And The Award Goes To....

The American Music Awards have released their nominations for the 2009 award ceremony and here are the nominations for the Hip Hop and R&B artists. Alicia Keys leads the pack with 5 nominations and how deserving of each one she is. However, I was shocked to see that she made the transition from R&B to Pop effortlessly. Its amazing what a few glamorous dresses and getting up from behond a piano could do for you *snicker*.
