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.

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?

    Well, Doc, let's just agree to disagree, because you can talk yourself blue in the face, and I'm still not going to like rap. But, I'm glad you like it and can see all the poetic devices it uses. Do you go to college? You would be the teachers' pet for sure-you sound more intelligent than some of the 18 year olds I've talked to.

    When did you think I was being sarcastic? When I asked about underground hip hop? I wasn't being sarcastic, I was asking a serious question, and I was being serious when I said I would try to listen to it.

    Bwahahahahaha -and NO attempt by the actual guitarist to make it even sound like he was doing anything. Snort! Nilly-Vanilly guitarist. ROTFLMAO...

    Jermaine Pollard
    After reading this I've come to realize that's all true! His last cd was horrible/repetitive. Don't get me started on his rock cd either!

    I haven't heard many of his songs, but how to love doesn't seem like anything you described above.

    I don't think I'm familiar with their music, so I can't really say one way or another if he's overhyped or not.
