American Music Awards
There
was an early Thanksgiving
treat in store for pop music fans in 2007 - with not a turkey
in the bunch....
This
year, the awards were decided by an interactive online poll
where fans got to pick the winner. Voting opened in early October
and closed November 2, 2007.
The live telecast aired on ABC Television on Sunday, November
18, 2007 8PM ET/PT from the Los Angeles Nokia Theatre.
In
2007, Linkin
Park was on the rock music comeback trail with multiple nods.
Other artists getting the lion's share of attention this year
were Daughtry, Justin
Timberlake, Beyonce,
and Carrie Underwood.
Live
performers on awards night included Alicia
Keys, Avril Lavigne, Mary J. Blige, and Nicole Scherzinger
of the Pussycat Dolls.
Every
year, the American Music Awards honors the current crop of pop
music megastars - ranging from country-western, R&B and Latin...to
rock and roll, rap and soul.
The
very first AMA crystal trophy went to singer Roberta Flack in
1973 and since then more than 30 awards have been given out each
year.
