Usually I stay clear of the AMA's, but I guess I'll be watching I am actually really interested to see Favorite Male Country Artist, Brad, sorry to him, but he's going to have no chance, he's going up against Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, the two undeniable superstars of modern country, I don't think they've ever actually gone up against each other, so this one will be interesting to watch.

Wow, what a totally crap bunch of nominations. Across all categories.

Eh, the country one's aren't so bad, there's been better albums than Carrie Underwood's though, but apart from that, the country one's a relatively spot on, although I'm positive Rascal Flatts' album got nominated last year, but they aren't too bad.

The crappy thing about the AMA's is that they only have the 3 nominees in each category, you don't see much variety.
Tbh, I'm only gonna be watching them for one reason, and that's to see if Garth wins, if he doesn't then I couldn't care less who wins what.

Agreed, except for the country ones. The only bad nominee in that category is Carrie Underwood.
