Michael Jackson Wins Four American Music Awards

At last night's American Music Awards Michael Jackson won favorite male artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories, while his 2003 hits collection "Number Ones" was named favorite album in both those same two categories! Michael's brother Jermaine, accepted two of the the four televised awards saying, "The message that Michael had will live on forever. He saw good in everyone and he wanted everyone to do good. He always started with love."

YEAH AMAZING he deserved it, big time :·) He is and always will be the KING OF POP and remember MICHAEL we LOVE you more...

Congratulations, Michael. Miss you tons.

I must say that I was very upset about the awards show last night because I thought that Michael only won two awards. I found out today that he actually won four, two were not televised (WHY NOT?). The thing that I am most upset about is that Taylor Swift won Artist of the Year. While I have nothing against the girl, I don't think that she should have won.

Michael has more than earned that title and more. How many artists do you know of who could get nominated in a current year for 5 catagories for an album of greatest hits released way back in 2003? I doubt very seriously that Taylor will be releasing a greatest hits album any time soon, especially in 25 years. For some reason, she seems to be the golden girl this year for all the award shows. This leads me to believe that some of this stuff is fixed according to who they want to wear the crown. I know that the fans voted for her, but how can she beat both MJ and Beyonce? The girl can't even dance!!

I don't want to be all down on Taylor. She is a nice girl. I am happy that he won 4 of the nominations. I guess that I get too sensitive about him because I love him with all my heart.

Rest on, my sweet baby love!!!

MICHAEL CONGRATULAZIONI I'M HAPPY FOR YOU TU PER ME SEI E RIMANI IL MIGLIOR ARTISTA DEL MONDO I LOVE YOU Smiling YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART Smiling

The most important of all, my and our dear Michael, is that you have won our hearts, our minds, our thoughts and our lives. And you have won our love for ever, even before the day you were born. An award could mean so much for an artist, but it means more that you know we love you and we adore you, no matter what. Noone could ever reach you, Michael. You were, you are and you will always be the king, my king, our king, the only one. I'll never get tired of saying: I love you, love you, love you. I love you more than anything, cause you are everything, everything good to me. I'll never let you apart, my king, my love...

MJ truly deserved these awards. He should have gotten Entertainer of The Year as well. I think it is the year of the Swift girl, not saying it was rigged, but she won all those CMA awards as well. She should not have even been in competiton with MJ. When it comes to Michael there is no competition, imagine if any of those other clowns would have beat him. I too was disappointed that they didn't televise all four awards, what were they thinking? There will never be another MJ. He was sent to us for a reason. He wasn't just an entertainer, he was a genius, sent to a place that did not appreciate & was not ready to understand him. I am trying to make a difference in the world just by doing little things, like thinking before I am too critical of someone or something. I am sure that MJ is seeing and knowing all the love that is being poured out to him. I too think I will meet him in the hereafter. I wish I would have known him personally. It's all about L. O. V. E. LOVE. Love you more, Michael.

FELICITACIONES amado Michael. Esto es otra muestra para el mundo, de tu grandeza. Eres y serás por siempre THE KING, el mejor, el más grande, el más colosal artista, el único realmente completo, perfecto, el único realmente mágico y electrizante.
Tu talento no ha tenido, no tiene y no tendrá nunca comparación. Eres único, irrepetible, inimitable e inigualable.
El mundo te ama Michael!!!!!!!!!!
El mundo te necesita!
¡GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL!
¡ETERNAL LIVE TO THE KING IN OUR HEARTS!
MICHAEL JACKSON... THE KING OF POP FOR EVER

Michael is deserved to get artist of the year. Anyway, I am much happier to Micheal's win in other four categories.
A message to all fans of Micheal. He is also listed in "Which multiple winner from Last night's American Music Awards is your favourite?" in peoples choice buzz poll in this week. OK, lets start do voting for Micheal.

i am SO happy for MICHAEL!!! I jumped outta my seat and cheered for him and clapped so loudly for jermaine. Taylor should DEFINITLEY not have got artist of the year, but i appreciate wat she said for michael. Janet's performance was wonderful! LOVE YOU MJ!

i saw somebody's comment here on this news article about oprah and her interview with lisa marie back maybe in 2005 or 2006. as curious as i was i checked it out on youtube. true to what the fan had said, i didn't like the way the interview went. lisa marie admitted that she loved michael and she believed that michael loved her as much as he could love somebody but then when it gotten to the point where oprah asked her certain questions pertaining to the reasons why she had married him and how their marraige was, they laughed first before proceeding to discussing the issue as if they were laughing at the fact
of being involved with michael. as a fan, I DIDN'T LIKE IT, the way they dealt with the issues regarding michael, as if he was the strangest person in the world. i also saw oprah's interview with michael in 1992 and clearly she appeared to be pleased of interviewing him and even told him that she really liked him when he gave in to perform some dance steps and acapella of one of his songs for her. it just disappoints me how these two people reacted to him a few years later. when he died, lisa posted a blog that straightened things out regarding her relatioship with michael and how she feels about him now that he is gone. i think what she did is GREAT, at least the public knows the truth about them and it also made me LIKE her again. i just thought that oprah could have done better when she did a tribute for michael when he passed away. she could have mentioned her interview with lisa and maybe apologize for the way she reacted to him or the issues concerning michael back then.
having said all of these things, i don't want to upset anybody nor damage anybody's reputation, i am just expressing my opinion.

Michael Jackson worked so hard all of his life.
Gone to soon our beautiful songbird.
Their are not enough words in the world to express the loss & hard work Michael Jackson did.
He will be greatly missed.

OMG!!!!!!! That is so good, and it makes me happy to see that Michael wasnt just making music and changing peoples lives forever for nothing. i wish that he was here to see all of the awards that he has and i hope that he is in Heaven with GOD and the Angels, along with the Heavenly Souls watching down and seeing his achievements have done well.

R.I.P KING OF POP

To all of Michael Jackson's fan

If you love Michael's music, you have to listen to the song titled For All Time. This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It was an unreleased track from the original Thriller sessions. You will find this song in the Thriller 25th Aniversary Edition. What were they thinking when they left out this song? You got to listen to FOR ALL TIME.

A Michael's fan.

Yes! I am happy for it! But sad also because they did not give to him the most important prize and the fact that more it was deserved from my humble point of view!

I'm so happy for Michael Smiling
I have nothing against Taylor Swift, but seriously? She beat Michael for Artist of the Year? It's obvious that only little girls voted, and Michael is not on the Disney Channel. But judging from her speech, she was shocked too.
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL

Congratulations on the wins for MJ. Michael you deserved all of them and more and what a blessing it would have been to have received while you were still with us!!!! Michael we love and miss you more as each day passes and will never ever forget you and to always remember the LOVE!!!!

I can't believe Taylor Swift won over MJ for artist of the year. I don't understand why she is the golden child this year!!

1) i didnt like jermaine's acceptance speech because it was like he was accepting it for himself
2) woo for taylor... but i couldnt believe she beat michael!! those little girls must have been voting like crazy
3) i felt bad for taylor cause when she was accepting she must have been thinking "crap, michael jackson was a nominee for this award and now i have to accept it"
4) im so proud of michael. he even broke a record, he just keeps breaking them =) congrats michael! we love!!! R.I.P.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU MJ... YOU DESERVE EVEN MORE... GOD BLESS YOU MY SWEET HEART... I JUST CAN IMAGINE THAT U'RE SMILING IN HEAVEN... I LOVE YOU ♥... YOU ARE MY HERO!

We love you more Michael..

We Love you Michael!!! You deserved every single award you won last night!!
Your music & legancy will live forever!! RIP!!

Yes,Yes,Yes....way to go MJ. Congratulations !!!

