LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- RCA Music Group artists Christina Aguilera, David Cook, Daughtry, Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan and Carrie Underwood made their marks as winners and outstanding performers at last night's 36th Annual American Music Awards at the Los Angeles' Nokia Theater.

J Records' very own Superwoman Alicia Keys won two AMAs for Favorite Album Pop/Rock and Favorite Album Soul/Rhythm & Blues for As I Am, which continues to confirm Alicia Keys' position as an international smash-artist.

RCA Records' certified quadruple platinum rockers Daughtry won Favorite Band, Duo Or Group Pop/Rock. Just last year, the band won three American Music Awards, including Favorite Album (Pop/Rock) for its self-titled debut.

Arista Nashville Superstar Carrie Underwood won Favorite Album Country Music for her Double-Platinum Carnival Ride. Earlier this year, Underwood became the only artist in country chart history to have their first seven singles all reach #1.

The show's highlights included a spectacular opening by Christina Aguilera. Leona Lewis offered a dramatic performance of her chart topping new single "Better In Time." Sarah McLachlan was joined by Pink for a surprise performance of McLachlan's classic hit "Angel," highlighted on her recent career spanning release "Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan." Unquestionably one of the highlights of the evening was Annie Lennox who was honored with an Award of Merit given to the industry's most influential artists. Lennox also gave a special performance of "Why" which will be featured on Annie's first retrospective due in February 2009. Blockbuster winner Alicia Keys closed last night's ceremonies with Queen Latifah and Kathleen Battle joining her on "Superwoman."
