This has been a huge year for music so far: Taylor Swift has won every trophy imaginable, Whitney Houston is staging her comeback, and Michael Jackson is still topping the charts, even after his death. Perhaps that’s why tonight’s American Music Awards sounds even better than in the past - and I’ll be at the show to bring you all of the exciting moments! Let’s go over what to expect from the evening. First off, the performances. There are so many big-name acts I honestly can’t choose which is my favorite . Janet Jackson is opening the first eight minutes, but The Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Adam

Lambert, Rihanna, and Carrie Underwood are taking the stage, too, among others. (I cannot wait to see what over-the-top spectacle Gaga has up her bedazzled sleeve!) As for the awards, everyone will be watching to see if Michael Jackson earns a posthumous statue; he’s up for five categories, bested only by Taylor Swift who is in the running for six. Check back for my coverage on all the winners, or follow me on Twitter where I’ll be sending regular red carpet sightings. The show starts at 8/7c on ABC - are you tuning in?
