The 2009 American Music Awards are underway and we’ve already had some pretty awesome performances. Held at the Nokia Theater, the awards show commenced with an eight-minute performance by Janet Jackson.

So far the greatest performance of the evening goes to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ song, “Empire State Of Mind”. Also performing tonight were Daughtry, Shakira, Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, the Black Eyed Peas, and more.

My favorite performance of the entire night was Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and “Speechless”. To separate the songs, she broke the glass wall that encased her piano. It was so over the top and great, definitely the best performance of the night.

And the winners:

Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group – The Black Eyed Peas

Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist – Taylor Swift
Favorite Alternative Artist – Green Day
Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist – Michael Jackson
