ama awards 2009 performances

J. Lo fell on stage Adam Lambert’s performance raised um eyebrows with his crotch-kicking oral-sex referencing performance and Taylor Swift continued her award-winning dominance by grabbing Artist of the Year. It’s the 2009 American Music Awards which is apparently something about which people now care.
The ceremony which took place last night saw actress Jennifer Lopez make a case for herself as a candidate for the Three Stooges remake by having a little spill on the AMA floor. Happens to the best of us so no worries J. Lo! Watch the video of her spill here:
To be fair J. Lo was climbing a staircase of man-meat which looks like an attempted feat that is as ludicrous as it is unsafe. The fact that she only had a minor slip appears to be a miracle.
And what about Adam Lambert? That’s a thing right? Well apparently it’s a thing that has a penchant for face-humping as this clip from his AMA performance indicates (take a look at about the 1:00 minute mark). Between this and the J. Lo performance it was bondage night at the 2009 AMAs. It’s as if someone looked at old Cirque Du Solei footage and said “I think that’s a little too restrained. Let’s try something with a little more zazz!” Sure award shows have lots of spectacle but this is kind of out-of-control. Apparently crotch-grinding is still transgressive? Like Michael Jackson transgressive?
But do you want to know who’s in control right now? Of music of life of not being interrupted by Kanye West? You guessed it. Frank Stallone. No! I mean Taylor Swift. Swift won the Artist of the Year proving that blond girls with pretty songs and pretty guitars never ceases to impress the general population. So hot damn!
Speaking of hot how about Lady Gaga doing that running-in-place dance over and over again? If nothing else she proved that she’d make a heck of an aerobic instructor. One-and-two-and-three-and-four!
