David Cook to perform on American Music Awards pre-show; more acts confirmed

Filed under: Television and tagged: , , ,

For the first time in its 36-year history, the American Music Awards (airing Nov. 23 on ABC) will televise an hour-long preshow that includes a live, two-song performance by American Idol winner David Cook along with extensive red-carpet interviews delivered by a motley crew, among them Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger (who’ll serve as music correspondent), Project Runway’s Christian Siriano (handling fashion coverage), Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, and The Bachelor host Chris Harrison.

From arrivals to the stage, divas will rule the ceremony, which is being held at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater (where, coincidentally, Cook delivered his winning Idol performance) and not the Shrine Auditorium, as in years past. On the bill are megastars like Mariah Carey, Beyoncé Knowles, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, and Pink. But one big-name female artist with a new album to promote is noticeably absent from the lineup: Britney Spears will instead give a birthday performance on ABC’s Good Morning America Dec. 2, the day her album Circus is released. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus will celebrate her sweet 16 on stage at the AMAs.

    Well, now I have a reason to watch the pre-show.

    Didn’t know how much I missed David Cook until I realized how excited I was to hear about this. YES, PLEASE!!!

  • Susie

    Honestly, for how long can Miley Cyrus stretch out the duration of her 16th birthday? It seems like she’s been celebrating it for months now.

    Fantastic. David Cook on the AMAs even if only on the red carpet. Anytime I can hear this guys sing, I am happy.

  • Ciara

    Maybe next year David will be nominated for an AMA, but for now it’s great that he will be performing. 5 days til his album comes out!!! Love me some COOK!

    Coming from a news anchor myself… I have to say I was so unimpressed with the hosts tonight, except for Chris Harrison. I can not believe network television hires people who have no clue how live television works to host the pre-show. It was one jumbled mess and Chris was cleaning up the mess! Nicole wouldn’t stop talking about herself rather then conduct the interview and focus it on who she is interviewing, and carrie anne, acted like she was on crack! She need her cue cards to ask the most pointless questions! I am so upset that network television has so many talented tv stars and they pick these idiots to run the show! Chris you did great! hang in there buddy!
