reggae Mix (I missed the name of the song she sang -corrected thanks to help from a commenter) featuring her new song, “No One”

What She Wore: Alicia was looking hot, as usual. She was at her piano. She had a bluish-grey pantsuit on and she looked great with her hair down.

Performance Value: Alicia is one of the best performers today. Her voice is phenomenal. She seems so at home up on stage, though she gave off a slight tremble that I noticed near the beginning. She had some help with Junior Reid and Chaka Demus. As you might expect, I think that this one is going to be the performance of the night. Not a big surprise with Alicia. When the guys were singing she was getting funky with the dancers to the hot reggae beats.

What He Sang: I’ll Be Waiting

What She Wore: A leather jacket, sun glasses, and traditional black jeans or pants.

Performance Value: Lenny was at the piano. I love it when they play and sing. It doesn’t even matter who, pianos are just plain sexy. He had a full band behind him. I had never heard the song. I don’t listen to enough Lenny apparently. The song wasn’t bad. It was slow/mid-paced song and it might have just convinced me to go buy the CD. Lenny got into the song and was belting out some lyrics. It was an amazing performance for Lenny and one of the best so far tonight.
