2009 American Music Awards

The 2009 AMA’s were a mix of surprises and not surprising moments of sorts, but I will say those surprises didn’t make me think it was a great show. There was Adam Lambert’s raunchy performance, there was Jennifer Lopez who fell on her biggest asset while trying for a smashing comeback into the music scene, and then of course Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift……hmmm, they won a bunch of awards, enough said.  It’s also notable to mention, while I love me some Lady Gaga, she’s starting to weird me out….Greenday was awesome and I loved the Eminem-50 cent show!

Onward and Forward to Fashion, yippee. I do love the music award shows because they tend to bring out the more fashion forward ensembles….and our loveable Rihanna did not disappoint, hence why she gets my vote for best dressed!  Her dress by Marcesa was, for a lack of a better word, just cool!  The black & white with the floral cutouts, awesome.  As far as the worst…well, there were a few, but I’m going with Kelly Clarkson this year…she just looked so frumpy.  Did she know she was going to the AMA’s or did she get side tracked?  Her hair, horrible.  Her makeup, horrible.  She could not have picked a more un-flattering dress if she had tried.  Seriously.

Now, you know those people you see and you can’t decide if it’s good or bad?  It could either be just WOW, or just UGH?? I have three for this category.  Alicia Keys in Armani Prive (fashion forward maybe?), J Lo in Marcesa and Kate Hudson in Versace.  I really don’t like J Lo’s to be honest, but she had me at the feathers…ahhhhh…..moving on.

Other people who I thought looked fantastic were Fergie with her stunning Armani Prive fitted black dress.  The featured slit caused a few eyes to do a double take.  She pulled it off beautifully.  Carrie Underwood as usual looked nice in her single shouldered dress by Theia.  I say nice only because it just looked so “safe”.  Nothing really fabulous, but she looked nice.

I’m not sure what happened with Leona Lewis and Shakira.  Such beautiful gals, but horrible choices.  Leona, joan jetson called, she needs her dress back…honestlyyyy.  Pointy stuff a the top, balloon at the bottom and then the vinyl…….I can say no more…Shakira wasn’t a disaster, so I’ll just leave it at that.

Xoxo
