A sosit acea perioada a anului in care industria muzicala americana isi alege cei mai buni artisti. American Music Awards 2012 sunt dominate de Nicki Minaj si Rihanna la categoria cu cele mai multe nominalizari, alaturi de Justin Bieber si One Direction.

Categoriile cele mai interesante sunt, evident, Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Artist Pop/Rock si Favorite Male Artist Pop/Rock. Rihanna are patru nominalizari: artistul anului unde se bate cu prietena ei, Katy Perry, Favorite Female Pop/Rock categorie unde mai este nominalizata si Nicki Minaj si artista R&B, unde, surprizator, a fost nominalizata si Beyonce.

La categoria artistilor lider in nominalizari este, asa cum ne asteptam, Justin Bieber, care puncteaza la Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist Pop/Rock si Favorite Album Pop/Rock pentru Believe. Alaturi de el mai sunt nominalizati Drake si Usher, iar One Direction au punctat si ei 2 nominalizari pentru Favorite Band si New Artist of the Year.Trupa britanica deja a primit acest titlul la MTV VMA de anul acesta si sunt trecuti la aceasta categorie inclusiv la MTV European Music Awards.

American Music Awards va avea loc pe 18 noiembrie la Los Angeles la Nokia Theatre si va fi transmis live. Vom avea parte de super showuri, ca in fiecare an, pana acum insa singura confirmata fiind Christina Aguilera. Ea isi promoveaza cel mai nou single – Your Body si albumul Lotus, deci mai mult ca sigur vom avea artisti in plin proces de promo sau de lansare a unor noi materiale.
