Tweeting the American Music Awards

Proving once again there is no limit to how much television can ruin a perfectly good song (hear me, ad people who keep putting "Hey Soul Sister" in commercials) the American Music Awards brought out the worst and not-quite-as-bad in live performances Sunday night.
Eminem was a big winner, snatching two AMA awards; and Taylor Swift stepped on stage with straight hair and a bang-up look that says, "hey, look at me-I'm all grown up now!"

I missed the live event on ABC, but I am getting my fill of reviews from the Twitter:

@tmorello I used to think I LIKED music. Then I watched the American Music Awards and now I'm not so sure.

@LoserKyd Taylor Swift acceptance speech was perfect... She's the truth #ama2010 American Music Awards 2010
