All
about the AMAs
Every
year, the American Music Awards honors the current crop of pop
music megastars ranging from country-western, Latin...to rock
n' roll, rap, rhythm & blues.
The
very first AMA crystal trophy went to singer Roberta Flack in
1973. Since then, stars from every spectrum of the music scene
have been recognized in more than 20 award categories.
For
the third year running, the awards will be decided by an interactive
online poll where fans get to pick the winner. This year's
online polls to vote for favorite American music artists can be
found at ama.abc.com.
Meanwhile,
