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.
Yea for Beyonce
damn Usher still be killing it over ya boy brezzy
SO GLAD BEY WON BEST FEMALE R&B! SI WELL DESERVED!
congratz to nicki minaj on winning them awards keep doing you.

@ERIC Yes…
Adele is definitely pop. Pop stands for “popular music”
I’m glad to see Beyonce win an award!
Damn, Beyonce had more time to make an album better than Loud and she still couldn’t….LOL!!!!!!111
Next Year this s*** will not be like this, Taylor Swift won Artist of the year!!! These AMA was a f****** joke, no real talent, but Adele!! F*** this poser b****, and f*** these awards shows!!
Nicki slayed. Ma girl.
And Adele wasn’t artist of the year? GTFO.
Rihanna SNATCHED that Award LOOOOOOL!
And The Man Beater Still Can’t even win an award and they asked him to perform LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Usher is the MAN Love my n****.
Congrat’s to beyonce and the other’s
Somebody needs to shoot that taylor girl doe.
*Sips Orange Juice*
Adele ain’t American so why would they give it to her,
No effing Lady Copycat/ Bully/ Delusional/ Crappy/ Trash/ Gimmicky Gaga
Taylor was so excited for the artist of the year award and @Nicki Minaj….killin these rat faced ho3s
#WishYouWereThere
LMFAOOOOOOO @YELLOW GORILLAH THAT WOMAN BEATER B****** WAS UP THERE LOOKING SAD WITH HIS BEADY EYES RAT TEETH BLOND HAIR AND CRACKLING VOICE LMFAOOOOOOOOOO CAN’T WIN ANYTHING BUT BET AWARDS SUCH A LOCAL FLOP WHEN IS FAME GOING PLATINUM?????
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
BEYONCE SLLLLLLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY YOUR FAV WITH LIVE AT ROSELAND 🙂
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…
How the hell did Nicki win best rap album.The world is really coming to an end.Pink Friday was a joke.
Ehhhhhhh
I didn’t watch it,and neither did I care to watch it…..Out of all the award shows,I tend to watch the AMAs the LEAST
Grammys>>>>>>>MTV>>>>>>>BET>>>>>>>>A rerun of The Simpsons>>>>>>>>>>>The AMA’s
and Taylor Swift winning AOTY over Gaga and Adele = BLASPHEMY
Congrats to all who won though…..
What rapper lip-syncs?Worst performance ever.Nicki is so overrated.
TAYLOR SWIFT OVER ADELE?!?!?!? where was KANYE?????? that is a hot stank cooch mess!!!!
How does LOUD win Rnb/soul Lmaoooooooooo its like Adele winning best choreography
WHAT THA F***? GAGA DIDNT WIN ANYTHING? F*** U AMA’S
samw thing happened to her last year,
its all lies
LOL @ sleazy
Usher hasn’t put out an album in almost 2 years so why did he win??????? Just don’t get it
NIKKI>>>>>EVERY OTHER FEMALE RAPPER THAT EXIST
The AMA’s are always a joke. Rihanna winning the best R&B album category? Taylor Swift as artist of the year over Adele? Thats why i had no reason to tune in…smh..But i was the BEYONCE screening last night and she looked AMAZING!! The DVD was AMAZING!!!!! This woman continues to slay!
beyonce won fav artist not album ! r&b went to marsha read it again liars.
FAV ALBUM RIHANNA NOT BEYONCES FLOPPING B***.
BEYONCE SUCKS ASS
I think the AMA really needs to check this s*** 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 …
Great for all the Winners!!!!!!!!!!
Princess Rihanna caught a Big Dam Fish
Great for the Princess, all the Others did Great too.
Let this serve as a reminder that slowly but surely
RIHANNA Is kicking asses and Quitely taking Names
All the while her Great Team or Grooming Her for Deeper,
More Serious, And Big Block Buster Movies, She is Focued
on the Big Three Films. Fragrances and Fashion to add to her
Most Sort After Music Career, Haters Slap The P*** out of Yoursleves.
Favorite Album Looks good in Rihannas
Goody Bag Since her two Rivals Fans feel that she
does not know how to pour P*** out of a Boot So Happy
for RIHANNA & WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce over Kelly……..ummmmm NO WAY!
Bey should have won album of the year. Easily.
But well done all!
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.
Yes yes Tha Ama’s got it right by giving the artist of the year to the amazing and talented Taylor Swift. It was well deserved. She is the meaning of greatness.. watch and less other artists!!
TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR
TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR
Okay I may have got a tad over excited but hey! Go Taylor swift!! <3
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
Usher over Breezy…..r u having a laugh…loooooool. Usher is still releasing tracks from that same dead album…Hu the hell is voting for this shite?
LMFAO should have won something they are way better than this so called wiz Khalifa he has only one hit song when lmfao has at least 3 for sure and maroon 5 they put out one good song this year lmfao put out 3 there is no reason lmfao shouldn’t have won
