The AMA's are based on recored sales, and considering Michael Jackson has sold millions of albums since his death, he is qualified for all of the categories he has been nominated in.

He hasn't released anything in years, just because he died he gets all these nominations? This is ridiculous...

He was and is a legend he only deserves a Lifetime Achievement Award. He released a remade demo, and rehearsal footage no one has yet seen. This is a stunt for sympathy and ratings. This hurts those who did something this year
