The American Music Awards are in the same worthless strata of self-congratulatory garbage as The People’s Choice Awards and whatever Nickelodeon is calling their kiddie celebrity celebration. Proof? Chris Daughtry, the American Idol reject claimed a trio of statuettes at the awards ceremony.
Nailing Favorite Pop-Rock Album, Breakthrough Artist, and Best Contemporary Artist, Daughtry cheapened the music industry and further demonstrated that being shitty is okay because the music listening public at large are dumb, tasteless motherfuckers. Yes, for the first time in the show’s history, winners were chosen by public votes cast online. Not that the “professionals” would have done better (anyone remember Jethro Tull’s upset win of Metallica at the Grammys?). His bland, cookie cutter Wal*Mart style of “rock” is about as punk as Green Day and as alternative as Nickelback.
What could make Daughtry any more of a putz? How about this sackless quote:
“Wow. I can’t believe we’re in the same category with Justin Timberlake and Linkin Park. It’s pretty awesome.”
I’m sure he’d have added another trophy if they still had Douchenozzle Of The Year. He’s got my vote there.
