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).

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.

Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift win American Music Awards
Country star Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson each won four prizes at the midway point of the American Music Awards on Sunday, while Jennifer Lopez fell on her rear end during her performance. Swift and Jackson lead the contenders at the 37th annual ceremony, with six and five nominations, respectively, and will vie for the event's final honor, artist of the year. Swift, 19, accepted her awards live via satellite from backstage at London's Wembley Arena, where she will perform a concert on Monday. She was named favorite female artist in the pop/rock and country categories, and favorite adult-contemporary artist -- tributes to her wide crossover appeal. Her 2008 album "Fearless," the best-selling release in the United States this year, was named favorite country album. Jackson was named favorite male artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. His brother Jermaine accepted on his behalf, thanking Allah "for blessing my entire family." The singer, who died of an overdose in June, also won two awards that were announced off the air. His hits collection "Number Ones" was named favorite album in the soul/R&B and pop/rock categories, beating out Swift in the latter. The other contenders for artist of the year are glam pop star Lady Gaga, rapper Eminem and rock band Kings of Leon.
Hip-hop act the Black Eyed Peas won two awards, as favorite group in both the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. Punk rock trio Green Day was named favorite alternative artist. Rascal Flatts won favorite country group for the fourth year in a row.
