It has recently been announced that Beyonce will be performing at the 2008 American Music Awards. This marks the third time that the singer will be performing on the AMAs. Beyonce is the latest addition to the already stellar list of previously announced performers which include Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Mariah Carey, Coldplay, New Kids on the Block, Pussycat Dolls, Pink, The Fray and Annie Lennox. Annie will also receive the special Award of Merit. I wonder what type of tribute they will be making for her. The AMAs will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and broadcast live from the NOKIA Theatre in LA live on Sunday, November 23 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

The Jonas Brothers took to the stage at the 2007 American Music Awards where Joe took a spill right at the top of their performance. Joe put up a blog about it recently and talked about what went on through the whole thing.

He said that after he fell, he saw the smiling faces of the fans and knew that he had to get up and go on with the show. Joe had so much fun performing that he didn’t even notice that he was bleeding until someone backstage pointed it out to him. And it seems that he got cut not only on his hands but on his leg too.

Does he feel no pain or what?

If you’re still in doubt, the 2007 American Music Awards held on Sunday should be all the proof you need that 2007 is the year of Rihanna. Not only did she rock the red carpet, she also rocked her performance and took some awards home while she’s at it.

Rihanna did a medley of two of her hits ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Hate That I Love You’. She performed a classical rendition of ‘Umbrella’ complete with the whole string section. Then, Ne-Yo came out to perform their duet. Later on in the night, the Barbados hottie picked up Favorite Female soul/R&B Artist beating out Beyonce and Fantasia.

Rihanna was spotted leaving Café Med in Los Angeles on Sunday. The hot Barbados-born singer is rumored to performed her latest single, which features Ne-yo, ‘Hate That I Love You’ at the 2007 American Music Awards.

Other rumored performers include Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Daughtry, Celine Dion, Duran Duran, Fergie, Will.I.Am, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5 and Rascal Flatts. It’s going to be a packed night if all of them perform. There’s something for every type of music fan out there.

The AMAs will air on Novemeber 18th from the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.
