There were some good moments in the AMA's tonight. Music has clearly passed me by, but I took to some of the Post Malone stuff...liked his take on things. I like that Camila...she has a hot pepper thing that fires me up. Most of the others...meh.
My point here is the tribute to Aretha. So many of these things try to pull big names to sing songs that everyone knows. This one was DIFFERENT. So good. They adhered to what Aretha would have considered her roots and played a full on gospel set. Gladys showed that she can still clearly throw it to start, and it was a litany of roots church extravaganza after that.
It was a rare, brave moment from an awards show that takes care to not take chances. It was refreshing, uplifting, and a true tribute to not what Aretha made her money on, but who she WAS.
Kudos.
