The 2009 American Music Awards pulled in its largest audience since 2002, early viewing figures show.
The ceremony, which featured stage falls and stimulated fellation from artists like Janet Jackson, Black Eyed Peas, Whitney Houston, and Adam Lambert, averaged 14.2million between 8pm and 11pm on ABC Sunday night.
What kind of noodle noggins does J-Hoe take us for? The “Louboutins” star is putting an interesting spin on her fall at Sunday night’s American Music Awards in Los Angeles.
“Did I trip a little bit? I don’t even remember,” she laughed while discussing her performance with Ryan Seacrest Monday morning. “I meant to do that! What are you talking about? That was part of the choreography,” Jennifer joked. “The measure of things is not what happens when you fall — it’s how you handle it when you fall.”
The singer wasn’t the only one who took a spill during the ceremony. Controversial crooner Adam Lambert also tumbled at last night’s show.
Adam Lambert’s controversial performance at the 2009 American Music Awards was edited for the West Coast feed of the awards show. But even before ABC censored the AMA’s most buzzed about performance, the American Idol singer told Access Hollywood that he felt censoring his performance would be akin to “discrimination.” Adam’s racy performance of his debut single “For Your Entertainment” — during which he simulated fellatio with a male dancer, flipped off the audience, and kissed male keyboardist Tommy Ratliff, who is straight — has been garnering headlines all morning.
The “Glam Rocker” just doesn’t get what all the fuss is about.

Hey J. Lo, don’t quit your day job! Jennifer Lopez is nursing a bump on her famous backside after slipping onstage during a performance of her critically-panned new single — “Louboutins” — at the American Music Awards on Sunday.
Artist of the Year Taylor Swift may have been the night’s big winner, but The King of Pop broke the record for the artist with the most American Music Awards ever at the ceremony in Los Angeles Sunday night. Michael Jackson posthumously won awards for both Favorite Pop/Rock artist and Favorite Male Soul/R&B artist at the 2009 AMA. The two awards brought Michael’s lifetime total to 23.
Wearing a glittery white glove as a tribute to his late brother, former Jackson Five crooner Jermaine accepted the awards on his brother’s behalf, thanking Michael’s fans and reminding them to never forget “Michael’s message…of love.”
The CMA Entertainer of the Year is also the AMA Artist of the Year. The King of Pop was honored with four American Music Awards on Sunday night, but it was 19-year-old country star Taylor Swift who was honored as “Artist of the Year”.
The “Fearless” star won five of the six awards she was nominated for at tonight’s ceremony at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, even beating out Michael Jackson for the top prize in the fan-voted awards show.
“Music has never been ultimately about competition, and to be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson is an incredible honor.” She also thanked the Jackson family after receiving the night’s biggest honor.
