The American Music Awards is an annual American music awards show, created by Dick Clark in 1973 for ABC when the network's contract to present the Grammy Awards expired. Unlike the Grammys, which are awarded on the basis of votes by members of the entertainment industry, the AMAs are determined by a poll of music buyers.
Awards and nominations
37th Annual American Music Awards
The 37th American Music Awards took place on November 22, 2009, at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The nominees were announced on October 13, 2009. For the first time in history, there was no host for the year's ceremony. Instead, various celebrities introduced the performers similar to the procedure at the Grammy Awards. Lady Gaga received 4 nominations, one for "Artist of the Year", another for "Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist", a third for "Breakthrough Artist, and "Favorite Pop/Rock Album" for The Fame.
Performance
Lady Gaga performed a dramatic medley of "Bad Romance" and "Speechless". During "Bad Romance", she was accompanied by dancers, who were all sporting flesh colored suits and lighted exo-sceleton masks. She proceeded to remove her lighted head-piece shortly into the performance. After, she made her way to a glass box which she shattered with her microphone stand, in order to get to her fire spurting piano, in which she would play "Speechless". Throughout the latter half of the performance she broke bottles on the piano in a synchronized manner with the music for dramatic.
