We just got done with one awards show, and here comes another one. This one is the American Music Awards, which will be held on Nov. 21, and of course, include a live telecast of the event.
Taylor Swift was one of the big winners at least year’s AMA’s, taking home a total of five awards. This year, she is one of the scheduled performers for the show. Kid Rock and Miley Cyrus are also listed as performers this year.
Danny Gokey and Jennette McCurdy are listed with those who are going to ‘make an appearance.’ But I don’t think they are scheduled to actually perform. They will probably be among the presenters.
I’d kind of like to see Danny perform though I’d be willing to bet there are a great many people who have not heard Danny since he was on American Idol. anyone who follows country music has, but others just may not have heard him lately. And he’s definitely worth hearing.
Taylor is nominated in the Female Country Artist category, along with Female Country Artist category, along with Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert.
Lady Antebellum are nominated for five AMAs this year. That ties the nomination list with rapper Eminem. The nominations for Lady Antebellum are Favorite Band, Duo or Group in the Pop/Rock and Country categories, Favorite Country Album (‘Need You Now’) and Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist.
I’ll need to clear my calendar for this award show, too. I always watch – although I have to admit I don’t usually know anyone but the country artists when I watch the AMAs and the Grammy Awards. It’s still fun to see what they’ are all wearing, and who wins what.
Talk to you all later – I am in for a super busy week! Concluding with my trip to Pikeville, Ky., on Friday evening, and my ride on the Santa Train Saturday with Wynonna, Naomi — and Santa!
You guys have a great Monday. More later,
Country
I haven’t heard that Danny and Jennette will be on the main show but they are co-hosting (with others) a digital preshow that will be running on abc.com and ustream starting 2-3 hours before the ABC broadcast. It would be fun though if Danny could someday perform or at least present on this type of show, he’s a very good, likable live performer.
Ah, I won’t get my hopes up for Danny to have TV time. I know he’s doing the on line pre-show red carpet interview thing along with Jeanette. I’ll definitely be watching that, should be great
I am going to get my hopes up and be excited that Danny might actually get the national exposure that his talent deserves. Hope what you are saying is so and that he might present. I also would like to see him perform as he definitely can bring it. Thank you for such a nice write up and I also will be watching…..
Thanks for the comments. I didn’t even know about the abc.com broadcast. I was really hopeing that we would get Danny on national TV. But, maybe we can promote the heck out of this ustream / abc.com thing and people will view it there. Thanks again. Appreciate you all reading, and commenting.
