It will air tonight at 8pm Easterrn, 7pm Central, or check your local listings if you are stuck in some other time zone. This will be his seventh appearance on the American Music Awards. That’s pretty snazzy. Make sure you set your recording devices to capture this event on your recording media of choice.

    Eek! Eek! Anyway, I’ll be watching, and quite possibly taping this event! I hope the list at the AMA’s website is the order of awards given. If so, Favorite Country Male Artist is 5th down the list. At any rate, can’t wait to see Al. Oh, and go, Keith Urban! :)

    That was kinda stupid, becuase I told myself to leave immeadiately after Al came on…but he was one of the last presenters, so I sat through 3 1/2 hours {in a blistering hot attic] just to see him.

    Still Funny Though!!!! And coming out with Chamillionaire…..VERY IMPRESSIVE!

    Yeah, I did the same thing. And then woke up at 5:45 the next morning. But I agree that Al was very funny with Chamillionaire.

    LOS ANGELES (AP) - Weird Al Yankovic came “Straight Outta Lynwood” to the American Music Awards, mingling with some of the artists he’s parodied, including “American Idol” Taylor Hicks and rapper Chamillionaire.

    “I get to rub elbows with a lot of people I’ve been mocking for years,” Yankovic said on the Shrine Auditorium’s red carpet, wearing a blue and white jacket declaring the name of his new album, “Straight Outta Lynwood,” the Los Angeles-area community where he grew up.

    Yankovic did a parody of Hicks on the song “Do I Creep You Out?” but he said Hicks was a good sport.

    Hicks, standing a few feet away, agreed.

    “It’s cool,” said the tan and tall singer. “What’s there to be mad at?”

    Yes, Al was supposed to present that award, joshua, but the show was running long, so they scrapped that. Instead, he and Chamillionaire talked about teh accounting firm that tabulates the votes. I loved it when Al said “Way to represent for your firm!” Chamillionaire couldn’t keep a straight face. Even though they didn’t get to present the award, they made the best of it, and it was entertaining.
