American Music Award Nominations Announced: Who's the Most Overrated Nominee?
SLIDESHOW: Most Overrated AMA Nominee?
Taylor Swift
-
Taylor Swift
Swift's poppy love songs bring out the teenager in us, but is she really America's Favorite Country Female Artist?
-
Justin Bieber
Pop and rock are both in trouble if Justin Bieber is one of America's favorites in this category.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Lil Wayne
We can see voting for Lil Wayne in the Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album category, but Artist of the Year?
-
Pitbull
Who is this guy Pitbull, and when did he become one of America’s Favorite Male Pop/Rock artists?
-
Maroon 5
Maroon 5 feel kind of 2003 to us, but they’re up for Favorite Band, Duo or Group in Pop/Rock.
-
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.

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?
My aunt lives in J.Lo's hometown
and teaches at her old dance school and they needed to raise money and they gave s letter about it to J.Lo's manager she never replied. It is so J.LO!!!!!!
SHE WEARS SHORT SKIRTS, I WEAR T-SHIRTS! SHE'S CHEER CAPTAIN AND I'M ON THE BLEACHERS!
Well. If you're so bitter about it, wear a freaking short skirt every once in a while. Stop whining and take charge of your destiny. If you didn't talk about a new boy each song, maybe I could relate to your heartache. Come on.
and to answer your question SodaHead. I most Definitely still listen to and adore Maroon 5, Pitbull is awesome but I've liked him since before he became popular in the United States .
-Taylor Swift simply hasn't done anything this year. What, exactly, is she being given an award for?
-I don't think I need to comment of Bieber.
-Sorry, J-Lo, but why are you back? Nobody asked for you to be back. You definitely don't NEED to be back. So, why?
-The other are all just a-holes or completely redundant. Or both.
All talent-less losers.
too bad you can't understand a word he says.
