2008 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS
Without further delay, The 2008 American Music Awards was presented last night on ABC with a couple of "firsts" for the nominated artists. The rather-long music event was hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

Rihanna's "Rehab" performance was done in thigh-high Alexander McQueen boots which was a departure from the ruffle Zac Posen dress she arrived in. Justin Timberlake unforunately did not join Rihanna mid-way through. The Gucci Tattoo Hearts brand face picked up two American Music Awards (her first ever AMA's) for Soul/R&B Female Artist and Best Female Pop/Rock.

Kanye West (in his own clothing design Pastelle) gave a great live performance of his current single, "Heartless." Kanye's last album "Graduation" won one AMA for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album and he also picked up Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Male Artist. During his acceptance speech, Kanye declared that he wants to be like Elvis. 'It's our responsibility as musicians to keep pushing each other. We will be the new Beatles, the new [Jimi] Hendrix. I want to be Elvis.''




Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" dance performance brought the crowd to its feet. Even Queen Latifah got up and did a little bit of "Uh Oh." Gotta love that Armani Privé satin black and white jacket Beyonce had on.

The Pussycat Dolls hit the stage to perform "When I Grow Up" and "Hate This Part." I liked that Melody Thornton had supporting vocals on the first performance set. Project Runway winner Christian Siriano dressed the Dolls for their red carpet appearance.

PCD in Christian Siriano designs




The Alicia Keys "Superwoman" remix with Queen Latifah was the event's last performance and one of the best. At first Latifah's mic wasn't working but when did it, I was blow away. Latifah's rapping again?! Then out nowhere classical vocalist Kathleen Battle joined the performance set. Hands down, hot! Alicia's third solo studio effort, "As I Am" won favorite pop/rock album.






Nick Cannon was such a gentleman as he helped his wife Mariah Carey down a flight of stairs before her "I Stay In Love" performance. Mariah (in Dolce & Gabbana) picked up top honors (honorary award for Favorite Female Artist) at the award ceremony for her record-breaking music career.






Christina Aguilera opened the show with a medley of her hits which included "Genie In A Bottle", "Dirrty", "Ain't No Other Man", "Fighter", "Keeps Gettin' Better" and "Beautiful".

Leona Lewis (in Jenny Packham) and Pink (in Vivienne Westwood) both hit the stage to perform their hit singles. Pink performed twice and she did a duet with Sarah McLachlan. Leona performed her current single "Better in Time."

Natasha Bedingfield and Ne-Yo both performed a medley of their hits. Tocarra was on the scene in a '50s-inspired polka-dot dress. Jordin Sparks (in Dolce & Gabbana) presented with Enrique Igelesias. Justin Timberlake paid tribute to Annie Lennox.

P!NK DOES TWO CLASSIC COVERS + LEONA'S X-FACTOR RUN
Back in late October, P!nk did two brillant covers of "Killing Me Softly" and "Crazy" at the Metro Theatre in Australia. (To keep you up to speed: "Killing Me Softly" was a classic Roberta Flack tune that was remade by The Fugees wheras "Crazy" was a hit track for Gnarls Barkley.) Her raspy vocals rides both tracks effortlessly.

"Crazy"


Leona Lewis performed her current single, "Run" off her album re-release, "Spirit: The Deluxe Edition" on The X Factor for the first time. LOVES IT! In case you missed it, I posted up a sneak preview of Leona's "Run" music video yesterday. Rumor has it that Leona picked "I Will Be" as her next single.

MUSIC HOOPLA: PINK AT MUCH MUSIC CANADA + KANYE PUSHED UP "808'S & HEARTBREAK" ALBUM RELEASE DATE
Live at Much accompanied Pink in support of the singer's upcoming fifth solo album, "Funhouse." P!nk performed her current single, "So What" which also happens to be her first number one hit at the show as well as "Who Knew." You gotta love Pink's personality and respect how she managed to switch up her style...

Last night on ABC, all eyes were set on David Blaine's latest much-too-hyped magic stunt, "Dive of Death." In New York's Central Park, David was seen upside down for three days (re: 60 hours)- a stunt so medically impossible - before performing a 40 feet dive.



Kanye West pushed up his album release date from December to November as he stressed on his blog, KANYWEST.COM/BLOG. Expect a new single with Young Jeezy from Kanye's fourth solo disc "808's & Heartbreak" quite soon but that's if the picture holds any merit.

In Kanye's words: I CHANGED MY ALBUM TO NOVEMBER SOMETHING CAUSE I FINISHED THE ALBUM AND I FELT LIKE IT.. I WANT YALL TO HEAR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
