The American Music Awards haven't aired since 2022, and will be relaunching nexy year on CBS -- which decided to whet our appetites with a big two-hour 50th birthday bash that covered a lot of pop music of yore. Admittedly I did not watch this, because Sunday was a big sports night, and ultimately one full of crushing disappointment!!!!! It was not a HUGE bash -- lots of clips packages and then a couple live performances -- and seemed aimed squarely at the CBS *Matlock* demographic. But we did get Jennifer Hudson performing a Whitney Houston tribute; she posted pictures [of Whitney's ensemble from the 1994 American Music Awards](https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/best-american-music-awards-performances-no-7-whitney-houston-8030123/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and while this is not a duplicate, it does seem appropriately inspired by it. I'm not sure it will get any of The Youths all that excited for the upcoming AMAs, but as a nostalgia play -- and/or a place for people to hide if they didn't want to watch the Dodgers get clobbered or the Steelers lose -- it probably did just fine.
