Mariah
Carey Up For More
Awards
Mariah
Carey
is one of four acts up
for three prizes at this
year's American Music
Awards.
The
Black Eyed Peas, the Red
Hot Chili Peppers and
Nickelback will also be
in contention at the
annual event, to be held
in Los Angeles on 21
November
2006.
Mariah
Carey led the field at
last year's ceremony
with four nominations -
but took home just one
award on the
night.
Rapper
Eminem,
actor-singer Jamie Foxx,
pop group Pussycat Dolls
and soul star Mary J
Blige are also up for
awards.
Billed
as a more populist
version of the Grammys,
the American Music
Awards (AMAs) are
decided by a poll of
20,000 music
fans.
Mariah
Carey, who was named
favourite soul/R&B
female artist in 2005,
is up for the same award
again this
year.
She
is also shortlisted for
favourite pop/rock
female artist and
favourite pop/rock
album.
The
Red Hot Chili Peppers
won two awards last year
but were one of several
acts not to attend the
event.
Held
at LA's Shrine
Auditorium, the show
featured performances
from Gwen Stefani and
The
Eurythmics.
