2013 American Music Award Nominees

This year's nominees, like every year, represents the most popular names in music. So I was thrilled with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were nominated, because while they are definitely popular, they are also really talented. Of course the likes of Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars got plenty of love, but the biggest snub was of Justin Bieber who usually rules these types of awards. And he was snubbed across the board. I am glad to see that even though they don't have too high of standards, they are not that desperate anymore. Take a look at the list below:
