Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift win big at AMA’s while Adam Lambert and JLo steal the show

Michael Jackson won four American Music Awards on Sunday night, amazing since the nominations were  from a Greatest Hits album that’s over six years old,  but most the talk this morning seems to be around Adam Lanbert’s risque performance.  Jackson was named favorite male artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. His 2003 greatest-hits album, “Number Ones,” also won favorite album in both categories. Jackson’s trophies were accepted by his brother Jermaine, who paid tribute to his late brother by wearing a glittery white glove.  Taylor Swift was the big winner (again) as the year’s favorite artist and the evening’s top winner.  The 19-year-old took the evening’s top award, giving Jackson his only loss of the night, and five trophies in all.
The performance-filled show closed with a sexed-up S&M-themed,performance by Adam Lambert, to promote his new album, which included him shoving a male dancer’s face in his crotch.  Jennifer Lopez’s visual spectacular dressed as a boxing champ, was cool, though I didn’t dig the song that much.  She did manage to knock herself onto her butt (the 3 minute mark) while jumping off of a dancer’s back, but didn’t miss a dance or musical beat (she was lip syncing).
