And in our final installment before we tell you who the winners were, we take a look at the music category. This being more “pop” music, I can’t say I follow most the nominees but I’ll make my pics anyways. If you haven’t already, you can vote for them here.
Favorite Male Artist
Eminem
Jason Mraz
John Mayer
Keith Urban
Tim McGraw
Looks like a few of these are probably country artists so I wouldn’t exactly be familiar with their music. But I do know Eminem and though I find his stuff a little repetitious, every now and then he delivers something I like.
Favorite Female Artist
Beyonce
Britney Spears
Carrie Underwood
Pink
Taylor Swift
Though I’m tempted to give it to Taylor Swift after her speech got shafted by you know who, I do have to give Beyonce credit here. Just look at all the Single Ladies videos on YouTube.
Favorite Country Artist
Brad Paisley
Carrie Underwood
Keith Urban Rascal Flatts
Taylor Swift
Ok Taylor… here’s your moment. My vote goes to you. Speech! Speech! Speech! No Kanye Noooooo!!!!!
Favorite Breakout Music Artist
Adam Lambert
Demi Lovato
Kris Allen
Lady Gaga
Susan Boyle
Susan Boyle??? Really??? Ummmm As much as I’m not into most her music Lady Gaga is everywhere these days so she’s getting my stamp here.
Favorite Rock Band
Daughtry
Green Day
Kings of Leon
Muse
Paramore
I want to pick Green Day just because they’ve been around so long but I think I’m going to go with Muse. I dig what they’re doing.
Favorite Music Collaboration
Cobra Starship & Leighton Meester for Good Girls Go Bad
The Lonely Island & T-Pain for I’m on a Boat
T.I. & Rihanna for Live Your Life
Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat for Lucky
Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West for Run This Town
Well considering Rihanna has two songs up there she’s going to get my vote. Now I just have to decide which one. I think I’m going to go with Run This Town because I also like Jay-Z. Unfortunately, Kanye also gets thrown in but, such is life.
Favorite R&B Artist
Alicia Keys
Beyonce
Jennifer Hudson
Mariah Carey
Usher
Ummmm Beyonce again here. If she’s the best lady she only has to beat out Usher and I couldn’t tell you what he’s done lately short of producing.
Favorite Pop Artist
The Black Eyed Peas
Britney Spears
Katy Perry
Lady Gaga
Taylor Swift
I think I’m going to go with The Black Eyed Peas simply because they haven’t any other category they can compete in and their latest album is killing it with every single released. I’m not the biggest fan of all the auto-tune they used but there’s some good beats.
Finally there’s one more category which makes no sense but needs to be brought up and that’s the “Online” category for
Favorite Web Celeb
Andy Samberg for his SNL digital shorts
Ashton Kutcher for his race with CNN to one million Twitter followers
Miley Cyrus for her explanation for leaving Twitter
P. Diddy for his oversharing Tweets and YouTube videos
Will Ferrell for his Funny or Die empire
Since the gossip of celebs doesn’t interest me nor do celebrities in general, it becomes a competition between Will and Andy. My vote goes to Will as Funny or Die comes out with some really good pieces sometimes.
