Ok, so I realize that there are too many awards shows to expect folks to watch all of them, but if I had to pick my faves the AMAs would definitely be in the Top 5 and last nights show was a perfect example of why!
From P!NK performing a tribute to the ICONIC Olivia Newton John, to Carrie Underwood channeling her inner P!NK, to Lionel Ritchie accepting the ICON award it was a night dedicated to celebrating so many of the artists we love and the music that is the soundtrack to our lives!
Here are a Few of My favorite moments from last nights AMAs:
Lets start with Pink's tribute to Olivia Newton John aka Sandy who we lost to cancer earlier in 2022...
Ummmm...I'm Not Crying....You're Crying!!!
Good Lawd P!NK can SANG and I love how everyone in audience knew all the words to Hopelessly Devoted!!!
R.I.P. ONJ...Gone but Forever with Us in Spirit and in Song!!!
Now, lets talk Taylor Swift for a minute. Our girl cleaned house last night winning all 6 of the AMAs she was nominated for including Artist of the Year!
He re-recorded RED album also won Pop Album of the Year and this is what she had to say when she won....
We all know why the Re-Recorded albums mean so much to TayTay and we LOVE that she never backed down and has continued to fight for herself, for her music, and for other artists!!!
Now, lets talk about another fighter and incredibly BAD A** Artist...Carrie Underwood...who absolutely slayed the Red Carpet and her AMAs performance as well!!!
Let take a look at her Red Carpet Lewk...

Yeah, definitely adding Carrie to my must see LIVE in concert list!
And last but not least, one of my favorite artists of all time was honored with the ICON award.
After 40+ years in the music business it's an understatement to call this man an ICON yet no-one deserves it more than Lionel Ritchie!
Check out his acceptance speech:
And those epic words were followed by this EPIC performance...
Think it's pretty clear why the AMAs always manage to land at the TOP of my awards show watch list...
Grammys...the bar has been set...don't disappoint!!!
