American Music Awards Los Angeles Facts and Information:
The American Music Awards were founded in 1973 in an effort to develop a competing show with the Grammy Awards. The AMA arose after the Grammy's switched from the ABC network to CBS in Nashville , TN. The Grammy Awards are traditionally based on votes by members of the entertainment industry while the American Music Awards are determined by a poll of actual music buyers. The AMA is a representation of public opinion. The American Music Awards is in direct competition with the Grammy Awards and Billboard Music Awards for ratings and prestige.
Though the Grammy's have generally been considered the standard in music awards, the American Music Awards have garnered as much affirmation for what they stand for as for the variety of hosts to stroll through their doors over the years. Multiple hosts would introduce various categories. Now in later years the American Music Awards have employed the use of just one host. In the first decade of the 2000's, Jimmy Kimmel hosted the American Music Awards for four consecutive years in a row. Then in 2009, for the first time, the AMA's had no host.
The record for most American Music Awards is still held by the late Michael Jackson, who has won twenty-six American Music Awards. The most AMA's for a group have gone to Alabama , who have won twenty-three awards. And the most AMA's for a female artist have gone to Whitney Houston, who has a total of twenty-two AMA's.
