American Music Awards nominations announced

The American Music Awards were announced this week, and Alicia Keys has the most nominations. She received five.

However, I don’ t believe Alicia Keys will be the big winner of the night. While Keys will win at least one trophy, I think Lil Wayne or Chris Brown will steal the show.

The complete nominations list is below. My predictions of who I think will win is in bold.

The show will air Nov. 23 on ABC.
