Her Album As I Am garnered singer Alicia Keys a total of five nominations for this year's American Music Awards. The swollen vocal chords that afflicted the star of The Secret Life of Bees during her tour for the album obviously didn't adversely affect her chances at winning.
Not far behind, Coldplay nabbed four nominations for their return to radioplay with their album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. The top honor of 2008 Artist of the year nomination went to chart toppers Chris Brown, Lil' Wayne, Alicia Keys, Coldplay and the Eagles.
Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting the event. Producer of the AMAs Larry Klein said, "The show is a true reflection of popular culture and what is current to consumers of live and recorded music." You don't say.
