Incorrect spelling, explanation: considering the morphology of this word, we cannot say that amaizing is correct because in this form there is the additional vowel i that is not needed. The word is formed from the verb amaze and the suffix ing. But this is a common mistake because of the pronunciation of this word where appears the diphthong sound as a combination of two vowels a and i and it is pronounced in this way /eɪ/. It does not mean that the letter i is spelled. It is not, and therefore, amaizing is incorrect.
Correct spelling, explanation: the present participle adjective amazing originated in Old English as amasian. The word is derived from the verb amaze, meaning astonish, to feel with wonder, and in this word the only vowel a occurs. It means that the form amazing is correct and amaizing not.
