American Music Award (AMA) Predictions

If I am not mistaken, Katy Perry is opening and Miley Cyrus is closing this lackluster night of music.  The Grammy Awards are the "prestigious"music award, although their nominees rarely match a critical reflection on music, they are in fact the worst with regard to this out of the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Tony). The American Music Awards are I would argue even less meaningly the a MTV Video Music Award, but there should be some interesting moments.  The AMA winners are based in sales and popularity, its the musical version of the People's "Choice." So who will win?
