Beyonce should have won for Soul/R&b album to. Adele of course should have won for artist of the yr. Taylor getting it was a joke. To me artists of the yr. should be decided on by a panel.

Yep! We run this mutha !!
Congrats KingB Bruno Mars Adele Jlo
Thank God justin dint win over credible artists and yall kno they gave Nicki that award to avoid Jay/Kanye vs Lil wayne situation. I’l say Wayne deserves it most in terms of the AMAs They shd jus separate the categories nxt yr bt then who Nicki gon compete with?
Dead at rihana winnin for rnb/soul album lmao maybe ttt will be nominated in the rap category next year. They dont kno wat to do with that broad n her 5head
Btw did yall catch KingB getting tribute with other AMA DIVAS. Now thats wat d eff im talkin about #ICON

The tribute to the great women was amazing, Beyonce was kinda off in that piece, although she is very good at what she does. That was one of the biggest highlights of the show. You don’t have to be American to win an award. It’s all about the quality of te music. Adele is super amazing. She is still artist of the yr., no matter what…

I think the AMA really needs to check this shit out .. How did Nicki even win Best Album over Watch the Throne & Wayne stuff, both albums sold more than pink friday in 2 weeks , LOL … And Kanye & Wanye is fav. over her, she don’t deserve none of those winnings, it just shows anyone cld get an award. and i don’t think usher should be winning awards right about now …

Congratulations for all the winners. I have some obvious complains, but I think everyone here had already posted it for me. Yet, I have to say that, as much a like Rihanna, LOUD is not an R&B album, at least no in its entirety.

Adele doesn’t have to be american to win an award or she wouldn’t have got nominated in the first place. The truth is she sold a lot in the US and Americans love Adele. She is really famous and can reallly sing. She should have gotten that award. I hate taylor swift.

I agree. Wtf at Rihanna winning best r&b album or whatever. Loud was POP. There was 1 r&b song and that was skin. The rest was pop. AMA made a mistake with that and not giving award to Adele.

Yeah..Taylor won!!! she definitely deserves for Artist of the Year…and for those who believe that Taylor didn’t deserve for that award..you got have something wrong with your brain…She has outstanding quality..and she absolutely has better than others…and she has never treat anybody badly not like other who keep provoke and mock her continously..She much more deserves to be respected as an Artist who always work hard for her fans
