Michael Jackson took home four posthumous awards at the 37th Annual American Music Awards on Sunday, but was bested by teenage country crossover star Taylor Swift, who won five -- including Artist of the Year.
Jackson, who died at age 50 in June just days before he was meant to embark on a concert stint in London, was honored with four awards, including Favorite Male Artist (Pop/Rock). (photo: Jermaine Jackson accepting for his brother/ Getty)
