  3. Bad b**** November 5, 2012

    Isn’t this like the same performers? Like last year? Besides ke$ha (and christina is performing solo this year tho) I would really like to see more. Diff artist get these platforms

  4. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) November 5, 2012

    No Doubt have booked themselves some decent promo I see. I like that! 😀

    Anyway, with all due respect to the other artists and their respective fanbases, I’ll mostly be checking for CHRISTINA AGUILERA hoping she slays that stage! Can’t wait 🙂

      Yet the CD didn’t far well during it’s 1st week of sells. I wonder why no one has droned on about it as they would have had it been an R&B artist?I like No Doubt but the news songs I’ve heard have been crap IMO

  5. MissImpartial November 5, 2012

    It’s always the same artists performing on these award shows. I don’t know why people bother to watch this.

  6. AmbeRuseel November 5, 2012

    They always seem to have that 1 token female rnb singer at this and billboard awards. My guess it will be Alicia Keys performing.it would be nice to see Brandy on a big stage again and perform to a larger demographic than just on BET. Anyways, can’t wait to she Usher promote Looking For Myself and that he didn’t give up on it. And Christina performing new music FINALLY.

    Ciara if your manager is reading this, this will be a great opportunity to promote Got me Good

  8. Speaks Truth November 5, 2012

    Omg CIARA PLEASE PERFORM OR BRANDY KEYSHIACOLE WTF!!! Why can’t they let the fans decide who performs by voting for performers there choices is the same s*** every year and thumbs me down but I also want BEYONCE TO DO A MEDLEY TO OPEN THIS SHOW and where is Rihanna??? Usher performing for what??? Wtf is Chris Brown ughhh this sucks

    • mobwife: wtf is this trash? November 5, 2012

      100% co-sign this comment! 🙂

    • Rihanna black madonna November 5, 2012

      even the fans, did, it would be country winning out, cos that is what sells in America, Only ghetto black girls like ciara and keyshia cole. The rest of the country don’t give a f*** about those h***. That is why they will never perform a unheard of single from a flop LP.

  9. Hilly November 5, 2012

    I’ll be watching for Christina, P!nk, Taylor Swirft, No Doubt and Carrie Underwood, maybe Usher if he sings an R&B track! The rest… I don’t really care!

  10. CBE November 5, 2012

    I will be watching Chris live on his world tour, dont give a damn about this Mickey mouse show, I literally cant think of who I might be excited for…

    • mobwife: wtf is this trash? November 5, 2012

  11. tits mcgee November 5, 2012

    P!nk, Christina, Usher, and No Doubt are who I’ll be watching for..

    TBH, I would like to see older heads like Prince, Janet, Cher,etc. To wake me from this stupor of mostly lack lustre acts…

  12. S****** Blonde November 5, 2012

    Only here for Linkin Park, No Doubt and Pink.

    • MC (Benron is a drag queen) November 5, 2012

      Yes. That is all.

  13. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! November 5, 2012

    Taylor swift:)

    • MC (Benron is a drag queen) November 5, 2012

      who could have guessed?

      • TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! November 5, 2012

        Ha. Who indeed!

  14. mobwife: wtf is this trash? November 5, 2012

    Say it with me people…..B O R I N G……….hiss hiss boo 🙁

    Usher, Ke$ha, Linken Park (again?), TRAILER Swift, Justin BABBLE, Sicki, Wideload ? BORING……ZZZZZ….. I hate the Ameri3kan Music Awards.

    Oh wait, not that horrible DOMESTIC ABUSER pAnk? Damn it must be nice to be a white feminist? You can get away with anything now can’t you? 0_o

  15. tomuchenfo November 5, 2012

    Lol, you already know an award show without Beyonce or Adele is a flop.

    • RICHANDBLACK11(JUST LIKE OBAMA AND BEY) November 8, 2012

      you got that right

  16. mobwife: wtf is this trash? November 5, 2012

    Although I want be watching this shame of an award show, Ne-Yo & Brady should have been invited t perform!!

    ! I will NEVER FORGET that they completely DISRESPECTED BLACK AMERICANS IN GENERAL BUT BLACK MEN IN PARTICULAR by not announcing the winner of the Best Male R&B category in 2011 on the air as they did for EVERY OTHER CATEGORY!! They just gave the award quitely to Usher off-line when they knew damn well Chris deserved that award.

    I bet the ADULTERER & LOWLIFE S**** Blake Sheldon will be presented his award online. I bet that DOMESTIC ABUSER pAnk -if she’s nominated – will also recieve her award online without a word of her abusive past being mentioned!………f*ck the AMAs

    • TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! November 5, 2012

      Is women beater Chris Brown singing?

  17. Belladonna November 5, 2012

    The only people missing from this list is Rihanna, One Direction,Chris Brown, Ciara and Lana Del Rey! And to answer the questions of everyone who says why do the same people perform? It’s because thos people sell and to be real most people on this site like people who don’t sell so that’s why people on this site always say that. But people who like pop music are mostly always happy with the line up. Mostly but not always because that VMA’s line Up was a hot ass mess. Lol they needed Beyonce & Gaga badly.lol But Frank Ocean and One Direction was good tho.

      Oh Gwad! lol I didn’t see that coming! LMFAO.

      • S****** Blonde November 5, 2012

        I like the track listing.

    • That B*tch (Rihllama’s downfall) November 5, 2012

      WTF is MDNA? Oh Lawd, the shade. Thats the s*** I dont like. Im not too crazy about Madonna but she is still a legend. I love Gaga, I have the Fame and the Fame Monster but she needs to remember and respect the b**** she’s trying so hard to emulate. I dont like the tracklisting, seems like a bunch of mumbo that makes no sense. I’m gonna need her to return to her Fame Monster roots which slayed my mothafuckin life. I hope this is no indication of what the album will be like.

      • That B*tch (Rihllama’s downfall) November 5, 2012

        @ S****** Blonde
        You liar lol. There’s at least 2 other track listing leaks I’ve seen.

      • S****** Blonde November 5, 2012

        It’s a joke, how innocent you are, lol.

  19. Chachanans12 November 5, 2012

    Okay not my cup of tea. I would love for emeli sande to perform on one of these shows. I won’t watch but whatever. Good luck to all the performers and I hope y’all fans are pleased with y’all performances. 🙂

  20. The Cryptic Beauty November 5, 2012

    Definitely looking forward to see No Doubt, P!nk, and Carrie Underwood perform… Everyone else I think I’ll pass on.

  21. petra November 6, 2012

    Why is that only the mainstream ones get to perform. Why cant kelly,kesha cole,brandy etc

  22. petra November 6, 2012

    Would love to see bey perform end of time and schooling life

  23. mkigz November 11, 2012

    Can the organisers of the AMAs please get a variety of artists to perform? I am sick of seeing the same artists and seeing mainly Pop artists perform (with the exception of Carrie Underwood). I want to see more R&B performers, more Rock performers, more Hip-Hop performers. It’s a shame that they are only putting on popular performers that would appeal more to the audiences at home.
    If I was the sole organiser of the AMAs….I would make sure to have a variety of artists on the stage.

    Spot on with this write-up, I really feel this web-site needs much more consideration. I’ll almost certainly be again to read much more, thanks for that info.
