Eminem led the pack in nominations.
Kid Rock performed a song.
Mike Posner presented an award.
At least Eminem won for favorite rapper. But he was smart enough not to bother to show up for that P.O.S. event.

Check out Kid Rock's performance at the American Music Awards last night. Keep an eye on the slide show in the background.
Agree with you, izzyindetroit.Quote:

As for Eminem, he sure lost many categories to Justin Bieber.
OOps, overlooked the other KR thread tho' it lacks a link to the performance. Feel free to just move my post over to the other thread.
Thanks for the link. Didn't think I could appreciate Kid till now.
very good song and performance.. I was looking at the background images, good shout outs to detroit.. is all the album like this, AC ballads?
Wow... I'm numb..... if this doesn't say for Kid Rock.... "ich bin ein Detroiter".... then nothing will...
I hope this puts to rest all the naysayers about Kid Rock being a Detroiter.... if this doesn't change your mind.... then you need to be checked for a pulse...
Over the years Kid Rock has slowly won me over. He is a homer who sticks up for and elevates our wounded city. I had heard this song before and it is beautiful, soulful and a gentle but loud, unapologetic Yes for Detroit.
Oh my, that was cheesy.
I guess one persons Camembert... is another persons' Limburger....:rolleyes:Quote:

And if you are from this area, you have to be moved to see the Spirit of Detroit still and the Made in Detroit still at the end of the song. And also to see a standing ovation, it gets quite emotional watching that video.
LOL! I agree, I hate to be so out of touch but the 'kind' of music celebrated in those shows is not my thing. With the exception of a few I just don't get into contemporary pop and rock and rap of today. I did check out the Kid Rock tune... kinda cool indeed!Quote:

Jesus. You guys really call that noise, "music"?????
Even I call it music, Ray, and I'm old. The guy's got talent.
LOL.... Ray let's put this into perspective.... :DQuote:

Lawrence Welk has been dead for 20 years now.... Bobby & Sissy don't get around much anymore.... and ever since JoAnn Castle had her hip replacement surgery... she doesn't bounce around on the piano stool like she used too....
But here's something to your liking Ray that also has a Michigan connection [[in fact it lost to "White Christmas" for an Academy Award in 1943).... the first 4:20 minutes of this recording...

[[P.S. Besides Glenn Miller on trombone, there's Jackie Gleason on Double Bass and Cesar Romero on Piano...)
IF that was cheesy I'll take some fries with that.:D AWESOME!!Quote:

Ah, that's good stuff, Gistok. And not one stinkin' guitar in the bunch. I wonder how many of today's 'entertainers' really know how to play his/her guitar other than three chords?Quote:

[[I wonder how many DYers are wondering, "Who the F is Andre' Rieu?)
Not me. I'm just wondering if you can say "stay off my lawn" if it's just white rocks.Quote:

Never think of it. But it's easier to clean up dog poop.Quote:

If ever there was a building that has 9 lives, it is the Semper Opera House. Built in the early 19th Century, it burned down in 1858... only to be rebuilt again in pretty much its' original form....and then on Feb. 13, 1945 the firebombing of Dresden destroyed it for a 2nd time.... lying as a ruin for 30 years it was rebuilt 1975-85 and is once again the most famous of German Opera Houses.
You cannot deny his talent, seeing the list of instruments he plays.Quote:

Actually you can deny his talent.Quote:

Just getting the notes in the right order is my problem. Even my drums is out of key.... :D:D
