American Music Awards Nominations

Yesterday, Miss Christina Aguilera presented this year's nominees for the American Music Awards. 

Some notable kii's from this year's nominations list:

• Nicki Minaj getting double nominated for Pop and Rap categories for "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded"
• Rihanna's "Talk That Talk" and Chris Brown's "Fortune" nominated in the "Favorite Soul/R&B Album" category. If those albums are considered soul then the Devil sure had a grip on that category.
