Carrie Underwood arriving at the The 37th Annual American Music Awards at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles November 22, 2009
The American Music Awards show is one of four annual major American music awards shows. The AMAs were created by Dick Clark in 1973 to compete with the Grammys after the move of that year's show to Nashville, Tennessee led to CBS picking up the Grammy telecasts after its first two in 1971 and 1972 were broadcast on ABC
