Kelly Clarkson will be returning to host for a third consecutive year on April 29! They’ve also just announced the recipient of the Icon Award will be Garth Brooks. So I mean, trash. I couldn’t find a thread so I mean, merge or delete it necessary.
Will literally only be interested in seeing Kelly Clarkson sing everyone else's songs better than they do for the opening bit of the awards show.
They have Garth Brooks following up Celine, Cher, Janet, and Mariah as the Icon recipient? I'm gonna need performances from Gaga, Dua, and Meg. And a Tusa performance from Karol G and Nicki. Keep Camilla the fuck away, please.
Here’s a list of performers. It’s next week, October 14th. Alicia Keys - TBA Bad Bunny - TBA BTS - “Dynamite" Demi Lovato - TBA Doja Cat - Medley En Vogue - "Free Your Mind" Garth Brooks - Icon Award Medley Kane Brown - TBA Swae Lee - TBA Khalid - “Be Like That" Luke Combs - TBA Post Malone - TBA Saint Jhn - TBA (Xfinity exclusive) Sia - “Roses"
This performance line up is a bit weird . I would say BTS and Doja aside none of the rest has have been billboard dominate or present much this year ?
I mean Bad Bunny's YHLQMDLG was kind of a moment, and Post Malone had Circles comfortably in the top 10 for the first half of this year so I wouldn't say they weren't chart present this year. But yeah, underwhelming lineup.
I was going include Bad Bunny actually but I wasn’t sure how successful he had been as I don’t really listen to him .
What a limp and lifeless lineup! Kelly will have to do a lot of the heavy lifting to make this an interesting show.
Why weren't they able to get The Weeknd and Cardi? And I hope BTS serves more production here than that Zoom background VMA performance they pulled.
