Michael Jackson Is Up For Five AMA Nominations, And Hell Has Frozen Over - Page 2
Yes Jackson has helped some people over the years. Ok.
But the Nobel Peace Prize?
He doesn't exactly have the best reputation. *snicker*
Remember?
Remember that tiny little court case where he showed up in his PJ's?
You know, the one where they let him go even though the evidence was a mountain high? *grumble*
So back to the most ridiculous AMA Awards in the history of the AMA.
A truthful snipette LA Times:
Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" will compete for favorite album in the pop/rock field against Lady Gaga's "The Fame" and Taylor Swift's "Fearless."Both of the latter have a decent shot at being represented at the upcoming Grammy Awards, but the latter won't feature any albums from Jackson.
That's because his "Number Ones" was released back in 2003. What's more, the album is simply a greatest hits compilation, featuring only a pair of songs actually released this decade. Regardless of retail impact, a 2009 award show should be restricted to albums actually recorded within its recent history. At last check, Jackson has already won plenty of American Music Award trophies for the songs on "Number Ones," including an artist of the century accolade in 2002.
A segment or two honoring Jackson would have been a better way to recognize the King of Pop's contributions to music. The MTV Video Music Awards opened with a tribute to the star, and the 2010 Grammy Awards will surely feature some sort of Jackson memorial. Yet giving the artist posthumous awards, especially when said artist hasn't released an album of new material since 2001, seems an unfair slight to today's current crop of pop stars.
Yes! Exactly!
Thank you LA Times!
I think it is a damn shame that other artists are going up against someone that recorded an album SIX YEARS AGO, and who won't be present to accept, because of a little minor detail that can not be rectified. What is it again? Oh yeah.. HE IS DEAD.
Further more, do people think that Jackson would have been nominated if he was still alive?
HELL NO!
Under these circumstances, and besides that other little thing about Jackson.... what was it again? Oh yes... the fact that he was an alleged child molester, who admitted on camera to sharing his bed with young boys...
I think if he wins ANY one of these awards, it will show just how insane people really are and I may have to donate some money to NASA so they can continue working on an alternative planet for me to move to. (certainly not the moon, Jackson was already there too)
