Awards
Jacko and Swift win big at AMAs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 23 November 2009
Michael Jackson won four gongs at last night’s American Music Awards, having been shortlisted for five. The late king of pop took the Best Male and Best Album awards in both the Pop/Rock and Soul/R&B sections of the public-voted awards event, proving there is one albeit nominal bright side to a tragically premature death. Jermaine Jackson picked up his brother’s awards.
Performance-wise, Lady Gaga probably stole the show, while it was another rather good night for Taylor Swift who also picked up four awards, including Artist Of The Year, and without one stage invasion from Kanye West, despite Beyonce only picking up one gong.
