While I love JLo's energy, I wish they would rotate hosts more often. There are so many talented performers who could bring fresh perspectives to the AMAs.

Smart choice by the AMAs. JLo knows how to keep the show moving while still being entertaining. Remember when she did that medley in 2015? Legendary.

I'll be watching just for her opening number! She always goes all out with the production value. Vegas is the perfect backdrop too.