This is only the begining of another chapter,If the reports that he had lots of music in his vault are true,and I bet they are,MJ is still going to keep winning everytime his music is released.

I am so happy,he,he,oooh!

To celebrate this win (s) I am currently playing "The ETERNAL LIGHT"

"let it shine so bright,the eternal light
let it burn forever and ever,
let love bring us together
let it shine so bright,the eternal light
let us join our hands together
make a chain that binds forever"

Miss and L.O.V.E him so much...to me he is THE ETERNAL LIGHT.

Michael,
I wish you were here to see how much we love you.
The media tried to change our love for you but that will never happen...never!
Congrats sweetheart for winning 4 more awards.
We love you most!!!!!

MJ is forever number one everywhere and everytime.BUT at first ,ALWAYS he is number one in our hearts.I LOVE YOU FOREVER MORE....MüJgan from TÜRKİYE....

I wasnt quite happy when i heard that Taylor Swift had won the Artist of the Year award. I dont have anything against her, but that award should have gone to Mike. Anyways i am very happy that Mike received 4 awards and even thought that last award was not given to him, we know he is the artist of the year, and all time!

Congratulations Michael!!! We Love You MORE!!

So so so proud of Michael's continued achievements. Glad to see his Number Ones was finally recognize since it was overlooked in 2003 thanks to TS.

On Jermaine: has he been self annointed, I mean appointed, as the one we have to endure, I mean see, acceptimg any future awards on behalf of Michael? Why did Jermaine bring HIS children up there for MICHAEL's award?

I would much rather see Katherine (not Joe), Janet or Michael's children accepting any future awards and no more Jermaine. I think somewhere in Jermaine's head, the awards he accepts are for himself.

Or is it just me?

I'm happy that he won the 4 awards he so rightly deserved. But I'm shocked that he didn't win artist of the year! I believe it was fixed and was a marketing scheme so that Taylor's sales will increase.

There's no way she can ever have more fans than Michael, even the smallest kids know and love Michael Jackson! I'm happy she won in the other categories but there's no way possible she could've won over Michael Jackson. I wonder how many votes she won by?

Like the other's said- his fans know he was and will always be the BEST ARTIST That EVER LIVED! and his music and legacy will live on in our hearts and for many years to come.

First and foremost, I would like to say Congratulations to Michael Jackson on getting 4 awards last night. You are the best!!! R.I.P. =)

He set a record for # of AMA's won by a single artist-23!!! No one will ever come to him, period. I was bummed out that he didn't get the Artist of the year award, but hey, we all know that he is the best. It appears that they decided to give that to Tyler, whatever her name is. Nothing against her (I do not know her music and to me, music=Michael Jackson), but having her and Michael in the same category was a joke to me even though she is widely popular this year. I love you Michael now and forever.

Congratulations to Michael Jackson, the King of Entertainment. When he won his awards (the one which was televised), most of my family was clapping and going crazy. The other 2 awards that he won should have been televised. We, the fans, did our job, voted.

I am not going to be upset for Taylor Swift winning the Artist of the Year. It was no surprise. When Michael new music be released, he will win the Artist of the Year.

In addition, I am so glad he had won the most AMA.

I know MJ was smiling down from Heaven yesterday at each and every fan.

"CONGRATS" MJ!!!!!! I am so happy that you won the 4 awards, although, what in the world happened with Artist Of The Year??? I like Taylor Swift, but come on...........I think everyone including herself knows who deserved that award, but in all of our hearts, he is the true winner!!!!!!!! You may have LOVED us "MORE", but we L.O.V.E you the "MOST"!!!!!!! You will remain in my heart forever.......I know you are looking down on us from Heaven with that big grin!!!!!! Miss you much ; )

