American Music Award Nominations Announced: Who's the Most Overrated Nominee?
SLIDESHOW: Most Overrated AMA Nominee?
Justin Bieber
-
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?
"me too, what's your favorite song by her?"
"i don't know what are some of the things she sings" Taylor Swift ;P she doesn't need to sing a thing as far as I'm concerned.
