Present for the announcement was comedian, writer and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who is returning for his fourth time to host the 35th anniversary of the popular awards show. Actress and singer Ashanti and pop rock group the Jonas Brothers were also on hand to announce the list of nominees. For the first time in American Music Awards history, winners will be determined by online voting at ama.abc.com (votes will be collected from Oct. 9 to Nov. 1). Winners will be announced at the 2007 American Music Awards ceremony, which will be broadcast live on ABC, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 (8:00-11:00 pm ET/PT) from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Linkin Park and Daughtry lead the pack with three nominations each. Timberlake is nominated for Favorite Male Artist. His album FutureSex/LoveSounds is up for Favorite Album: Pop or Rock and Favorite Album: Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Beyoncé is nominated for Favorite Female Artist: Pop or Rock and Favorite Female Artist: Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Her album B’Day was nominated for Favorite Album: Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Linkin Park is nominated for Favorite Band, Duo or Group: Pop or Rock; Favorite Artist: Alternative Rock Music. Their album Minutes To Midnight is up for Favorite Album: Pop or Rock. Newcomer Daughtry is nominated for Favorite Breakthrough Artist; Favorite Artist: Adult Contemporary Music. His self-titled album Daughtry is up for Favorite Album: Pop or Rock. Initial nominees were selected by using ballots containing names compiled from data supplied by the music industry trade publication, Radio & Records and Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks retail music sales. The ballots were then sent to a national sampling of more than 15,000 people based on what type of music they listen to, what they buy and how many albums they purchase per year. The sampling also took into account geographic location, age, sex and ethnic origin. The top three vote getters were determined to be the nominees for this year’s American Music Awards. New Online Voting Procedures The American Music Awards also announced that for the first time music fans will be able to choose which nominated artists ultimately win the coveted awards. This year members of the public can vote for nominated artists by going online and voting at ama.abc.com. Dick Clark Productions, which was recently acquired by RedZone Capital, came up with the concept to open the voting to the public online after the nominations process was completed when the Company started planning the 35th anniversary edition of the awards show. After examining the show’s roots, and how the voting was conducted in the past, the Company’s new management decided that the internet provided an ideal way to determine which musical recording artists were truly America’s favorite artists in each of the twenty different categories. “When we acquired the Company we decided to examine what the American Music Awards was all about. We determined that the show was designed to tap into the views of the record buying public and reward America’s most successful and favorite musical acts,” said Terry Bateman, CEO of Dick Clark Productions. “The internet allows us a way to bring millions of potential voters into the voting process. Now instead of limiting the voting to thousands of people, millions of people will have the opportunity to vote. It is America’s awards show, so why not let the public choose which nominees win?” The voting process is being conducted in conjunction with ABC and is being overseen by the accounting firm Ernst & Young. Confirmed Performances and Credits Larry Klein, producer of the 2007 American Music Awards, announced that Daughtry, Celine Dion, Fergie and Rihanna have confirmed to perform. Louis J. Horvitz is directing. Writers will be Barry Adelman and Fred Bronson. Executive in Charge of Production is Bob Bardo. Associate Producer is Don Harary.

CSCfan Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:28 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:28 PM And she will probably already be in South-Africa rehearsing or sight-seeing when the Grammy's take place Quote »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» MATHIAS ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzPrxI0AIDY

Céline's Blues Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:32 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:32 PM i pray she'll sing"eyes on me"...i know it has to be TC but it's just that EOM can really make people go crazy and buy the album Yes, she will sing Eyes On Me, Shudders And Buddahs (Phil Spector unreleased song) and Did You Give Enough Of Love. Oh and also a remix of Sorry For Love. All live, and she will sing it. I pray, too! 50 songs live! I pray too that they won't take her off stage violently after she refuses to stop after the 50th song... Quote http://i.imgur.com/dmreJ.jpg
stevo Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:33 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:33 PM And the Blues version of Have You Ever Been In Love Quote
thevoice Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:34 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:34 PM i pray she'll sing"eyes on me"...i know it has to be TC but it's just that EOM can really make people go crazy and buy the album Yes, she will sing Eyes On Me, Shudders And Buddahs (Phil Spector unreleased song) and Did You Give Enough Of Love.

Nooooooooooooooooo, the second single is Alone! But she'll sing Taking Chances - the song deserves that. Quote http://i.imgur.com/dmreJ.jpg
stevo Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:37 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:37 PM But it'll be the first single that she'll sing at the show. American Music Awards, Dancing With The Stars, X Factor...a perfect start. And so much more to come. She's working hard Quote

thevoice Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:42 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:42 PM yeahh as i said I KNOW she'll sing TC i just hope for EOM and as we all know she'll probably sing a shortened version of TC . Quote
Say What? Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:45 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:45 PM On the one hand, it's good that she'll be performing at the AMA. Sadly that show is not very widely watched unlike the Grammys. And Celine will not be in South Africa during the Grammys. The Grammy Awards are on February 10 and Celine doesn't start her tour until the 14. This is her comeback album and she ought to be at the Grammys, the most important night in the music world. And who knows: she's so powerful that she may be the first singer to perform at both event, especially if she's nominated. Quote
thevoice Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:47 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 05:47 PM she can't be nominated for 2008...maybe 2009 . Quote
