Atlanta well represented at the AMAs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The ATL got plenty of love tonight at the American Music Awards on ABC.
T.I. (currently stuck at home following weapons possession arrest) won favorite male hip-hop artist and album. Akon won best R&B/soul male and Ne-Yo performed a duet with Rihanna. Usher presented Beyonce a special honorary award and sent his wishes to Atlanta native Kanye West for his mom’s death.
Plus, Atlanta country duo Sugarland (below), in a pure “to the left, to the left”-field performance, dueted with Beyonce with a country-fied version of her No. 1 hit “Irreplaceable.” That’s inspired! My colleague Sonia Murray said the song was originally meant by the songwriter to be a country song for Faith Hill.
Finally, McDonough’s Casting Crowns won for best contemporary inspirational act after being nominated last year and losing to Kirk Franklin.
