Michael Jackson was honored with four American Music Awards, making history by collecting more AMAs during his career than any other artist and becoming the show's winningest posthumous artist.
Jackson was nominated for five awards, just one shy of nominee leader Taylor Swift. He was named favorite make artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. His 2003 greatest-hits album, "Number Ones," also won favorite album in both categories.
The only other award he was vying for at the night show was the final trophy, entertainer of the year, along with Lady Gaga, the Kings of Leon and Eminem and Swift (She was named favorite female pop/rock artist and her album, "Fearless," won best country album).
Jermaine Jackson, wearing a glittery white gloves in tribute to Michael, accepted two of his brother's awards, thanking "Allah for blessing my entire family" and naming each of his brothers and sisters.
He said Michael's message is more important than any award.
"The message that Michael has will live on forever," he said. "He saw good in everyone and he wanted everyone to do good. He always started with love."
Jackson's victories were among the highlights of the evening, which also featured a jaw-dropping performance from Lady Gaga and a special award for Whitney Houston.

I find it sad that eventhough this award is a good thing for Michael, I just can't help that they are still trying to make money out of his demise. Well, royalties, etc.
@ Whitney, I hope her recovery goes well, I saw her on one of her videos she still looked sick or drugged. I'm a fan ^__^v
