American Music Awards 2008

Chris Brown a fost marele castigator al American Music Awards 2008, gala ce a avut loc duminica seara. Tanarul interpret a fost desemnat invingator la trei categorii, intre care si `Artistul Anului`.

Bestmusic.ro citeaza: `Nu prea stiu ce sa spun. Daca ar fi fost dupa mine as fi acordat aceasta distinctie trupei Coldplay `, a declarat Chris Brown , care a mai castigat sectiunile `Cantaretul pop/rock al anului` si `Cantaretul soul/R&B al anului`. Kanye West , inca afectat de faptul ca nu a fost numit `Artistul rap/hip-hop al anului` in 2007, a obtinut anul acesta doua trofee. El a declarat, insa, ca acum le merita mai degraba Lil Wayne. `Vreau sa dau acest premiu lui Wayne. Anul trecut ar fi trebuit sa fie premiul meu`, a declarat Kanye West . `E responsabilitatea noastra de muzicieni sa ducem muzica la nivelul la care era in anii `60 si `70`. Imi doresc sa fiu Elvis`, si-a continuat artistul discursul. Jimmy Kimmel, gazda American Music Awards 2008, a glumit insa pe seama aspiratiilor lui Kanye: `Elvis a murit in toaleta cu o jumatate de gogoasa in gura. Poate ar trebui sa te mai gandesti`.

In afara de Kanye West , au mai castigat cate doua premii Rihanna si Alicia Keys .
