So the American Music Awards were on last night and since I'm a music lover I decided to watch. I should have went to bed instead....it was the worst spectacle I've seen in a long time! The clothes were bad, the music was bad (half the stuff I couldn't understand)...all in all the show itself was just a disappointment! The worst part to me was the way the women chose to portray themselves, I mean let's face it, young kids watch this (or at least thats the age group they are shooting for) and all they saw last night was trash! The worst to me was Jennifer Lopez (pic below). She performed (lip-synced probably) last night an outfit that was best left in a strip club! I mean, if I wanted to watch a 40-something year old woman strip, then grind her ass in the crotch of some rapper I would just go to...well I guess I wouldn't have to go anywhere, I just have to turn on my TV! Seriously NO CLASS AT ALL! Like I said the worst part to me is the young girls that watched this and thought ''thats what I have to look like/act like to be sexy''! In all the articles I've read online this morning about her performance I've seen the words ''riveting'', ''hot'', ''spectacular'', and ''full of energy'', but no where have I read the words ''trashy'', ''class-less'', or ''inappropriate''!!! Young girls need positive role models, not ones that dress up half nude or like drag queens **clears throat**(Christina Aguilera)! I personally do not care for Taylor Swift's music (not all of it anyways), but at least she has the good sense to not sell her body image over her music!! I know that I'm getting older (holding strong at 29!! lol), and have small kids, but I also know I'm not alone in my feelings! All I can hope for is I can do the best job in raising my babies to believe that each individual is unique and beautiful for who they are, not what they look like or wear...because obviously the music/movie/magazine/TV/media in general is not going to change any time soon!! **clears throat** Jersey Shore..enough said!!
