2011 American Music Awards Results

This years American Music Awards (AMA) was really less than stellar.  We’ve said before that radio play nowadays is increasingly less substance ever year and this year was no exception. Despite decent performances from Hot Chelle Rae, Maroon 5, The Band Perry and Will.i.am & J-Lo’s glow in the dark show, most all other performances fell just short of “yawn-able” including Justin Bieber’s amateurish looking performance that came off as if he was singing to people at a retirement home party.  Either way, here are your winners.
