The robb weezy

Jan 1, 2012 – I thought that this would be Rhiana’s big win? Niki Minaj , winning. No way. She a judge on american idol for pete sake. That hair is somethin, wears about 10 pounda a makeup. I saw the Bieber with a boner . I saw Chris Brown with a big boner in his pants.

Breezy shud ave scooped more…

jesus!this is just a Joke!!!Bad joke!
do u really think that Junk Bieber Is better than rihanna or perry ??
What a stupid judge!

i cant believe it is all the same people as last year. and why is Carly Rae Jepson in it? she only is famuos for “call me maybe”

I don’t understand how Carly Rae Jepsen won over One Direction. They’ve accomplished so much in these past few months and all Carly has done is release an extremely annoying and over-played song. At least 1D can sing live. Union J sing Call Me Maybe better that Carly. Let’s be honest, the AMAs are a joke.

The AMAs have been a joke for years, now it has become a travesty with Bieber winning EOY. This punk has no talent; he’s just a manufactured tool for little pre-teen girls who don’t have a clue about music!
