MICHAEL JACKSON is poised to dominate the American Music Awards from beyond the grave - after earning five posthumous nominations, including Artist of The Year, at the upcoming ceremony.
The King of Pop is up against Lady Gaga, Eminem, Kings of Leon and Taylor Swift for the top honour. Jackson is also up for Favourite Male Artist and Favourite Album (Number Ones) in both the pop/rock music and soul/R&B music categories.
But the Thriller hitmaker, who died in June (09), isn’t the nominations leader - that honour belongs to country music sensation Swift, who landed six nods on Tuesday (13Oct09).
Swift will compete in categories including Favourite Female Country Music Artist, Favourite Female Pop Artist and Favourite Album (Fearless).
Rapper Eminem garnered four nominations, while Beyonce, the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon and T.I. each received three.
Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys and the Black Eyed Peas are among the acts lined up to perform at the 37th annual AMAs in Los Angeles on 22 November (09)
