American Music Awards 2009: Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga Dazzle; Jennifer Lopez Performs New Song “Louboutins”
and Michael Jackson were the big winners at tonight’s American Music Awards ceremony, with the former picking up five awards, including Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Artist in the pop/rock and country categories, and Favorite Adult-Contemporary Artist (the teen accepted her awards live via satellite from London). Jackson was recognized in four categories, including Favorite Male Artist in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories.But the AMAs, though technically an awards show, have traditionally been more about performances than statuettes, and last night’s offerings didn’t disappoint.
Performances by Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert were among the musical highlights. Lady Gaga, dressed in a flesh-colored bodysuit wrapped with white piping — embedded with flashing lights meant to imitate ribs? — performed a (literally) smashing rendition of “Speechless.” Starting off by singing hit “Bad Romance,” she segued into “Speechless” by using her microphone stand to bust open a glass box with a piano inside. Straddling the bench, she then proceeded to smash glass bottles as she performed the song. In a bizarre touch, she had violinists perform wearing gas masks in smoke-filled chambers beside her.Morehttp://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2009/11/22/american-music-awards-2009-adam-lambert-lady-gaga-dazzle-jennifer-lope
