Mysteries of 'Jennifer Lopez Falls' & 'Adam Lambert AMA' Solved

By Sam Brand Posted Nov 23rd 2009 12:02PM

Wondering why "Jennifer Lopez Falls at AMAs," "Adam Lambert AMA Performance," "Lady Gaga at the AMAs" and "AMA Winners" are surging in Google Trends? We can shed some light on the mystery. Google Trends provides the hottest keywords of the hour, and though the results change frequently, at any moment the list offers a snapshot of what's hot in the world of entertainment news. Today it's all American Music Awards, all the time. In a special AMA edition of What's Hot, check out what you're searching for today...

Adam Lambert AMA Performance – Adam Lambert (or rather the record execs who conceived him) knows what it takes to hit the top of Google Trends. The pop star's existence screams for attention, and deserves it. Last night at the AMAs, the 'American Idol' runner-up simulated oral sex, made out with an androgynous keyboard player, fake fondled a dancer's privates, and stumbled (and recovered) during a rousing performance of "For Your Entertainment." You've gotta see the video to believe it.

Whitney Houston AMA Performance – Whitney Houston has 21 American Music Awards sitting on her shelves at home. OK, maybe she pawned a few of them off during those dark days in the early aughts that we've all heard so much about. Last night, the 46-year-old took the stage to perform the mid-tempo "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" off her new-ish album 'I Look to You.' The performance isn't exactly getting rave reviews, many critics bemoaning the loss of Whitney's trademark highs. But the legend is back, at least in some form, and music lovers are thankful. Houston took home the International Artist Award for hercontributions to the world of sound.

Jennifer Lopez Falls at AMAs – It happens to everyone. Regular people slip on ice or trip over cracks in the sidewalk. You know you've made it when your fall happens while jumping off a semi-naked human staircase. That's what happened to J.Lo while performing her new single "Louboutins" at the American Music Awards last night. But she popped right back up like nothing happened. "That shows she's a true entertainer," will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas told Usmagazine.com. "It doesn't matter how you fall – just how you get up. She got up."

Lady Gaga AMA 2009 – Lady Gaga knows how to put on a performance. Never mind that she probably lip syncs every time she steps onstage. Forget that she'd be just a very ordinary singer without her shocking costumes. Take her for what she is: a performer. And a very good one at that. Witness her AMA performance of "Speechless." The girl belongs onstage.

Janet Jackson 2009 AMA Performance – Janet took to the limelight for a 7-minute montage of hits that spanned the decades and was dedicated to her recently departed brother. From 1986's "What Have You Done for Me Lately," to 1993's "If," to 2009's "Make Me," Janet blasted the audience with her trademark energy and attitude. She closed the act with an upbeat version of "Together Again," a song written in the mid-90s for AIDS victims. The song was clearly directed towards someone else last night. "Always been a true angel to me," she sang. "Now above, I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby."

American Music Awards Winners – 2009 is really shaping up to be the year of Taylor Swift. The 19-year-old country queen (yes, she's officially graduated from "princess") took home awards for Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Artist (Pop/Rock), Favorite Female Artist (Country), Favorite Artist (Adult Contemporary), and Favorite Album (Country). Other notable winners include Michael Jackson, who posthumously won four awards including Favorite Male Artist (Pop/Rock and Soul/R&B), Jay-Z, who won Favorite Male Artist (Rap/Hip-Hop), and Green Day, who won Favorite Artist (Alternative Rock).

Kids are not suppose to be up at that hour, send them to bed. My television viewing should not be influenced because you want your kids view programs designed for adults. Nine O'clock is the hour, after that children should be in bed. Now to the real issue, you don't like Adam Lambert and it's probably because he is gay.

By KIM

My kids were in bed.

By shells

I agree it was disgusting, and hello some kids are off from school and can be up at that hour!! That should not be on television, shame on you ABC for airing that filth.

By TERESA

I TOTALLY AGREE. HIS PERFORMANCE WAS REPULSIVE, DISGUSTING AND INAPPROPRIATE. I DIDN'T SUPPORT HIM DURING AMERICAN IDOL, AND CERTAINLY WOULDN'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING THAT KIND OF GARBAGE ON HIS CD.

You are so so right!!!

By nick

are you kidding me abotu lady gaga?!?!?!?! she NEVER lip syncs. and she is nothing but ordinary. even without the costumes she would be an AMAZING SINGER, PIANIST, AND SONGWRITER! she is one of the most talented musicians around right now. and she stole the show last night.

By Cindy

Nick i'm glad you pointed this out. The author of this article is very ignorant of the topic he is writing about. Lady Gaga has stated many times that she does not condone lip-synching and she does not do it.

By shannon

nick, You MUST be a kid

By Krissy

That is exactly what I was thinking! Who wrote this piece? Everyone who actually has seen a Lady Gaga performance knows she doesn't lipsync. As if she could be tied down to a prerecorded track! She sings live 100% of the time!

By Dar

I agree!!Gaga has such a unique voice!

By deancramer

For the vast majority of the time, Lady Gaga doesn't fake it. Who wrote that review? Also, Lambert sounded like a cabaret singer with a terrible vibrato trying to rock out...he FAILED!
He's more schtick then class, that's for sure.

By mikey

FIRST OF ALL THERE SHOULD NT BE DEGRADED GARBAGE ON T.V. FOR ADULTS OR CHILDREN. TO SUGGEST THAT WE SEND KIDS TO BED BECAUSE ADULTS WANT TO ACT DEBAUCHED IS INSANE. HOW ABOUT IF ADULTS GROW UP AND STOP WATCHING TENNY BOPPER SHOWS LIKE THIS ONE WITH ZERO TALENT AND ALL PRE RECORDED? IM GLAD SHE FELL,,AT LEAST AT THAT POINT SHE WAS PROVIDING ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER CAREER!..

By kim

Apparently you havent followed her career.......

By Bonbon

Glad I missed it, no desire to see Adam suck face with another guy....and did not want to see Gaga's butt crack!

By carongirls

I have never heard Adam sing before so I was looking forward to it. Wow what a disapointment. His singing is awful. His whole act was so fake and staged.
Gaga was tame last night. I still like her.
Jay Z he can't sing either.

It was not plesent to watch... I was saying out loud "I can not believe this crap." People pay good money for this!! Weird! Myself,I love Chris Daughtry! He is a good man with awesome talent and good heart. He lives in NC near where I live. And the Adam thing... it doesn't have anything to do with gay ...that song was just uncalled for.. I am an adult. I love Music not trash!!!

By Christine Roy

No wins for the Kings of Leon? What the heck? They are an amazing, talented band. Seriously, they should have at least won one.
