Last night was the 36st annual American Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. The award show was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. There were many performance from artists such as; Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Ne-Yo, Miley Cyrus, Pink, and Kanye West, just to name a few. The biggest winner of the night had to be R&B sensation Mr. Chris Brown. The 19 year-old left L.A. with three AMA awards which were: Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist for R&B/Soul and Favorite Male Artist for Pop/Rock. His girlfriend Rihanna won two awards which were for Favorite Female Artist in the same categories as Chris Brown. Kanye West won an award for best Rap/Hip-Hop album for his album Graduation and for favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist, which he decided to offer to Lil Wayne because he left that this year was Weezy’s and last year was his. It was good that Kanye won because I did not want to hear about another temper tantrum on stage from Kanye. Other notable winners were Alicia Keys for favorite Pop/Rock and Soul/R&B album, Three 6 Mafia who won Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Band, Duo or Group, and Mariah Carey was recognized for having the most #1 hits of all time.
