I didn't think Victoria Shaw was included. I thought it was just Tony Arata, Pat Alger, Kent Blazy, and Kim Williams. He beat out Boyz II Men, Green Day, TLC, and Hootie and the Blowfish. Before walking on stage, he shook hands with and hugged Boyz II Men and Hootie and the Blowfish. He was presented the award by Neil Diamond.
Music is made up of a lot of people.
And if we're one artist short, then we all become a lesser music. So, without any disrespect to the American Music Awards, and without any disrespect to any fans who voted. For all the people who should be honored with this award, I'm gonna leave it right here. Thank-you very much. He then walked off the stage.
