(CBS)  Nominees are shown for each category; winners are shown in bold.

According to the show's producers, initial nominees were selected by using ballots containing names compiled from data supplied by the music industry trade publication, Radio & Records and Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks retail music sales. Those ballots were then sent to a sampling of 15,000 people and the top three finalists for each category became nominees.

For the first time in American Music Award history, winners were chosen by the public via online votes.

    omshady........
    I agree with you. I also think the only reason Beyonce wins any awards is because of her looks and not because of her voice or creativity. Let''s face it...We have a whole lot of artist that can get up on the stage "SHOW SKIN" an "SHAKE THAT THING". There is really not anything special about Beyonce.Way to go Underwood and Daughtry!!

    So happy for the american idol stars....
    A bit fed-up with Beyonce, who is so talented but somehow it feels she''s being pushed down our throats.. Can''t forget she only started being noticed when she so blatantly began to imitate Shakira... anyways, congrats again to Daughtry and Underwood..
