Last week, on Tuesday night, one of America’s most memorable times for music took place. The AMA’s, American Music Awards, aired on the channel ABC, October 9th at 8pm ET. The awards ceremony kicked off at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. Adding a good laugh to the show, the one and only, Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the event while attempting to dance during the opening. Giving people at home even more reason to watch the show, fans had the fortunate opportunity of being able to vote for the winners.
While the show consisted of many celebrity, interviews, appearances, and performances, of course everyone had their favorite super star to choose from. Eleventh grader at Hillgrove, Kameron Lee said that “Ciara” had the best performance. Hillgrove junior, Chelsey Onwuzuruike proudly stated that her “favorite performance was by Camila Cabello because she performed with such power and you can really feel what she is feeling when she was singing.” Kayla Simoner, who is a tenth grader that attends Hillgrove, claimed that “Cardi B” had the best performance throughout the show. Obviously, a few of Hillgrove’s students had very different opinions on who their favorites were.
The same way people tend to have favorites is the same way how people tend to have their least favorites or other preferences. When asked who should not have won but did, Kayla honestly responded with, “Camila Cabello won something...I do not remember what, but I know she did not deserve it.” Chelsey said, “For best new artist I feel like Khalid should have won, only because Camila is not necessarily a new artist but Khalid really became well known this year.” Kameron claimed he thought, “Nicki Minaj should have been nominated for hip hop artist of the year.” Kayla and Chelsey seem to have shared similar opinions when it came to Camila Cabello.
Although the AMA’s centers on the celebratory achievements pertaining to American music, many people cannot help but focus on what some of the celebrities were wearing. Chelsey whole heartedly expressed that, “Lauren Jauregui had the best outfit. The whole appearance with the dark purple colors on her dress and the makeup is just perfect.” Kameron could not just choose one artist when questioned who had the best outfit, so he chose two instead. He simply stated that “Normani and Cardi B” had the best outfits. Kayla said that the hostess “Tracee Ellis Ross” had the best outfit at the AMA’s.
Despite people having their disagreements or personal opinions about certain things, overall, everyone enjoyed being entertained and getting to see the famous figures they cared for make an appearance.
