2025 AMAs: A Social Media Roast and What It Means for Award Shows

The 2025 American Music Awards: A Flop or a Missed Opportunity? The American Music Awards (AMAs) took place recently, and social media is buzzing with opinions, many of them negative. One TikTok video by saronthings has gone viral, criticizing the show's length, the lack of notable awards presented, and the sparse attendance of major celebrities. "The #AMAs this year was probably the biggest waste of 3 hours," saronthings stated in their video. The author highlighted JLo's hosting and Sizla's performance as the only positive aspects of the show. The video uses clips from the awards show to illustrate the author's points. This negative sentiment reflects a broader conversation about the relevance and appeal of major award shows in the current entertainment landscape. The AMAs organizers may need to consider changes to improve future events and regain audience interest.
