SLIDESHOW: Most Overrated AMA Nominee?

Taylor Swift
1 of 8

Taylor Swift

Swift's poppy love songs bring out the teenager in us, but is she really America's Favorite Country Female Artist?

  2. Justin Bieber

    Justin Bieber

    Pop and rock are both in trouble if Justin Bieber is one of America's favorites in this category.

  3. Jennifer Lopez

    Jennifer Lopez

    It's hard to take your eyes off of La Lopez, but is she really the best that Latin music has to offer?

  4. Chris Brown

    Chris Brown

    Rihanna says she’s happy about Brown’s comeback, but it just seems wrong for him to defeat her in the Favorite Album in Soul/Rhythm/Blues category.

  5. Lil Wayne

    Lil Wayne

    We can see voting for Lil Wayne in the Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album category, but Artist of the Year?

  6. Pitbull

    Pitbull

    Who is this guy Pitbull, and when did he become one of America’s Favorite Male Pop/Rock artists?

  7. Maroon 5

    Maroon 5

    Maroon 5 feel kind of 2003 to us, but they’re up for Favorite Band, Duo or Group in Pop/Rock.

  8. Jay-Z and Kanye West - The Throne

    Jay-Z and Kanye West - The Throne

    Did anyone actually “Watch the Throne”? We’ll cast our Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album vote for Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday” instead.

American Music Award Nominations Announced: Who's the Most Overrated Nominee?

Awards season is getting under way! The nominees for the American Music Awards 2011, which air live Sunday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, were announced on Tuesday, with soulful British songstress Adele leading the pack with four nominations.

But some of the other nominees are a little ... puzzling. We can see voting for Lil Wayne in the Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album category, but Artist of the Year? Are Justin Bieber and Pitbull really the best we can do in the Favorite Male Artist In Pop/Rock category? Who's still listening to Maroon 5? Is anyone really watching "The Throne"? And as much as we like Taylor Swift's poppy love songs, is she really America's Favorite Country Female Artist?

Meanwhile, Chris Brown could defeat Rihanna in the Favorite Album in Soul/Rhythm/Blues category, which just seems wrong. And is Jennifer Lopez really the best that Latin music has to offer?

Winners will be determined by online voters, but before you cast your vote, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who is the most overrated American Music Award nominee?

    Justin Bever (as my 5 yr old niece calls him). She's in love with him. I'm so glad she'll grow out of that. The boy can go away any time.

    Justin Bieber is an okay kid, but when it comes to favorite artist in Pop/Rock catagory, he doesn't cut it. Quite frankly, all of the nominees listed are overated. I still listen to Maroon 5, but they're not like they used to be. Lil Wayne I listen to as well, and though he may dominate the Rap/Hip-Hop catagory, he's far far away from being Artist of the Year. I don't even know what The Throne is, so that goes without saying. Taylor Swift is okay, but like Lil Wayne, all her songs say the same thing: She had a love, lost him, got him back, now she's happy, then she screws it up, and somehow at the end tends to get the guy back and live happily ever after. The only one I'd see myself voting for is Adele.

    I've always thought she was overrated. Although, so is Bieber.

    I don't listen to Lil Wayne, or Pitbull, Maroon 5, Chris Brown, Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z, Kanye West, or Justin Bieber. I don't think Taylor Swift is over rated, she writes her
    own songs and is a pretty decent singer. I just wish she would get past all the love songs, and heartache songs and be a bit more current. I would also like to see her change her look, maybe cut the hair, lose the innocent look.

    Sounds simply like in-bitch jealousy and 'cat-girly' stuff to meLOL!!
    Except the very first objection to her [which sounds like "Days of our wives' stuff to me], the rest are shallow and w/o even the skimpiest due cause :(
    As fer the Butt, I posted some real pics just above ;)

    Ok I'm not Justin Bieber fan but at least he does music and dance. Lil Wayne is pure garbage. He is not playing anything in that video and all he is doing is cursing.

    If I assigned overrated points...... Bieber would be at the top with 500, Swift would have 447, Lil Wayne would have 398, Pitbull would have 376, Chris Brown would have 321, Jay-Z and Kanye would have 256, Jennifer Lopez would have 211, and Maroon 5 would have 205.

    How can I vote for more than one? I won't say who's who, but only a couple of acts/people with real talent and ability to entertain in a pack of douchebags and talentless hacks? How do you really expect us to pick just one?

    There all overrated but Lil Wayne's the most. The stuff he talks about is repetitive, the words are about the same, and he insults rap by not telling a story. Unlike Nas, Eminem, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Warren G, Snoop Dogg, Ghostface, and even RZA, he could never define rap in a way that started a revolution. He just is completely overrated!

    Hands down, Justin Bieber wins! I see 417 of you picked Taylor Swift, a Berks County, PA girl who has succeeded beyond your wildest dreams. Jealousy must be hell to live with.
