The 2009 American Music Awards are underway and we’ve already had some pretty awesome performances. Held at the Nokia Theater, the awards show commenced with an eight-minute performance by Janet Jackson.

So far the greatest performance of the evening goes to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ song, “Empire State Of Mind”. Also performing tonight were Daughtry, Shakira, Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, the Black Eyed Peas, and more.

My favorite performance of the entire night was Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and “Speechless”. To separate the songs, she broke the glass wall that encased her piano. It was so over the top and great, definitely the best performance of the night.

The Country Music Awards were on tonight…for the two of you out there that actually care about this crap….Yes, mom, I’m looking at you….

The highlights of the show included Taylor Swift winning a buttload of awards and throwing a chair, along with Hootie winning an award, and Carrie Underwood with Brad Paisley making a Kanye West joke.

After the jump, for the comedy: (continue reading…)

Rumor has it that Britney Spears might be set to perform on the finale of “American Idol”.

She’s rumored to be taking the stage on the night that’s dedicated to finalists Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Confirmed appearances on the show include Lionel Richie, Queen Latifah, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper (yay), Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban, along with past winners David Cook and Carrie Underwood.

Producers of the show have not confirmed any appearance by Britney, so we’re guessing at this point. Who else would you like to see on the finale?

In other Britney Spears news, apparently she sure knows how to spend the dough. She spent a whopping ten million between February and December, on Kevin Federline, child support, lawyers, and security.

The 2009 Grammy Awards were in full effect tonight and U2 opened the show with their new song, “Get On Your Boots”.

Whitney Houston was on stage to present the Best R&B Album Award. She looked good and thanked “visionary”, Clive Davis.

Best R&B Album – Jennifer Hudson

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was on stage, acting like a dork, talking about Katy Perry’s song, “I Kissed A Girl”. He also told us of all of the people who would be performing tonight. The Rock is no comedian and he told a joke that really fell flat in Katy’s face.

Justin Timberlake took the stage and discussed Al Green’s music. Everyone is trying to be a comedian tonight and it’s not going over well. He introduced Boys 2 Men, Keith Urban, and Al Green, who all performed together, along with Justin. This performance is good, but the audio seems rather poor quality.

Keith Urban’s rep has confirmed that he is suffering from a slipped disc. The rep wouldn’t comment on how he got the injury, though. He’s not letting any back problems stop him from kicking a little country butt on stage, either.

He mentioned the injury to fans at a concert Saturday night, but was said to have “went on to deliver an enthusiastic performance.”

Get well Keith and try not to suck so bad. Maybe he should try his hand at some good old fashioned rock and roll?
