At tonight's AMAs, Michael Jackson won 4 awards including favorite male pop/rock artist, favorite male Soul/R&B artist, and his album "Number Ones" won favorite album in the pop/rock category and the Soul/R&B category. Taylor Swift, however, surpassed Jackson winning 5 awards at the AMAs. Swift, who was not there to receive her awards in person stated via satellite that "Music has never been ultimately about competition. To even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honor." In his lifetime, Jackson has won 23 AMA awards.
While people may hold their judgments about Michael Jackson's personal life, the contributions he made to pop culture are undeniable. To award him posthumously, in my opinion, is a very honorable and respectable move for someone who helped shape and change pop culture. Hopefully his legacy as an entertainer will continue.