I AM SO HAPPY THAT MICHAEL WON. I ALSO THINK THAT SOMEONE BROUHT THAT AWARD FOR TAYLOR. BUT GUESS WE HAVE TO MOVE ON AND BE HAPPY THAT MICHAEL DID WIN FOUR. I MISS HIM SO MUCH. I PLAY HIS MUSIC EVERYDAY. DID ANYONE HERE JERMINE SAY, THANK YOU MICHAEL FANS OR THANK YOU FOR LOVING MY BROTHER. BEFORE MICHAEL LEAVE OFF THE STAGE, HE WOULD HAVE SAID, AND TO MY FANS THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU. HE ALWAY SAID THAT. I WILL NEVER PUT MICHAEL ON KNOW SHELF AND FORGET ABOUT HIM. MICHAEL I NEVER STOP LOVING YOUR MUSIC. REST IN PEACE. BOO-BOO GAYNELLE MCMILLAN FROM PHILADELPHIA PA. GOD PLEASE KEEP MICHAEL BY YOUR SIDE ALWAYS THANK YOU MICHAEL FOR EVERYTHING.

I guess voting online 12 dozen times helped in helping Michael win in those 4 catagories. I was disapointed that Michael didn't win artist of the year. Sad I would have been more disapointed if someone other than Taylor Swift had won. Oh well. I didn't waste my time in helping Michael win his 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th AMA award. I love you, Michael.

Since 13th November 2009 the magazine „ok“ is looking for the wildest werewolf of Hollywood. Up today the total amount of votes are 27,262. Surely Michael Jackson’s Thriller werewolf is top one with 57 % - so still try:

I don’t know the end of this poll! I like all these terrific comments there!!!

Michael I hope you are smiling in heaven. You won 4 awards.

I am so happy for you.

You are missed a lot.

I am happy that Michael won the four awards, my family and I voted for it, always be in our hearts because we believe there will be no other like him, was a person of good heart, besides being a complete artist

OMG, did he REALLY!?!?!? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(music plays)
Happy happy happy, me is happy,
happy happy happy, Michael won four awards, HEY!
Smiling:)Smiling:)Smiling

I watched the show last night but I didn't get to see all of it cuz I had to go to bed, but I recorded it. I saw it when he won that Best Male Vocalist R/B thing and I SCREAMED. You could hear me all throughout the house! My mom was all, "CORRIE, STOP YELLING! YOU'LL WAKE YOUR SISTER!" and I was all "THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR ME!!!"

I'm sad that Michael didn't win Artist of the Year, though. That was the award I was looking most forward to. Who did win it?

Oh, well, at least he won four categories! Ha! In your FACE, other nominees!

(music resumes play)
Happy happy happy, me is happy...
Smiling

I was pleased that MJ won the 4 awards that he did! It is a shame that it took him passing for those people to reconize his music is still alive! I wished that Janet would have accepted his awards for him, she was closer to him, and it would have been more heart felt. Maybe we will see his children accept awards for him! That would be a true blessing. I hope that MJ is smiling down from heaven and can feel the deep love of all of his fans, because we all know that we have not heard the last of MJ yet! RIP sweet one.

I watched it and couldn't stop crying. I first watched Janet open the show and then eharing Mj name called and seeing Jermaine almost to tears walking to the from almost killed me. Luv you MJ and miss u so much. seeing all those people perform over there I couldn't stop thinking what it would have been for Mj performing his moves on that stage. Wow that would have been a night to remember. Mj I know you looked from heaven and saw your sister, brother and your fans support you through this and I know you were happy. KIng of pop forver. I love and miss you MIchael Jackson

HELLL YEA Smiling THE KING OF POP WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN US!!!!!!!!!!! LUV YA MJ OXOOXOXOXOOXOXOOOXOOXOXO

Michael Michael Michael I love you. You did it again. Please know we are always on your side and wil continue to vote away in upcoming years. Congratulations! You surely are the King! I would have loved to see Michaels performance at the AMAs he would have blown everyone away. I do believe we will see much much more of his best work in years to come with unreleased music. He lives, he breathes, he sings, and he dances most of all he LOVES through ALLLLL of us.
