Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Eminem, and Ke$ha For AMA's

Katy Perry 
The American Music Awards is November 21st and five artists - Justin Bieber, Eminem, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry - are competing for "Artist Of The Year." Who will you vote for?
This blogger's two top choices are Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry, and for two different reasons.

Lady Gaga more for her great effort at advancing political issues like Gay Marriage as she performs, and Katy Perry for really hitting what modern American Culture is all about.

Perry including Snoop Dogg in California Girls was not just a stroke of genius, but a show of just how diverse our nation's culture has become. The reason why California Girls is so popular is because it brings all people together under one big party tent. California Girls is a celebration not just of California itself, but of how the common divisions that once defined American Culture are slowly fading away.

Perhaps more than any other artist outside Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, in helping to redefine American Culture, has become a custodian of it.  Lady Gaga has set a trend for the new, responsibility rebellious artist - the modern day version of KISS - and with her style has also come to define modern American Culture.  But the way Katy ties Hip Hop and Pop together in California Girls is genius. 

So, after all that, it's Katy Perry for this space.

Whomever you select, don't forget to vote at the AMA website with a click here.

    LOL. are you serious? the uninspired, generic, bland pop tart, and her uninspired, generic, disposable, tiktok-ripoff track?

    I can't tell if that's sarcasm. Hopefully it is..

  3. my vote's for Bieber. as Nash says, he's so young and *already* he's been nominated for every single music awards program so far this year. once Perry and Gaga can get their "messages" across without taking their clothes off, they'll get what they don't have- the slightest ounce of my respect

    Formerly the village women's liberation. Before respected intelligent women today make fun of them.

    The country of freedom has become the country most sexist of all. Now they are even more sexist than here in Latin America.
    Everyone thought that American men were good and faithful BUT ALL WE ARE ADVISED THAT SINCE THE WORST. Example: Before Brad Pitt was a role model for me, but since he deceived his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston fell off my pedestal and all blond hypocrites. They are the most sexist, but the propaganda that they are the best.

    What do you appreciate America?

    Feminine beauty and feelings more or less

    Just as Angelina Jolie.

    But that too was done in the Middle Ages, only appreciated women for their beauty and nothing else. What's twilight?

    America is the cradle of the most sexist saga of the world. A woman who is beautiful as Bella Swan, has good feelings and stupid. What is appreciated in the Middle Ages.
    Please, that fell to the middle ages.
    Men of the Middle Ages only admired pretty women of good feelings and having no brain.
    And you Americans returned to the Middle Ages. Intelligent and decent women should have at least the same respect as the most beautiful.
